Obesity is a disease which brings with it a major threat to your long-term health. Indeed, if you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40+, you have only a 1 in 7 chance of a normal life-expectancy!
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of how much of your body is made up of fat. It relates your weight to your height. Your practice nurse can weigh and measure you and tell you your BMI. If your BMI is over 25, but below 30, you are 'overweight'. If it is 30 or above, you are 'obese'.
