Obesity is defined as a condition in which a person has excess body fat storage that alters or impairs a person’s health. It is more than a cosmetic concern. It's a medical condition that raises your risk of developing other diseases and health issues like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers.
World Health Organization uses body mass index, also known as BMI, to measure obesity. A person having a BMI of 30 or above is considered obese.
