Summary
Details

"The word 'obese' originated from the Latin language ""obesus"" meaning ""to grow fat

by eating"" which is derived from the past participle of the verb 'obedere' (ob-away;

edere-to eat) "" to eat away"". Obesity, a body-weight disorder was generally defined as

an accumulation of fat beyond that considered normal, for a person's age, weight, sex

and body type. Over the years the definition of obesity has undergone several

changes. Initially, obesity was considered to be present when a subject was 30% or

more above his ideal weight (Silverstone, 1968) and later Wenar (1994) defined it

simplistically as excess body weight or more specifically as body weight greater than

20% of normal weight for height.1,2 Obesity as a pathologic condition, characterized

by an accumulation of fat much in excess of that is necessary for optimal body

functions."
