(+info)Morbid obesity is typically defined as a BMI of 40 or higher, but some experts define it as a BMI of 35 or higher with one or more obesity-related health conditions, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or sleep apnea.
Morbid obesity is different from simple obesity, which is defined as a BMI of 30 to 39. While simple obesity can also increase the risk of health problems, it is generally considered less severe than morbid obesity.
Morbid obesity is often treated with a combination of lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, and medications or surgery. In some cases, bariatric surgery may be recommended to help achieve and maintain weight loss.
It is important to note that BMI is not always an accurate measure of health, as it does not take into account muscle mass or body composition. However, it can provide a general indicator of whether an individual is at a healthy weight or if they are at risk for health problems due to their weight.
