Acupuncture Treatment for Obesity
Obesity is defined as a condition in which body weight exceeds standard weight by 20% due to excess caloric intake over expenditure, with fat stored in the body. The calculation method is: (Height in cm - 100 cm) × 90% = Standard Body Weight. For example, if your height is 158 cm and your current weight is 70 kg, then (158 cm - 100 cm = 58 cm) × 90% = 52.2 kg, meaning your ideal weight should be 52.2 kg. However, you currently exceed this standard by 34%, indicating that you have obesity.
