Definition, measurement, and classification of the syndromes of obesity
1978
Bray, George A.
Extract: The definition and risks of obesity are reviewed and a nomogram provided for reference. Organization of information about the syndromes of obesity has been approached from several points of view. An anatomic classification has been developed, in which generalized and localized forms of fat accumulation can be separated. Etiologic mechanisms, also useful in classifying obesity, are described. Techniques of cybernetic engineering provide a third approach to classification of the syndromes of obesity.
