Morbid Obesity- What is it?
  • The term morbid obesity refers to patients who
    are 50-100, or 100 pounds, above their ideal
    body weight. Alternatively, a body mass index
    (BMI) value greater than 39 may be used to
    diagnose morbid obesity.
  • BMI ( Weight in Pounds x 703)
  • (Height in inches x Height in inches)

Facts about Morbid Obesity
  • A chronic disease that afflicts approximately 9
    million adult Americans.
  • That is over twice the size of the total
    population with Alzheimers disease.
  • If the entire morbidly obese population lived in
    one state, it would be the 12th state in
    population.
  • The health effects associated with morbid obesity
    are numerous and can be disabling.
