being obease can be deadly although in some cases it isn't the persons fault (for instance a person with type 1 diabetes).

Being obease can sometimes cause breathing problems and can sometimes lead to a heart attack.

I think you know the answer to this one. From this website http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/growthcharts/boystwoyears.gif you are in the tallest 5% of the population and you could quite reasonably weigh 15 stones (210 pounds) but you actually weigh over 17 stones (241 pounds). Even of you do a lot of weight training this seems excessive. You need to lose about 2 stones (28 pounds) For comparison the WBC heavyweight boxing champion is 6'2 1/2 and weighs 236 and the IBF champion is 6'1 and weighs 210.

Generally you live with it by continuing to do what you were doing before. Sometimes trying to work on it, other times not so much. But your desires change and you do less and less moving around and more and more sitting around.

Obesity and high BMIs (height to weight ratio) are associated with increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, some cancers and heart problems.

The extra load imposed by obesity on liver, kidneys, endocrine system and the cardiovascular system can lead to many and diverse disorders of middle to high importance.

u can get a heart attack

There are many emotions that can go along with being overweight or obese. While some people are able to embrace their size and love them selves, many cannot. These people are often targets of hurtful words, especially children who are teased. Media often negatively portrays people who are overweight or obese. This can lead to low self-esteem, low sense of self-worth, and - more seriously - depression and isolation. Many people do "emotionally" or "comfort" eat, meaning that they consume food when they feel upset or angry or any other specific emotion. Food triggers an immediate happiness, but this does not last long and this is an unhealthy way to cope with emotions.

One becomes morbidly obese by chronically ingesting more than one metabolizes. There are genetic syndromes where one can be morbidly obese. These include Prader Willi syndrome and Bardet Biedl Syndrome, Cohen syndrome, others.

Well it really depends....If the person is really obese and unhealthy than he could have heart failure. Also, being anorexic can cause you to get dehydrated or really hungry (starved)

WHO THINKS UP THESE QUESTIONS??

Women whose body fat exceeds 30% and men whose body fat exceeds 25% are generally considered obese.

Statistically speaking, approximately 50% of the population will be of below-average intelligence.

There isn't really a certain point of "Overweight". Or fat. It has alot to do with your height, your build, your gender, and your age. For example, a Man who is 46 and is 5"11 who weighs 170 and has a normal build can be healthy or underweight where as a Girl who is 12 and is 5"1 who weighs the same and is also normal can be at risk of some health problems. It all depeneds on stuff, But if you want a direct awnser i'd say if your a man, 200lbs is over weight if your a girl, 130 is overweight.

Currently the dieting industry is worth 40-100 billion dollars.

Without knowing your height, it would be impossible to tell. If you are, say, 5' 8" to 5' 11", you are not obese. If you happen to be 5' 2", then you might have a problem. ---- For further information, please see the related page link, further down this page, listed under "Related Questions."

Obesity has become a really big problem, Globally 1 billion people are over weight and 300 million of them are considered obese. and out of that 300 million 300,000 of them will die that year. That includes someone dieing from a diseases they got from being obese

Reports of the heaviest people give the following information about the top 5 on record:

A female who was 5'7" weighed 1600 pounds before she died in her thirties.

Her BMI was an incredible 250.6 (morbid obesity is defined in the International Classification of Diseases as a BMI > 39), although it was probable that much of her weight (up to 800#, was fluids not fat, which is not uncommon in bariatric patients).

A male who was 6'1" weighed 1400 pounds. (It was determined that approximately 900 # of his weight was likely fluid accumulation)

BMI = 184.7.

A female at 5'6" weighed 1200 pounds, was measured to be 8 ft. wide and ate a daily diet of 15,000 calories.

BMI = 193.7

A male, who had weighed 154 pounds at age 7, and who had a mother who was 700 pounds, weighed 1200 pounds. (height unavailable for BMI calculation)

A male 5'10" weighed 1197 pounds.

BMI = 171.7

A poor diet means to not have healthy food such as carrots and apples it mean to eat things like chips and cakes and other stuff you should not be having every single night for diner

Eat the proper foods by following along with the food pyramid - eat fruits and veggies daily (if they don't like them now, they will later) and just exercise.

Limit the sweets (i.e. ice cream, candy) and especially limit the amount of time they spend on TV or video games or their computers.

But have fun with them while doing this - they may get physically healthier, but forcing it on them just hurts them mentally.

Pregnancy and the onset of your period will cause these same symptoms if you miss your period then i woukd get a hpt .

A person of any age (excluding the very young) can be obese.
