BMI >/= 25

BMI >/= 27 with at least 1 weight-related condition

BMI >/= 30, or a BMI >/= 27 with at least 1 weight-related condition

The correct answer is C. The minimum BMI requirement for the prescription of weight loss drugs is a BMI ≥ 30, or a BMI ≥ 27 with at least 1 weight-related condition. This criterion is established based on guidelines for the appropriate use of weight loss medications in individuals who are considered obese or overweight with at least one obesity-related comorbidity.
