Overweight and obesity

Being overweight or obese increases your risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, breathing problems, arthritis, gallbladder disease, sleep apnea breathing problems while sleeping, osteoarthritis and some cancers. Obesity is measured with а Body Mass Index BMI. BMI shows the relationship of weight to height. Women with а BMI of 25 to 29.9 are considered overweight, while women with а BMI of 30 or more are considered obese. All adults aged 18 years or older who have а BMI of 25 or more are considered at risk for premature death and disability from being overweight or obese.

These health risks increase as the BMI rises. Your health care provider can help you figure out your body mass or go to cdc. gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc-bmi. htm. Not only are health care providers concerned about how much fat а person has, but also where the fat is located on the body. Women with а pear shape tend to store fat in their hips and buttocks. Women with an apple shape store fat around their waists.

For most women, carrying extra weight around their waists or middle with а waist larger than 35 inches raises health risks like heart disease, diabetes, or cancer more than carrying extra weight around their hips or thighs. Fifty percent of adult African American women are obese. If you are overweight or obese, losing weight can lower your risk for many diseases. And physical activity is an important part of weight loss treatment. Try to be active 30 minutes most days of the week is best and eat better to help prevent and treat obesity.
