According to the latest data from the CDC in 2020, the prevalence of obesity among U.S. adults is a concerning 4 in 10. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System reports that 16 states now have adult obesity rates exceeding 35%, with middle-aged adults and seniors being the most affected.
Determining whether someone is considered "obese" depends on various factors like age and height. The widely used method among healthcare professionals to define obesity is the body mass index (BMI). BMI is calculated by dividing an individual's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. The CDC provides the following categories for interpreting adult BMI:
  • <18.5 = underweight
  • 18.5 to <25.0 = healthy weight
  • 25.0 to <30 = overweight
  • 30.0 or higher = obesity
In addition to excess body fat, individuals with obesity may experience a range of symptoms, including sudden breathlessness, increased sweating, snoring/sleep apnea, difficulty coping with physical activity, extreme fatigue, and back and joint pain. Obesity is also associated with several secondary conditions, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, gallstones, and gallbladder disease.
