Obese: BMI of 30 and above (Wu 86). Just like being overweight, main causes are improper diet, sedentary lifestyle, genes, or illnesses, can pose serious health risks and increase the risk of developing chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular problems (Jain and Arterburn “What Works for Obesity?”), or could suffer from grave social discrimination (Olmsted and McFarlane “Body Weight and Body Image”).
