Introduction �What is the definition of obesity? Obesity according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is, “Weight that is higher than what is considered as a healthy weight for a given height is described as overweight or obese” (p 1). To determine whether you are obese related to your height and weight you will use a Body Mass Index calculator. According to the CDC, “Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. A high BMI can be an indicator of high body fatness. BMI can be used as a screening tool but is not diagnostic of the body fatness or health of an individual” (p 1). CDC, 2015.
