Definitions of obesity and overweight status

Being overweight or obese is a relative term. In general, if your weight is higher than what is considered normal for your height, and age, you are considered overweight. The simplest way to measure if a person is overweight or obese is to check the Body Mass Index or BMI.

BMI of <18.5, is within the underweight range.
BMI of 18.5 to <25, is within the normal range.
BMI of 25.0 to <30, is within the overweight range.
BMI of 30.0 or higher, is within the obese range.

Obesity is further subdivided into categories:

Class 1 obesity: BMI of 30 to < 35
Class 2 obesity: BMI of 35 to < 40
Class 3 or morbid obesity: BMI of 40 or higher

You can use a BMI calculator to check if you might be overweight or obese.
