Obesity is a condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to an extent that health may be negatively affected.[1] It is commonly defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or higher.[1] This distinguishes it from being overweight as defined by a BMI of 25 kg/m2 or higher.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BMI can be used to estimate the prevalence of obesity within a population and the risks associated with it. It does not, however, account for the wide variation in the nature of obesity between different individuals and populations. WHO Expert Committee has proposed the classification of overweight and obesity that applies to both man and women and to all adult age groups.
