A BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese. To determine this, you initially need to calculate your body mass index (BMI) by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters. The formula for BMI is BMI = weight (kg) / height (m^2). Once you have obtained your BMI, you can refer to the BMI categories to identify your weight status. A BMI of 30 or higher falls into the obesity category.
