Obesity

肥胖

Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. A crude population measure of obesity is the body mass index (BMI), a person’s weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of his or her height (in metres). A person with a BMI of 30 or more is generally considered obese. A person with a BMI equal to or more than 25 is considered overweight.

超重和肥胖的定义是可损害健康的异常或过量脂肪累积。身体质量指数（BMI）是衡量人们肥胖程度的粗略指数，具体算法是按公斤计算的体重除以按米计算的身高的平方。身体质量指数等于或大于30为肥胖。身体质量指数等于或大于25为超重。

Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Once considered a problem only in high income countries, overweight and obesity are now dramatically on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings.

超重和肥胖是包括糖尿病、心血管疾病和癌症在内的若干慢性病的主要风险因素。超重和肥胖问题一度被视为仅限于高收入国家，如今在低收入和中等收入国家，尤其是城市环境中，呈急剧上升的趋势。
