How common is obesity
0 commentsHow common is obesity and what exactly does that term mean? Obesity affects between 5% and 10% of the population. Obesity means that a person is at least 20% or more above their ideal body weight. People within this category may have higher appropriate biologically determined set points that make it extremely difficult for them to stay within an average weight range. It should also be noted that certain endocrine disorders and genetic illnesses could lead to obesity.
