The anthropometric measurements like Body Mass Index and Waist circumference are the other important indicators for grading the clients into Normal / Overweight / Obese categories to offer them adequate solutions. The treating team members also take an overview of all the associated risks and medical health status, social and personal situations and precipitating factors that may be responsible for client's weight gain.
Medical Assessment:
