What are different types of obesity?

There are several standardized types of obesity that have been classified by the World Health Organization (WHO). Types of obesity range from class to class III, but since then they have been divided into categories such as “mild obesity” and “super obesity” by other organizations to provide a reference framework. Since WHO standards do not apply to these distributed categories, the exact qualifications of the body weight (BMI) may vary by up to five points depending on the source for each category. However, they can still provide a useful insight into the severity of each type of obesity. It is important to realize that while BMI significantly correlates with the amount of body fat that a person has, do not take into account the type of body and may not perfectly reflect the health risks of a person under certain circumstances. For example, strongly muscular, FIT individual can have a BMI, which is considered obese even without excess body fat.

Normal BMI falls within the range of 18.5 to 24.99. People who have a BMIS 25 to 29,99 are considered overweight or "before machining". Although it is not technically obesity, individuals in this category should proceed with caution and try to prevent further weight gain, because this phase is associated with the beginnings of the disease related to obesity. For some people, the underlying disease can cause overweight. It is important to obtain the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases at this stage before it causes an individual to progress into full obesity.

Class I is the first and lowest of the real types of obesity. Individuals with BMI Between 30 and 34.99 would fall into this category. Class II includes BMIS 35 to 39,99. For more than 40 years, class III or BMI includes subcategories of serious, morbid and super obesity, according to the increase in severity.

Although mild obesity is considerable health risks, class III has the highest incidence of health problems related to obesity. Excess body fat and sitAn and the lifestyle that often accompanies can lead to a number of diseases, including hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes. Very obese individuals are also exposed to a higher risk of sleep apnea, liver disease and some types of cancer.
