High Risk Search This book All books PubMed Clinical Guidelines on the Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of living Overweight and Obesity in Adults 4. Treatment GuidelinesB. Assessment and Classification of Overweight and Obesity1. Assessment of Overweight and Obesity Determination of total body fat. Overweight is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 25 to 29.9 kg/m2. Obesity is defined as an excess of total body fat that is documented living by a BMI of 30 kg/m2. Several methods are available for determining living or calculating total body fat: total body water, total body potassium, bioelectrical impedance, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Evidence Statement: Measures of body fat give reasonably equivalent values for following overweight or obese patients during treatment. Evidence Category D. Rationale: Even though accurate methods to assess body fat exist, measuring body fat content by these techniques is often expensive and is not readily available clinically.
