How Is Obesity and Weight Measured?

Though there are a few ways to measure body fat and its distribution, the Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most widely used method to classify obesity. The BMI assesses whether a person’s weight is appropriate for their height. It provides a general indication of body fat and determines whether a person is underweight, at a proper weight, overweight, or obese. The BMI's results help us decide which treatment options are best, based on the patient's weight and goals.

Our Comprehensive Obesity Treatments and Solutions

From fostering healthier habits to more complex treatment options, we provide various options that enable patients to take control of their weight and well-being, including the following:

Lifestyle Changes

Modifications to lifestyle are often the first step patients take when combating obesity. This can include diet and exercise guidance and weight loss management.

Medication Support

For patients who can’t lose weight through lifestyle changes alone, we may recommend prescription medications to support their new diet and lifestyle habits.

Underlying Causes

Obesity can be caused by underlying conditions like hypothyroidism. In these cases, treating the underlying issue is essential for effective weight loss and management.
