This feature article seeks to shed light on the implications of obesity, its underlying causes, and successful treatment and prevention techniques. We can fight to create a healthy future for everyone if we comprehend the complexity of this problem.

Understanding The Issue:

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. A body mass index (BMI) over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 is obese.

Using your BMI, you may determine whether your weight is appropriate for your height.

For most adults, a BMI of:

• 18.5 to 24.9 means you’re a healthy weight
• 25 to 29.9 means you’re overweight
• 30 to 39.9 means you’re obese
• 40 or above means you’re severely obese
