3 Xenical Slide Kit August 1998 Section 1 3 Slide 3: Obesity is usually measured as body mass index (BMI) The most common measure of obesity is the body mass index (BMI). BMI is the ratio of body weight (kg) divided by height (m 2 ). Both weight and height can be measured very simply in the clinic and the BMI determined by calculation of the formula. Using BMI, it is possible to determine obesity by reference to internationally accepted “Grades”, commencing with “normal” (Grade 0) for individuals with a BMI <25 kg/m 2 and rising to “severely obese” at Grade 3 (BMI >40 kg/m 2 ).
Prevalence of Overweight / Obesity in Adult Filipinos Applying the NIH / WHO guidelines to the results of the surveys conducted by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Philippines from 1987 to 1999, one can see that the prevalence of overweight has increased in a 12 year period from 12% to 17%. Likewise, prevalence of obesity has almost doubled from 1.7% to 3.2%.
Prevalence of Overweight / Obesity in Adult Filipinos (WHO vs.. AP) However, when the Asia-Pacific guidelines is used instead as it is more appropriate for our population, then one can appreciate the magnitude of the health problem we are currently facing. With the lower cutoff BMIs for obesity (>25) and overweight (>23), about 20% of adult Filipinos are considered obese, and an additional 23% are considered overweight. This means that 43% of adult Filipinos, or roughly 17 million, are either overweight or obese.
