Overweight and obesity are labels for weight ranges that are greater than what is generally considered healthy for a given height. These terms also identify ranges of weight that have been shown to increase the likelihood of certain diseases and other health problems.
For adults, overweight and obesity ranges are determined by using weight and height to calculate a number called the “body mass index” (BMI). BMI is used because, for most people, it correlates with their amount of body fat.
The reasons for being overweight or obese are multifactorial and may include genetics, environmental influences, behaviour (caloric intake and physical activity) and metabolism.
A comprehensive and integrated solution that takes all of these factors into account is the best approach.
We provide a comprehensive solution to weight management which includes counseling on nutritional, behavioural and procedural solutions and working together to determine what is best approach for you.
