Absence of body fat percentage ranges limits obesity diagnostic precision; leaves open validation of thresholds to complement BMI.
Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health [1], no worldwide accepted published ranges of body fat percentage for identifying obesity, however, currently exist [2]. As such, the practical definition of obesity is based on the Body Mass Index (BMI), also known as Quetelet’s Index, which relates height to weight (weight (kg)/height
