What is the minimum BMI for considering bariatric surgery?

  1. 30

  2. 35

  3. 40

  4. 45

The correct answer is: 40

Bariatric surgery is a weight loss surgery option for people who have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher. This is because a BMI of 40 or higher is considered to be a severe obesity level, so surgery may be necessary to help reduce health risks. Options A, B, and D all have BMIs that are below 40 and therefore are not the minimum requirement for bariatric surgery.
