BMI 30+

Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater. BMI is calculated from a person’s weight and height and provides a reasonable indicator of body fatness and weight categories that may lead to health problems. Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer, and type 2 diabetes.

leveling off in obesity among women

"Since 1999, there appears to have been a leveling off in obesity among women, but the trend is less clear among men.
