DEFINITION
OVERWEIGHT is more precise and designates a
state between normal weight and obesity.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) now defines
overweight in terms of the BMI which is a person's weight in kilograms (kg) divided by their height in
meters (m)squared.
Since the BMI describes the body weight relative to
height, it correlates strongly (in adults) with the
total body fat content.Ferreira, Aparecido Pimentel, Oliveira, Carlos E. R., & França, Nancí Maria. (2007).
CONSEQUENCES Overweight and obesity in adulthood is associated with many serious physiological, psychological, and social consequences, as listed below. Given these health and social consequences, it should not be surprising that obesity has serious economic consequences as well. The annual medical costs alone have been estimated as high as $190 billion (in 2005 dollars) – 21 percent of all medical spending (Cawley & Meyerhoefer, 2011).
