Having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more is considered to be clinically obese. The body mass index (BMI) calculates how much heavier or thinner someone is based on their specific dimensions. Being classified as morbidly obese, also known as "clinically severe obesity," usually requires a body mass index of 40 or greater.

Obesity is linked to a wide range of serious health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain types of cancer, and many more.
Obesity can be avoided, like many other chronic diseases, by leading a healthy lifestyle, which includes regular exercise, a nutritious diet, enough rest, and avoiding unhealthy foods and drinks.
