By: Burns, Jo

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This guide explains how body fat percentage, body mass index and waist-hip ration are used to calculate obesity. It also describes the causes of obesity including genetics, diet and the social determinants of obesity and lists some of the diseases that are caused by or linked to obesity such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea.
