Obesity is an abnormal accumulation of body fat. A person is said to be obese or overweight when he/she has additional body fat above the ideal body weight; 20-40% over ideal body weight is considered mildly obese; 40-100% over ideal body weight is considered moderately obese; and 100% over ideal body weight is considered severely or morbidly obese. The World Health Organization (WHO) has termed obesity as a worldwide epidemic and obesity-related diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent.
Thanks.
Thanks.
