 WHAT IS OBESITY?

• Obesity is a medical condition characterized by an excessive amount of body fat, which puts an
individual's health at risk. Obesity is generally determined by measuring a person's body mass index
(BMI), which is calculated using their weight and height. A BMI of 30 or above is considered obese.
 WHAT CAN OBESITY CAUSE?

• Obesity can lead to several health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure,
stroke, sleep apnea, and some types of cancer. Factors that can contribute to obesity include a genetic
predisposition, lack of physical activity, unhealthy diet, hormonal imbalances, and certain medical
conditions or medications
 HOW SERIOUS IS OBESITY

• Obesity is a serious medical condition that can have significant health consequences. It increases the risk
of developing several chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure,
stroke, liver disease, sleep apnea, and some types of cancer. Obesity can also increase the risk of

their self-esteem. 4. Prescription medication: Your healthcare provider can prescribe medication to aid in
