Obesity is a disease. Yeah, I know. Believe it or not. It is true. I didn't said that. It come from American Medical Association(AMA). According Jacque (2013), the American Medical Association has adopted a new policy that officially labels obesity as a disease "requiring a range of medical interventions to advance obesity treatment and prevention" according to an AMA statement.
Obesity for adults is defined as having a body mass index, or BMI or 30 or higher. BMI is a way to measure body fat based on your weight and height. Being obese increases your risk factor for developing many serious conditions, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stoke, liver disease, sleep apnea and osteoarthritis. In fact, obesity has been linked to almost every chronic disease in some way or another. (Jacque, 2013).
