Obesity table for women by weight, height, age. Degrees

Obesity is overweightcaused by metabolic disorders in the body. To calculate the weight index, you must use a special table or formula. However, it should be borne in mind that the calculation is made taking into account gender, and the index itself for women and men will differ.

What is obesity and its causes

Overweight, or obesity, develops as a result of metabolic disorders and is characterized by the accumulation of fat in tissues, organs or under the skin.

Causes of obesity in women:

• hereditary factor (predisposition);
• endocrine disorders;
• psychosomatic disorders (stressful situations, depression);
• long-term use of certain medications (hormonal drugs);
• improper lifestyle - violation of dietary rules, inactivity, lack of physical activity and stress.

In some cases, overweight can provoke various diseases, especially those associated with the production of hormones.

Factors affecting weight gain

The provoking factors contributing to obesity can be hormonal disorders associated with various physiological changes. Also, excess body weight can occur against the background of pregnancy, with sleep disorders, and be associated with changes in diet (excessive consumption of food or food rich in carbohydrates).

Genetic predisposition can also be a trigger for the development of obesity.

Other risk factors:

• diabetes;
• high blood pressure;
• ischemic diseases;
• stroke.

In some cases, pathology can develop against the background of age-related changes - a decrease in mobility and metabolic processes in the body.

Symptoms than dangerous

The obesity table for women helps to assess the degree of the disease and prevent further progression of the disorder and allows you to consult a specialist at the first symptoms. The main characteristic symptom of the disease is overweight, which can be determined by external signs - the deposition of fat masses in the thighs, abdomen, and chin.

Other symptoms:

• somatic disorders - drowsiness, weakness, irritability;
• shortness of breath, even with minimal physical exertion;
• excessive sweating;
• stool problems (constipation);
• pain in the spine and joints;
• violation of menstruation (in women);
• decreased potency (in men);
• snoring (respiratory distress);
• development of diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• excessive dry mouth;
• increase in blood pressure.

In the absence of any preventive measures, pathology can lead to various complications. In most cases, pathology leads to various psychological problems. However, it can often cause additional health problems.

Possible complications:

• diabetes;
• ischemic heart disease;
• stroke;
• cirrhosis of the liver;
• development of apnea;
• the formation of stones in the gallbladder;
• heart failure;
• arthrosis and arthritis;
• the formation of cysts in the ovarian area;
• in women - disruptions in menstrual cycles, in men - problems with erection and decreased sex drive.

In more severe cases, the disease can lead to the development of malignant tumors - cancer of the breast, uterus or prostate. Also, pathology significantly increases the risks of sudden death.

According to statistics, the death rate in overweight people aged 15 to 70 is 3 times higher than in people of normal weight.

The formula for calculating the ideal weight for women, why you need to know the BMI

You can determine whether you have obesity either by the corresponding symptoms or by using a special formula for body mass index (BMI).

Formula: weight (kg) / height (m²).

Knowing your body mass index can help you control your weight and adjust your diet to avoid the accumulation of subcutaneous fat.

Normal weight table by age, height

The obesity table for women is compiled according to WHO recommendations and applies to all categories, with the exception of athletes, pregnant women, as well as those who have various diseases leading to edema and, as a result, weight gain body.

Obesity in women

At the moment, experts distinguish 4 degrees of obesity, depending on the amount exceeded normal weight indicators.

Classification:

• 1st degree. At this stage, there is an increase in body weight by 20-30% of normal values. The condition is not dangerous, no structural changes in organs and tissues are observed.
• 2nd degree. In this case, the patient's weight is increased by 30-39%. The condition is characterized by a significant increase in body fat and the absence of serious health problems.
• 3rd degree. Body weight at the 3rd stage exceeds the norm by 50-100%. At the same time, there is a deterioration in metabolic processes and the development of disorders in internal organs.
• 4th degree. Pathology is diagnosed when the patient's weight exceeds the norm by 100%. In this condition, there is a significant deterioration in metabolism, problems with internal organs become more pronounced.

The 4th degree is considered the most critical and requires outside help, since a person in this state is not able to serve himself.

Generalized table of obesity rates

The BMI table helps to calculate the degree of obesity and identify the risks of comorbid disorders, which can lead to overweight in women.

Body mass index	Classification	Risks of developing diseases
18,5	Underweight	Short
18,5-24,9	Norm	Usual
25-29,9	Above normal, overweight	Elevated
30-34,9	High value, 1st degree obesity	High
35-39,9	2nd degree obesity	Very tall
40 and up	3rd and 4th degree of obesity	Extremely high

The presence of concomitant diseases complicates the treatment of pathology, therefore it is recommended to contact a specialist at the first signs of a violation.

However, in most cases, it is necessary to contact other related specialists, based on the cause of the development of the disorder.

Stage 1

• Medication. The selection of drugs takes place on an individual basis and only on the advice of the attending specialist. Aids may be prescribed to suppress hunger, increase the activity of the hormone of satiety, and reduce the absorption of fats.

In the absence of a therapeutic effect from the listed methods, surgical methods of treatment can be prescribed. However, such therapy is carried out only with a BMI of more than 35.

Stage 3

With the 3rd degree of obesity, it is necessary to consult and be examined by several specialists at once. Thus, it is recommended to consult a therapist, nutritionist, cardiologist, endocrinologist, psychotherapist and surgeon.

Diet food at this stage is developed individually, however, in any case, the following foods should be excluded from the diet:

• antipsychotics;
• agents that reduce the absorption of fats;
• drugs that increase the satiety hormone;
• drugs to reduce appetite.

Surgical intervention is also performed:

• Bariatric surgery - gastric volume reduction.
• Gastroplasty - removal of part of the stomach or reduction of its volume.
• Gastric bypass surgery - helps to reduce food absorption.
• Stomach Band - Decrease the rate of passage of food and increase rapid satiety.

One way or another is selected individually according to indications and contraindications.

Stage 4

The obesity table for women predicts the possible outcome and risks of developing concomitant diseases, therefore, it is extremely necessary at any age, especially for those who have a predisposition to development violations.
