Obesity increases the risk of various diseases. Such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and so on.

The normal range of adult body fat rate is 20% ~ 25% for women and 15% ~ 18% for men. If the body fat rate is too high and the weight exceeds 20% of the normal value, it can be regarded as obesity. The body fat rate of athletes can be determined according to sports events. The average of male athletes is 7% ~ 15%, and the average of female athletes is 12%-25%.
Diet therapy and exercise therapy should be used at the same time to reduce calorie intake and increase calorie consumption through exercise to achieve the effect of losing weight.
