Explanation:

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. A BMI of 18.5 - 24.9 is considered normal weight, 25 - 29.9 is overweight, 30 - 39.9 is obese, and 40 or higher is extremely obese. Since the client's BMI is 45 (which is ≥ 40), this falls into the extremely obese category.

extremely obese.
