BMI
However things are not so simple. If it were, obesity would not be a major health hazard globally.
Being overweight or obese increases your risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, breathing problems, arthritis, gallbladder disease, sleep apnea (breathing problems while sleeping), osteoarthritis, and some cancers. Adults with a
body mass index (BMI) of 25 or more are considered at risk for premature death and disability from being overweight or obese.
