What is Obesity?

What is Obesity?

The obesity is defined as an increase in body weight with 20% over ideal weight. It is expressed by the value of BMI  (Body Mass Index) .  BMI is defined as the individual's body mass divided by the square of his or her height.

Obesity is one of most serious problems of society today. The statistics are very alarming: one of four women are obese or overweight, and two of three women have problems with weight or less.

This disease can be a warning to us all. To stop the disease, many people make different operations to decrease your stomach to stop eating so much, and get to lose weight. I don't know if it is good or bad to make , but I think that the best thing is to prevent the obesity.

There are many different surgical procedures, but the the most frequently used world-wide are: Morbid Obesity.  More information you can find to : Treatment of Morbid Obesity
