    Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a detrimental effect on health, resulting in reduced life expectancy, while increasing health problems on a grand scale. Approximately 1 out of every 3 adults in the United States are obese or overweight. Obesity is defined by ones body mass index, or BMI. A measurement that compares someones height to their weight, is how we can accurately determine whether or not someone is obese.
