Obesity in the material is defined by BMI >30 and Girth greater than how many centimeters?

• A. 90 cm
• B. 110 cm
• C. 100 cm
• D. 120 cm

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is how obesity is defined when using both overall body fat and abdominal fat together. In this material, obesity is identified when BMI is greater than 30 and abdominal girth exceeds 100 cm. BMI gives a general sense of fatness relative to height, but it doesn’t reveal how fat is distributed. Girth, typically measured around the abdomen at the level of the navel, provides a quick proxy for central or visceral fat, which is more strongly linked to metabolic and cardiovascular risk. Using both criteria together makes the definition more precise for identifying individuals with significant fat around the abdomen. The 100 cm threshold is the cut-off used here for the girth measure; the other values do not align with this material’s standard.
