What is obesity and how can calculate this.
Obesity (Motapa, Fatness, overweight) is now very common among the peoples because they cannot take exercise daily and eat most fatty and cholesterol able food. In their body cholesterol increase and they became obesity and look fatty.Obesity: (Motapa, Fatness, overweight)
Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health. It is defined by body mass index (BMI) and further evaluated in terms of fat distribution via the waist hip ratio and total cardiovascular risk factors.BMI is closely related to both and total percentage body fat body fat.Now I think you clearly know about the obesity. Fatness will be control by diet and exercise and other healthy activities and taking part in sports games by daily Jim.
How can you calculate your obesity?
BMI is defined as the subject's mass divided by the square of their height, expressed kilograms per square meter and calculated as:
Table of BMI:
BMI | Classification |
< 18.5 | underweight |
18.5–24.9 | normal weight |
25.0–29.9 | overweight |
30.0–34.9 | class I obesity |
35.0–39.9 | class II obesity |
≥ 40.0 | class III obesity |
Effect on health or Disadvantages of obesity
Excessive body weight is associated with various Diseases like,
Ø Cardiovascular
Ø Diabetes mellitus type 2
Ø Obstructive sleep apnea
Ø Cancer
Ø Osteoarthritis
Ø Asthma
Mortality
Obesity is one of the leading preventable causes of death worldwide. Large-scale American and European studies have found that mortality risk is lowest at a BMI of 20–25 kg/m2 in non-smokers and at 24–27 kg/m2 in current smokers, with risk increasing along with changes in either direction. A BMI above 32 kg/m2 has been associated with a doubled mortality rate among women over a 16-year period. In the United States obesity is estimated to cause 111,909 to 365,000 deaths per year, while 1 million (7.7%) of deaths in Europe are attributed to excess weight. On average, obesity reduces life expectancy by six to seven years, a BMI of 30–35 kg/m2 reduces life expectancy by two to four years, while severe obesity (BMI > 40 kg/m2) reduces life expectancy by ten years.Morbidity
Main article: - Obesity associated morbidity
Obesity increases the risk of many physical and mental conditions. These commodities are most commonly shown in metabolic syndrome, a combination of medical disorders which includes: diabetes mellifluous type 2, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and high triglyceride levels.Complications are either directly caused by obesity or indirectly related through mechanisms sharing a common cause such as a poor diet or a sedentary lifestyle. The strength of the link between obesity and specific conditions varies. One of the strongest is the link with type 2 diabetes. Excess body fat underlies 64% of cases of diabetes in men and 77% of cases in women.
Health consequences fall into two broad categories: those attributable to the effects of increased fat mass (such as osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, social stigmatization) and those due to the increased number of fat cells (diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). Increases in body fat alter the body's response to insulin, potentially leading to insulin resistance. Increased fat also creates a pro inflammatory state, and a pro thrombotic state
