- Normal weight (BMI < 25):正常体重(BMI < 25)
- Overweight (BMI 25 – 29.9, no obesity-related complications):過体重(25 − 29.9、肥満関連合併症無し
- Obesity stage 0 (BMI 30 or greater and no obesity-related complications):肥満 stage 0 (BMI 30 以上、肥満合併症無し)
- Obesity stage 1 (BMI 25 or greater* and the presence of 1 or more mild to moderate obesity-related complications):肥満 stage 1 (BMI 25以上、肥満関連軽症から中等度合併症1つ以上あり)
- Obesity stage 2 (BMI 25 or greater* and the presence of 1 or more severe obesity-related complications):肥満 stage 2 (BMI 25以上、肥満関連重度合併症1つ以上あり)
