Current classification of obesity is based on the relative body weight and fat tissue distribution, it does not provide relevant information on functional status, quality of live and patient prognosis. A combination of obesity classes with 5 stages is being proposed, where the stages are defined by the presence of risk factors, obesity-related diseases and the level of functional impairment. Individual stages are associated with recommended preventive and treatment approaches.
