Overweight and obesity is most commonly measured for adults using the Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI is calculated by dividing weight (kg) by height (cm). For example, a female weighing 70kg and measuring 1.75m would have a BMI of 22.8, falling into the 'normal' weight range. A BMI of 25 or more is considered to be overweight, with obesity determined at a BMI of 30 or more.
