Condition of being overweight (generally, 20%
or more above the desirable weight for one's
sex, build, and height). Obesity increases
susceptibility to disease, strains the vital
organs, and lessens life expectancy; it is
remedied by healthy diet and exercise, unless
caused by systemic (glandular) problems.
