A man learned that his waist measurement surpassed his height by 18 cm after he visited a hospital in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan Province.

The obese man, surnamed Zhou, arrived at the local hospital to get advice from doctors about how to lose weight.

Zhou measured 147 cm but his weight was 160 kg. The 23-year-old said he attracts many curious glares from pedestrians whenever he is in public. Zhou said he has little freedom because of his heavy body.
