The harm of obesity

What is obesity?

When the energy provided by the food and drinks you consume far exceeds what your body needs for metabolism and basic physiological exercise, your weight will gain and lead to obesity. According to an authoritative survey report, 22.4% of people are overweight in China, and 3.01% of people are extremely obese.

Most people view obesity from the perspective of aesthetic appearance, but obesity definitely brings people more than just aesthetic appearance. Modern medicine has proved that many diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and cerebrovascular accidents, are often caused by obesity caused by poor eating habits and poor lifestyles.

Therefore, in addition to affecting physical appearance and causing self-confidence problems, obesity is also more harmful to causing serious physical health problems and posing a serious threat to people's health.

Extremely severe obesity or morbidly obese

When obesity reaches a certain level and the risk of one or more obesity-related health problems or serious diseases continues to rise significantly, leading to serious physical disorders or even death, we call it extremely severe obesity, or morbid obesity.

Relevant experts from the Obesity Research Society of China Society of Health Science and Technology pointed out that obesity has scientific standards, and the calculation formula for standard weight is: (height-100) ×0.9= standard weight (KG). Generally, more than 10% of body weight is normal, more than 20% is mild obesity, more than 30%-50% is moderate obesity, and more than 50% is severe obesity.
