Rosa was at her doctor's office for her yearly checkup. She knew she had been experiencing some weight gain and had good intentions over the last year to get that under control. However, she was appalled and shocked to find her body mass index was 32.5. What will the doctor say about her current weight?

Answer: Her current weight is obese

Step-by-step explanation:

Body Mass index (BMI) is a formula used to classify weight of an individual.

BMI = weight(kg)/Height squared (m^2).

Underweight = less than 18.5

Normal = 18.5 - 24.9

Overweight = 25.0 - 29.9

Obese = greater than 30.0
