Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I am finding myself without a good descriptive term to use in my exams. How do you guys describe obesity that is " beyond morbid " ? For body habitus, I usually choose from lean, muscular, well developed and well nourished, overweight (applied to BMI 26-30), obese (BMI 31-33) and morbidly obese (BMI > 33) Problem is, I have more and more patients with BMIs that are A LOT more than 33....like 46 to 56...and I haven't been able to think of a term that sounds nonjudgmental and still conveys the reality.Any suggestions? -- Annie SkaggsLexington, KY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
