It is safe to say that excess weight is a relative concept.
One girl may consider her hips wide and think that she weighs too much, another is worried about a “thick” double chin, although this is due to the anatomy of the face.
Some, on the contrary, do not notice the problem and think that “there should be a lot of a good person.”
I don't want to offend anyone, but it is important to remember that excess weight can have a negative impact on health. People suffering from this problem automatically fall into risk groups for various diseases.
This is the reason why, during a doctor’s appointment, specialists request information about the patient’s weight and height in order to subsequently correlate these values using the body mass index formula.
But not everyone has scales at home – for this reason, some people cannot tell their exact weight.
Luckily, there is a much simpler method for determining whether you are overweight, which simply requires measuring your waist.
Normally, this figure should not exceed 80 cm for women and 94 cm for men.
