What's the Obese Weight Range for Women?

Hello ObesityResearcher, Great question! In general, health professionals use the Body Mass Index (BMI) to categorize weight status. For adults, a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese. However, BMI doesn't take into account muscle mass, so it may not be accurate for athletes or very muscular individuals. Best, Admin
Hi again, Just to add some context, it's important to remember that obesity is a complex health issue that involves many factors beyond just weight. These can include genetics, physical activity levels, diet, and mental health. That's why it's so important to approach weight management in a holistic way, focusing on overall health and well-being rather than just the number on the scale. Best, Admin
One more thing, Obesity is often classified as a chronic condition, meaning it's long-term and requires ongoing management. It's not something that can be cured overnight, but there are many evidence-based strategies that can help, such as making sustainable changes to diet and physical activity, getting enough sleep, and managing stress. Remember, it's always a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider before starting any new health regimen. Best, Admin
