Obesity

Obesity is defined as an excess of body fat and a body mass index, or BMI, of over 30. Morbid obesity refers to a person who is 50-100% over normal body weight, more than 100 pounds over a normal weight, or has BMI of 40 or higher. Morbidly obese people have a body weight that interferes with their general health and everyday function.
