Topic: Obesity
Obesity means having too much body fat. It is different from being overweight, which means weighing too much. The weight may come from muscle, bone, fat, and/or body water. Both terms mean that a person's weight is greater than what's considered healthy for his or her height. AHRQ has research, tools and resources on obesity and how clinicians can help their obese patients.
