How you can check your are Obese by Anjum Khanna,
Anjum Khanna says, you can check your obesity through BMI (Body Mass Index). This Body Mass Index (or BMI) is calculated as your weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of your height (in metres) or BMI = Kg/M2. According to patient.info, A recent study comparing BMI, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio and waist to height ratio found that the most accurate way of predicting your whole-body fat level was waist-height ratio.
The whole body obesity is defined by a waist-height ratio of:
0.53 or more for men
0.54 or more for women
And, abdominal obesity was defined by a waist-height ratio of 0.59 or more.
