Topic	How do you distinguish between chubby/curvy/fat/obese?
TeaMilk 04/25/18 6:05:16 PM #14:	Yea, curvy is dependent on a person's build/fat distribution, and chubby < fat < obese in increasing fatness. As for defining a threshold for each term, I'd probably have to see pictures to make a fair judgement. Weight alone isn't a good metric except for extreme outliers, like obviously a 700lb person is obese regardless of their height. Even BMI doesn't tell you much since it doesn't take into account muscle/fat ratio. Maybe a combined BMI and body fat % could be used to establish thresholds. --- 3DS: 3093-7075-8544 <cite>TeaMilk posted [p:900297677] in How do you...
