If a person commits contempt of court, he or she may be fined up to $1,000, and/or may be sentenced to up to 30 days in jail. In some cases, the judge may decide to be lenient and imposed a reduced fine of $500 and a jail sentence of five days, though it is unwise to depend on this outcome.
A person with a BMI (body mass index) value of 40 or greater would also be considered morbidly obese. Grade 3 overweight (commonly called severe or morbid obesity) is a BMI greater than or equal to 40 kg/m2. Morbid obesity is a chronic disease that manifests as a steady, slow, progressive increase in body weight.
Morbid Obesity in Children and Teens. The root word of âmorbidâ means âdeathâ in Latin, and morbid obesity interferes with the basic functions of life, like breathing or walking. Morbid obesity is generally defined as being 100 lbs. over the ideal weight, or twice as much as ideal weight, or having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of more than 35 or 40. This kind of extra poundage facilitates life-shortening disease processes and can even lead to fatality.
