What is Obesity? What is the Solution? - English

Obesity is defined as having an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity is more than just a cosmetic concern, though. It increases your risk of diseases and health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.
Being extremely obese means you are especially likely to have health problems related to your weight.

The good news is that even modest weight loss can improve or prevent the health problems associated with obesity. You can usually lose weight through dietary changes, increased physical activity and behavior changes. In some cases, prescription medications or weight-loss surgery may be options.

Symptoms:
Obesity is diagnosed when an individual's body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher. Your body mass index is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms (kg) by your height in meters (m) squared.

Complications:
If you're obese, you're more likely to develop a number of potentially serious health problems, including:
1. High cholesterol and triglycerides
2. Type 2 diabetes
3. High blood pressure
4. Metabolic syndrome — a combination of high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high triglycerides and high cholesterol
5. Heart disease
6. Stroke
7. Cancer, including cancer of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, breast, colon, rectum and prostate
8. Sleep apnea, a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts
9. Depression
10. Gallbladder disease
11. Gynecologic problems, such as infertility and irregular periods
12. Erectile dysfunction and sexual health issues, due to deposits of fat blocking or narrowing the arteries to the genitals
13. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a condition in which fat builds up in the liver and can cause inflammation or scarring
14. Osteoarthritis
15. Skin problems, such as poor wound healing
