Obesity

What is obesity?

Obesity is a complex health condition involving excess body fat that increases a person's risk for other diseases and health problems. Some key points about obesity include:

• Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. BMI is calculated based on your weight and height.


• Obesity occurs when a person consumes more calories than their body burns through normal daily activities and exercise over an extended period of time. The excess calories are stored as fat.


• Genetics, lifestyle factors (like unhealthy diet and lack of exercise), certain diseases, and the use of some medications can increase your risk for obesity.

Obesity increases the likelihood of developing various health issues like:

• Heart disease


• Type 2 diabetes


• High blood pressure


• High cholesterol


• Stroke


• Certain cancers

Fortunately, obesity can often be prevented and treated through dietary changes, increased physical activity, behavior therapy, medications, or even bariatric surgery in severe cases.
