Being overweight has a clear association with important health problems, and even modest weight loss has important health benefits, said Walter Willett, an expert on nutrition and health at the Harvard School of Public Health. To tell people it doesn't matter is really misleading. It does make a difference.
The degree to which a person is overweight is generally described by body mass index (BMI). Overweight is defined as a BMI of 25 or more, thus it includes pre-obesity defined as a BMI between 25 and 30 and obesity as defined by a BMI of 30 or more. Pre obese and overweight however are often used interchangeably thus giving overweight a common definition of a BMI of between 25 -30.
