Obesity Classification for Indians — What Your BMI Means
Using Indian/Asian standards from WHO: Class I Obesity (BMI 27.5–32.4) — High risk for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Lifestyle intervention is the primary treatment: caloric reduction, exercise, and behavior modification. Class II Obesity (BMI 32.5–37.4) — Very high risk. Medical supervision with possible pharmacotherapy (weight loss medications). Class III Obesity (BMI 37.5+) — Extreme risk. Bariatric surgery may be considered when lifestyle and medical therapy have not achieved adequate results.
