Quiz: Do you know if you are obese?

India became the third most obese country in the world in 2014, only behind US and China. In 2016, a survey conducted in the country’s National Capital Region revealed that 80 per cent of its population is obese.
Let us see how much we actually know about the disease staring us in our face. Take the following quiz and if you answer YES to more than four questions, you run the risk of being obese.

If your Body Mass Index is above 27.5, you are obese. If it is over 32.5 and less than 50, you have morbid obesity and if it is over 50, you have super obesity, says Dr Pradeep Chowbey, Chairman, Max Institute of Minimal Access, Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, Saket.
