Obesity

Medical condition of excess body fat

Obesity is a medical condition, considered a disease by multiple organizations, in which excess body fat has accumulated to such an extent that it can have negative effects on health. People are classified as obese when their body mass index (BMI)—a person's weight divided by the square of the person's height—is over 30 kg/m²; the range 25–30 kg/m² is defined as overweight. Some East Asian countries use lower BMI thresholds to define obesity.
