Abstract

Obesity is considered as an important preventable disease of public health concern and ranked as the fifth foremost cause for death globally. Obesity is defined as an “abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health,” further clarifying that “the fundamental cause of obesity and overweight is an energy imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended” (World Health Organization). Obesity can leads to numerous chronic diseases, including cancers, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, asthma, hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular diseases. Early diagnosis of obesity is crucial for preventing the diseases associated with obesity. Thorough knowledge on the methods available for measuring Obesity is required for proper Obesity diagnosis. This review gives an idea regarding obesity and its classification which helps in early predictions of obesity and the risk of overweight thereby the associated disorders or diseases can be prevented.
