OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY
Overweight and obesity are both labels for ranges
of weight that are greater than what is generally
considered healthy for a given height.
The two surveys also show increases in overweight
among children and teens. For children aged 2–5
years, the prevalence of overweight increased from
5.0% to 13.9%; for those aged 6–11 years,
prevalence increased from 6.5% to 18.8%; and for
those aged 12–19 years, prevalence increased from
5.0% to 17.4%.
Definitions for Adults
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.
An adult who has a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is
considered overweight.
An adult who has a BMI of 30 or higher is
considered obese.
Height Weight Range BMI Considered

124 lbs or less Below 18.5 Underweight

125 lbs to 168

18.5 to 24.9 Healthy weight

5’ 9”
169 lbs to 202

Overweight and obesity result from an
energy imbalance. This involves eating
too many calories and not getting enough
physical activity.
Body weight is the result of genes,
metabolism, behavior, environment, culture,
and socioeconomic status.
Behavior and environment play a large role
causing people to be overweight and obese.
These are the greatest areas for prevention
and treatment actions.
Energy imbalance - When the number of calories
consumed is not equal to the number of calories used.
Weight Gain:
Calories Consumed > Calories Used
Weight Loss:
Calories Consumed < Calories Used
No Weight Change:
Calories Consumed = Calories Used

Energy Balance is like a scale. Weight gain occurs when

calories consumed are greater than calories used.
To calculate your frame type place your thumb and index
finger around your wrist. If your finger overlaps the thumb,
your frame is a "Small Frame". If they touch, your frame is
a "Medium Frame". If they do not touch, your frame is a
"Large Frame".
Being underweight or overweight are recognized risk
factors for many diseases, namely hypertension, diabetes,
hyperlipidemias, and perhaps certain types of cancers.
Remember, these are statistical averages and not
absolutes. If you are very muscular, the chart will be
inaccurate for you.

Environment
People may make decisions based on their environment or
community. For example, a person may choose not to walk
to the store or to work because of a lack of sidewalks.
Communities, homes, and workplaces can all influence
people's health decisions. Because of this influence, it is
important to create environments in these locations that
make it easier to engage in physical activity and to eat a
healthy diet. The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to
Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity 2001
identified action steps for several locations that may help
prevent and decrease obesity and overweight. The
following table provides some examples of these steps.
 Location Steps to Help Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity
Home •Reduce time spent watching television and in other sedentary behaviors
•Build physical activity into regular routines, like basket ball, badminton, joining
clubs for aerobics, swimming, skating, yoga, gyming and even adults must play
some outdoor game at least weekly and I would ask mothers also to participate
Schools
•Ensure that the school breakfast and lunch programs meet nutrition standards
•Provide food options that are low in fat, calories, and added sugars
•Provide all children, from prekindergarten through grade 12, with quality daily
physical education.
Work
•Create more opportunities for physical activity at work sites
Community
•Promote healthier choices including at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a
day, and reasonable portion sizes
Encourage the food industry to provide reasonable food and beverage portion
sizes
Encourage food outlets to increase the availability of low-calorie, nutritious food
items
Create opportunities for physical activity in communities
