What is obesity? How to prevent obesity?

Many times people tend to ignore obesity, because many people don't think obesity is a disease, but in fact, when a person is fat to a certain extent, he may be an obese patient, but most people don't know much about obesity. So what is obesity? How to prevent obesity?

1, what is obesity?

Obesity is an overnutrition disease. Because of excessive fat storage, the body weight exceeds 20% of normal. There are two kinds of obesity: simple obesity and secondary obesity.

Bodymassindex (BMI) is the square of weight (kg) divided by height (m), which is an index to evaluate the degree of obesity. Obesity is defined as a body mass index [body mass index = weight (kg)/height (m) 2] greater than 30.

If there is no obvious cause, it is called simple obesity; Those with definite causes are called secondary obesity.

Obesity will shorten people's life span. The mortality rate of obese men is 1.5 times that of normal people, and that of women is 1.47 times. Obesity mainly harms people's health from two aspects. On the one hand, it will cause physical and mental obstacles, especially for young people. Their ugly appearance and inconvenience in life make them feel inferior, anxious and depressed. On the other hand, it is closely related to many diseases that threaten health. Data show that obesity is an important risk factor for type II diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, gallstones and cancer. In addition, obesity can also lead to endocrine and metabolic disorders. The incidence of diabetes in obese patients is significantly higher than that in non-obese patients. The incidence can be increased by 10 times. The incidence of malignant tumor is high in obese people, and the incidence of colon cancer, rectal cancer and prostate cancer in obese men is high. Endometrial cancer in female patients is 23 times higher than that in normal women. In addition, obesity is easy to increase skin fragility, dermatitis and abrasions, and it is easy to be complicated with suppuration or fungal infection. Nowadays, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia have been regarded as death quartets.
