A BMI over 30 indicates obesity, which risks health issues like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even early mortality. The rate of obesity is increasing due to diets high in fat and carbohydrates, larger portion sizes, and decreasing physical activity. Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, engaging in regular exercise, and getting adequate sleep.
