    • Accurate classification is crucial for health assessment and intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically analyze current approaches to defining excessive body weight and obesity.
    • To propose an original classification system for body weight and obesity degrees.
    • To present empirical findings from a study on young males.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing body weight and obesity classifications.
    • Development of a novel classification system.
    • Empirical examination of 300 healthy males aged up to 25 years.

    Main Results:

    • A critical evaluation of diverse methodologies for defining excessive body weight and obesity.
    • Introduction of a novel, original classification for body weight and obesity gradation.
    • Presentation of data derived from the examination of 300 males.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed classification offers a refined approach to assessing body weight and obesity.
    • Empirical data supports the utility of the new classification system.
    • Further research is warranted to validate and expand the classification across diverse populations.
