Obesity means having excess body fat. Adults 35 years of age and older with a BMI greater than 30 are obese.

Obesity in older people is a concern because excess weight increases the risk of certain health problems that tend to become more common as people age: diabetes, cancer, abnormal levels of fats (lipids) in the blood (dyslipidemia), high blood pressure, heart failure, coronary artery disease, and joint disorders.
