Abdominal Obesity Criteria and Measurement Methods (+ How to Reduce Belly Fat) image 1

In everyday life, if you get little exercise and spend a long time sitting, various problems can arise, such as poor posture or abdominal obesity.

If you do not take care of yourself by stretching and walking for a certain amount of time every day, it is normal for fat to naturally accumulate around the abdomen. That is why both men and women often worry and become concerned about their waistline!

Today, we will talk about the criteria for abdominal obesity, how to measure it, and even ways to reduce belly fat.

The criteria for abdominal obesity are generally determined by measuring waist circumference. This indicates the degree of abdominal fat accumulation and is also used to assess the risk of various chronic diseases.

  • Men: Waist circumference of 90 cm (35.4 inches) or more

  • Women: Waist circumference of 85 cm (33.5 inches) or more

According to the above standards, if the waist circumference is above the threshold, it can be considered abdominal obesity. So, how is it measured?

  • To measure, stand on a flat floor and keep your breathing relaxed.

  • Wrap the measuring tape around the area near the navel and keep it horizontal.

  • Make sure the tape is not too tight against the skin, but also not loose.

  • Measure while exhaling.

Then, if you suspect abdominal obesity, what are some ways to reduce belly fat? Here, I would like to introduce representative abdominal contouring procedures.

First, there is abdominal liposuction surgery, which removes fat accumulated in the abdomen. A tube is inserted through a small incision to suction out the fat. It has a relatively quick recovery time and helps reduce the thickness of the fat layer.

There is also abdominoplasty, which removes skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the stretched abdominal muscles. This can produce satisfying results in cases where the abdominal skin has stretched after childbirth or lost elasticity due to rapid weight loss.

In addition, there are mini abdominoplasty and laser procedures. When considering abdominal contouring, it is important to choose a method that matches your condition and desired results through 충분한 consultation with a trusted plastic surgery clinic.

It is also necessary to maintain the results after surgery through healthy eating habits and regular exercise.
