- Revised Definition of Obesity in Asian Indians Published!
January 25, 2025
Dr. Jothydev Kesavadev, as a member of the Steering Committee of the India Obesity Commission, has contributed to a newly published article in Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & Reviews that introduces a revised definition of obesity for Asian Indians. This new definition is more simplified and focuses on functional status rather than just numerical thresholds. Both Stage 1 and Stage 2 obesity are now defined with a BMI cutoff starting from 23 kg/m². For Stage 2 obesity, the criteria require a BMI exceeding 23 kg/m², along with at least one of the following: excess waist circumference or an elevated waist-to-height ratio, symptoms indicating limitations in daily activities, or the presence of obesity-related diseases. This updated classification aims to improve the identification and management of obesity, considering the unique metabolic risks and health challenges faced by the Indian population.
