Overweight and obesity

Healthy habits

BMI is only directly applicable to adults. For people under 18 years of age, you must consult specific tables tailored to bodily changes that occur during growth.

Adults with a BMI over 25 should lose weight. The risk of disease increases when excess weight is associated with more risk factors, such as increased blood pressure, bad cholesterol, lower good cholesterol, increased blood triglycerides and physical inactivity.

To prevent and treat overweight, it is essential to adopt an active and healthy lifestyle.
