1. OBESITY

2. OBESITY
• A medical condition in which excess body fat
has accumulated to the extent that it may
have an adverse effect on health, leading to
reduced life expectancy and/or increased
health problems. People are considered as
obese when their body mass index (BMI)
exceeds 30 kg/m2.

3. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
• Excess body fat
• An extremely large waistline
• Difficulty sleeping
• Heavy sweating
• Lack of energy
• Pain and soreness in your joints or muscles
• Rashes
• Varicose veins

7. DENTAL CORRELATION
• Obesity is also associated with oral
diseases, particularly periodontal disease, and
prospective studies suggest that periodontitis may
be related to cardiovascular disease. The possible
causal relationship between obesity and
periodontitis and potential underlying biological
mechanisms remain to be established.

9. CLASSIFICATION
• Obesity is multifactorial, with
genetic, neurologic, behavioral, and
occasionally endocrinologic disorders playing
a role.
