Morbid Obesity

How do we determine obesity?

For men, morbid obesity is a body fat percentage of 40% or above. For a woman, it is a body fat percentage of 45% or above. This is measured by a Body Composition Analysis machine within our office. This will look at two key factors, Body Fat Percentage and Phase Angle. At our office, we do not follow the traditional BMI.
