    Glossary Obesity

    excessive body fat accumulation increasing health risks

    Obesity is a medical condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat, typically defined by a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. It is associated with an increased risk of various health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Obesity results from a combination of genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors, and it often requires a multifaceted approach for effective management, including diet, exercise, and sometimes medical or surgical interventions.
