Overweight is generally having more body weight than is optimally healthy. However, as this weight may come from muscle, bone, fat and/or body water, it is not necessarily a too bad a thing if it is not extreme. For example, a number of athletes are overweight, but have little body fat and generally considered to be healthy.
when a person has a large amount of body fat, they are considered to be obese. Obesity is an imbalance between excessive calorie intake and deficient calorie expenditure. Men with more than 25% body fat and women with more than 30% body fat are considered obese. This excess fat may have adverse effect on health, such as impairment to movement and flexibility. Obesity can also lead to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, asthma, stroke, arthritis, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, coronary-heart diseases and certain cancers..
