Background
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic. There are more than 350 million obese individuals worldwide. The NIH report released in June Clinical Guidelines on the Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults defines a body-mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater as obese and one of 25-30 as worthy of concern. Calculate your BMI.
Obesity is associated with such health problems as diabetes, gallstones, hypertension, and heart disease. Obesity is also linked to colorectal cancer and to breast, uterine and ovarian cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.
