Am I Obese Quiz
Questions: 15 · 10 minutes
1. How has your weight changed over roughly the past 6-12 months?
It has changed gradually in an intended way
It has been broadly stable or changed as expected for my circumstances
It changed rapidly or unexpectedly alongside weakness, fainting, persistent vomiting, or feeling seriously unwell
There has been a noticeable unexplained change that I have not discussed with a clinician
2. How do joint discomfort or mobility difficulties affect your daily routine?
They regularly limit walking, standing, stairs, or activities I value
They do not meaningfully affect my routine
I have sudden loss of mobility, severe pain, or cannot move safely
I make an occasional adjustment because of mild discomfort
3. What feedback have you received from a qualified clinician about your weight or BMI?
I have not had a recent professional review
A clinician documented obesity or said my weight needs timely medical attention
A clinician reviewed it without identifying a weight-related concern
A clinician suggested monitoring it or discussing gradual weight management
4. How well does standard adult BMI apply to your present circumstances?
I am 18 or older, not pregnant, and have reliable measurements without unusual muscle mass
I am under 18, pregnant, or recently postpartum, so adult BMI categories are not appropriate on their own
My muscularity, disability, age-related body changes, or another factor may substantially affect interpretation
It generally applies, but one of my height or weight measurements may be imprecise
5. How has thinking about your weight or body affected you recently?
It causes frequent distress or leads me to avoid care, people, or valued activities
It takes little attention or does not cause meaningful distress
I have thoughts of harming myself or feel unable to stay safe because of this distress
I worry occasionally, but the feeling passes without much disruption
6. Looking across reliable BMI measurements from the past year, which pattern fits best?
They have generally been between 25.0 and 29.9
They have consistently been below 25.0
At least one reliable result was 30.0 or above
Results were close to 25.0, varied across categories, or were not tracked
7. When handling tasks such as dressing, bathing, shopping, or household work, which experience is closest to yours?
I manage them without body-size or stamina-related difficulty
I cannot complete an essential task safely or need urgent assistance
I sometimes change the pace, method, or equipment to stay comfortable
Difficulty regularly prevents or substantially delays one or more tasks
8. If you divide your waist measurement by your height using the same units, what is the approximate result?
0.60 or higher
Below 0.50
I have not measured it reliably
Between 0.50 and 0.59
9. Using a recent measured height and weight, which adult BMI range best matches your result?
18.5-24.9
25.0-29.9
30.0 or above
Below 18.5, or I do not have a reliable recent result
10. Which description best matches your sleep over a typical week?
Someone has witnessed breathing pauses, choking, or repeated gasping during my sleep
I usually wake rested without known snoring or breathing interruptions
I occasionally snore or wake less refreshed than I would like
I frequently snore loudly, wake with headaches, or struggle with daytime sleepiness
11. What is the current picture from checks such as blood pressure, blood glucose, or cholesterol?
A clinician has identified one result that needs monitoring or follow-up
Recent checks were within the targets discussed with my clinician
I have no recent results or am uncertain what they mean
A clinician has said a result is dangerously high, uncontrolled, or needs prompt attention
12. After eating or worrying about weight, which response is closest to yours?
I do not use compensatory behaviours
I vomit, misuse laxatives or medication, faint from restriction, or use another dangerous method
I sometimes feel an urge to compensate but do not act on it
I repeatedly skip meals, fast, or exercise rigidly to compensate
13. When eating, how often do you feel unable to control the amount or stop when you intend to?
This happens repeatedly and leaves me distressed or physically uncomfortable
It has happened occasionally, without becoming a recurring pattern
It is not an experience I currently have
Episodes are frequent, cause injury or severe illness, or make me feel in immediate danger
14. During ordinary activities such as walking across a room or climbing a familiar flight of stairs, what happens with your breathing?
I sometimes become mildly winded but recover promptly
Breathing difficulty regularly makes me stop or avoid the activity
My breathing feels typical for me and does not restrict the activity
I have breathlessness at rest, chest pain, fainting, or severe breathing trouble
15. What effect have weight-related comments, stigma, or practical barriers had on your care and social life?
They have repeatedly led me to avoid appointments, relationships, work, school, or public activities
They have not meaningfully affected my access or participation
I have faced threats, coercion, denied urgent care, or immediate danger connected with my body size
An occasional comment or barrier has upset or inconvenienced me
