Obesity

What is obesity?

Obesity is characterized by having an excessive amount of body fat. More specifically, it refers to having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. BMI is calculated based on your weight and height.

Some key points about obesity:

• It's a complex disease involving multiple factors like genetics, lifestyle, environment, etc.


• Obesity increases the risk for various health issues like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers.


• Losing even a small amount of weight can have big benefits if you're obese. Losing just 5-10% of your body weight can significantly lower disease risk factors.


• Making lifestyle changes involving healthy eating and regular exercise is the main treatment approach. Sometimes medications or bariatric surgery may be options too.

So in summary, obesity is having high levels of body fat that negatively impact health. It's largely preventable through lifestyle choices. Even small amounts of weight loss can be meaningful.

Now you might wonder - how do I know if I'm obese or not based on my weight?

That's where BMI comes in handy. Here's a quick BMI calculator to check yours:

A BMI of 30 or higher indicates obesity. If your BMI is in the obese range, consider discussing it with your doctor. Lifestyle changes or possibly other treatment routes may be recommended depending on your health status.
