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.
Childhood obesity is a condition where excess body fat negatively affects a child's health or well-being. As methods to determine body fat directly are difficult, the diagnosis of obesity is often based on BMI. Due to the rising prevalence of obesity in children and its many adverse health effects it is being recognized as a serious public health concern.
