Being overweight can cause a rise in total cholesterol levels and blood pressure, and increase the risk of coronary artery disease. Obesity increases the chances of other cardiovascular risk factors, especially high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

A measure of obesity is determined by the body mass index (BMI), which is calculated by dividing the kilograms of weight by the square of the height in meters (BMI = weight [kg] / height [m2]). According to the United States National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), being overweight is defined as a BMI of more than 25. A person is considered obese if their BMI is greater than 30.
