Thinner isn鈥檛 always better. A number of studies have
1
that normal-weight people
are in fact at higher risk of some diseases compared to those who are overweight. And there are
health conditions for which being overweight is actually
2
. For example, heavier women
are less likely to develop calcium deficiency than thin women.
3
among the elderly, being
somewhat overweight is often an
4
of good health.
Of even greater
5
is the fact that obesity turns out to be very difficult to define. It is
often
defined
6
body
mass
index,
or
BMI.
BMI
7
body
mass
divided
by
the
square
of
height.
An
adult
with
a
BMI
of
18
to
25
is
often
considered
to
be
normal
weight.
Between
25
and
30
is
overweight.
And
over
30
is
considered
obese. Obesity,
8
, can be
divided into moderately obese, severely obese, and very severely obese.
While
such
numerical
standards
seem
9
,
they
are
not.
Obesity
is
probably
less
a
matter
of
weight
than
body
fat.
Some
people
with
a
high
BMI
are
in
fact
extremely
fit,
10
others with a low BMI may be in poor
11
. For example, many collegiate and professional
football
players
12
as
obese,
though
their
percentage
body
fat
is
low.
Conversely,
someone with a small frame may have high body fat but a
13
BMI.
Today
we
have
a(an)
14
to
label
obesity
as
a
disgrace.
The
overweight
are
sometimes
15
in
the
media
with
their
faces
covered.
Stereotypes
16
with
obesity include laziness, lack of will power, and lower prospects for success. Teachers, employers,
and
health
professionals
have
been
shown
to
harbor
biases
against
the
obese.
17
very
young children tend to look down on the overweight, and teasing about body build has long been a
problem in schools.
Negative attitudes toward obesity,
18
in health concerns, have stimulated a number
of anti-obesity
19
. My own hospital system has banned sugary drinks from its facilities.
Many employers have instituted weight loss and fitness initiatives. Michelle Obama launched a
high-visibility
campaign
20
childhood
obesity,
even
claiming
that
it
represents
our
greatest national security threat.
