Overweight refers to
an excess of body weight compared to set standards. The excess weight may come
from muscle, bone, fat, and/or body water. Obesity refers specifically to having
an abnormally high proportion of body fat.[1] A person can be overweight without
being obese, as in the example of a bodybuilder or other athlete who has a lot
of muscle. However, many people who are overweight are typically obese. |
