Weight Management

Obesity is a condition whereby a person has an excessive amount of body fat, which puts one at risk of certain health complications such as cardiovascular disease and stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes and more. 

​

It's important to understand the reasons for your weight gain, and take steps to tackle it by making changes to your lifestyle.

Checking Weight

Body Mass Index (BMI)

Obesity can be defined by calculating one's Body Mass Index (BMI)

BMI = weight (kg)/height x height (m)

A BMI of 18.5 to 22.9 is healthy, while a BMI of 23 and above puts one at risk. A result of 30 and more is considered obese.  

Measuring Waist

Waist Circumference

In addition to BMI, your waist circumference is a good indicator of body fat and its distribution. Take note if your waist measurement is above 80cm for Asian women, and 90cm for Asian men.
