Obesity can contribute to many related diseases – also known as “comorbidities”.

The risks of having multiple co-morbidities, or diseases are greatly increased when living with obesity. Long term obesity can also result in increased mortality, or lower life expectancy. Obesity is classified as having a BMI 30 and higher, with a normal weight classification being a BMI between 18.5 – 24.9.
