Obesity: a chronic, relapsing, multifactorial, neurobehavioral disease, wherein an increase in body fat promotes adipose tissue dysfunction and abnormal fat mass physical forces, resulting in adverse metabolic, biomechanical, and psychosocial health consequences. There are a number of methods to quantitatively define and categorize obesity, such as body mass index, abdominal circumference, and body fat percentage.
