Answer:

People with a BMI of 30-34% are considered Type I obese.

Step-by-step explanation:

BMI stands for Body Mass Index, a parameter adopted by the World Health Organization to calculate the ideal weight of each person. The index is calculated as follows: the patient's weight is divided by his squared height. It is said that the individual has normal weight when the BMI result is between 18.5 and 24.9%, results above that show that the individual is overweight and results between 30-34% indicate that the individual is Type I obese.
