September: Obesity Awareness Month

Health Risks of Obesity

Obesity is a complex health condition influenced by biological, environmental, social, and behavioral factors such as genetics, diet, physical activity, and stress.

Adults with obesity face higher risks for serious conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, certain cancers, and mental health challenges.

While Body Mass Index (BMI) is commonly used to measure obesity, it has limitations and should be paired with other health assessments.

Obesity affects nearly 1 in 3 adults in the U.S., with prevalence higher among certain racial, economic, and geographic groups. Addressing obesity requires coordinated efforts across individuals, families, communities, and policymakers.

What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?

A simple way to understand weight in relation to height

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple screening tool that compares your weight to your height to estimate body fat and potential health risks. Calculated using the formula weight (lbs) ÷ height (in)² × 703, BMI helps identify whether your weight falls into underweight, healthy, overweight, or obese ranges. While BMI doesn’t directly measure body fat or overall health, it can highlight possible risks for conditions like diabetes or heart disease. Doctors may use it alongside other assessments, like diet and lifestyle evaluations. Knowing your BMI can help you take preventive steps to support long-term health.

Ways to Evaluate Weight

Lifestyle tips for a healthier weight

Obesity is a growing health challenge in the U.S., contributing to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and some cancers. Achieving a healthier weight can improve overall well-being, lower health risks, and reduce costs for individuals and families. A steady weight loss of 1–2 pounds per week is most sustainable, often achieved through a balance of healthier eating, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and stress management. Tools such as BMI, body fat percentage, and waist measurements can help evaluate risk. Lasting success comes from gradual lifestyle changes, mindful eating, planning ahead, moving more, and seeking support.
