helthfitness.tk- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about six out of 10 Americans were either overweight or obese. Furthermore, the prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically in recent decades. One in 50 people is now severely obese.
A BMI of 25 or more is considered overweight and one of 30 or more reflects obesity. Having a BMI of 40 or greater is equivalent to having approximately 100 extra pounds of fat.
