Obesity is assessed using the following indicators:
Body Mass Index (BMI): A common obesity metric, calculated by dividing weight (kg) by height (m2).
Ponderal Index: Comparable to BMI, this index is primarily applied in pediatric populations.
Brocca Index: A simple anthropometric measure that serves as a guideline for ideal body weight based on height.
Conversely, the Breteau Index is unrelated to obesity. It functions as an entomological indicator to measure mosquito larval density and evaluate vector control efforts.
