Obesity
A disorder involving excessive body fat that increases the risk of health problems.
Obesity often results from taking in more calories than are burned by exercise and normal daily activities.
Obesity occurs when a person’s body mass index (BMI) is 25 or greater. Excessive body fat increases the risk of serious health problems.
The mainstay of treatment is lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. For severely obese, bariatric surgery or an intragastric balloon is an option.
