We Fight Obesity
- Obesity is a condition in which a person has too much body fat relative to their height.
- More than one-third of adults are affected by obesity, and nearly one-fifth of children in the United States.
- If not managed obesity leads to a myriad of serious health conditions, including, coronary artery disease, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver disease, arthritis of the knees and other joints, obstructive sleep apnea, and even fertility problems.
- Obese persons will also most likely require surgery to repair weight-related health conditions, such as hernia, worn joints, and narrowed blood vessels.
Things We Consider
Body Mass Index
To diagnose obesity, doctors with Weight Zero MD use a widely recognized formula called body mass index, or BMI. This is calculated based on a person’s height-to-weight ratio. For most people, BMI is a reliable indicator of body fat. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered healthy, whereas a BMI of 25 to 29.9 indicates that a person is overweight. People with a BMI of 30 or greater are obese. People who are seriously obese have a BMI of 40 or greater.
Fat Distribution/ Waist Circumference
Doctors at Weight Zero MD also measure waist circumference, which gives more information about a person’s risk of developing obesity-related health conditions. Research has shown that people who are “apple-shaped” and carry most of their body fat around the abdomen are at greater risk for conditions such as heart disease. This is because abdominal fat is thought to break down more easily into fatty acids, which increase the production of LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol, and triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood that contributes to heart disease. Abdominal fat can also cause insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar, to be less effective, which raises the risk of developing diabetes.If you receive a diagnosis of obesity, you and your doctor can come up with a weight loss goal and create an action plan for achieving it. If your doctor determines that other medical conditions may be contributing to weight gain, he or she can refer you to our specialists who can help.
