Obesity is typically defined as a substantial accumulation of [[body fat]] that could impact health. Medical organizations tend to classify people as obese based on [[body mass index]] (BMI) – a ratio of a person's weight in [[kilogram]]s to the [[Square (algebra)|square]] of their height in [[meter]]s. For adults, the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) defines "[[overweight]]" as a BMI 25 or higher, and "obese" as a BMI 30 or higher. The U.S. [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC) further subdivides obesity based on BMI, with a BMI 30 to 35 called class 1 obesity; 35 to 40, class 2 obesity; and 40+, class 3 obesity.
