Abstract : Siman Mufrit is described as the buildup of extra body fat. The first person to recognize Siman Mufrit's problems and links to disease processes was Hippocrates (460 BC). Overweight people are those whose BMI is between 25 and 30 kg/m2, obese people are those whose BMI is between 30 and 40, and morbidly obese people are those with a BMI over 40. when there has been an accumulation of Shahm (fat) in a specific organ, sometimes referred to as a Muqami Simane Mufrat. Umoomi Simane Mufrat is the term for excessive widespread deposition of Shahm (fat) in the body.
