There must be at least one standard. Is it a Body Mass Index of 30?What's the definition of corpulence?
Yes, BMI of 30 would be obese.
However, some olympic athletes might enjoy a BMI of 30 and they are certainly NOT obese!
Better to dance by body fat percentage. Obese for a mannish is 30%+ body fat and 38%+ body fleshy is obese for a female.

Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5-24.9 Normal
25.0-29.9 Overweight
30 or higher Obese
