Your client weighs 15 stone. There are 14lbs in a stone, so he weighs 210lbs, or approx 94.45kgs.
His height is 192cm.
The formula for calculating his BMI is
weight(94.45kgs) / height (1.92m) squared
This gives him a BMI of 25.6
This is just on the overweight side (18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal).
He is not obese, he may be a little overweight at most (A BMI greater than 30 would move him into the obese range).
Remember some men may have a high BMI due to developed muscles rather than fat - is your client athletic?
If not, consider other factors that influence health - his blood pressure, general health and waist circumference.

Its to do with your BMI or body mass index. It's a ratio of your weight divided by your height squared. Your client has a BMI of 25.85, so no he is not obese. This is at the top end of the healthy range (20-25). Go on, let him have another doughnut

It's not an exact weight amount, it depends on your BMI (body mass index). By the way, a BMI over 30 is considered medically obese. And for the Americans, 1 stone is 14 lbs so his guy weighs 210 lbs.

if a person's BMI is over 30, they are considered obese. there's a calculator you can use on the BBC website. I can't find one that uses stone and cm as measurements. I'm in the USA.

Take his ideal weight for his height, and 100 pounds over that is obese....

find a body mass index calculator online, plug in your client's numbers and it will tell you if he is obese. Usually a BMI greater than 30 defines obesity.

Try this link to calculate his appropriate weight. Seems obesity is determined by body mass index.
