Epidemiology, risks and pathogenesis of obesity
Meat Science, 2005Obesity is operationally defined using a relationship of height and weight called the body mass index. Using this measure, more than 60% of Americans are overweight and over 30% are obese. To determine the importance of the body mass index, which would also label many athletes "overweight", we also need assessment of central fatness, and the medical ...
