Obesity as a Health Concern
Captions available
The idea
Obesity is a condition of excess body fat associated with elevated risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
In practice
Risk rises across populations while individual health outcomes vary widely at any given body composition.
Where people slip
Obesity is not a behavior or a character measure. Genetic, metabolic, and environmental factors all contribute.
