Last week, the American Medical Association voted to classify obesity as a disease. In one day, 78 million American adults and 12 million American children were deemed to have a medical condition that needs treatment.The decision was controversial to say the least.n some ways, cataloging obesity as a disease is a way of conferring legitimacy: it is a condition, not a lapse in willpower; it warrants medical attention; it is worthy of insurance coverage. All of that is positive.
Obesity is frequently subdivided into categories: 1  Class 1: BMI of 30 to < 35. 2  Class 2: BMI of 35 to < 40. 3  Class 3: BMI of 40 or higher. Class 3 obesity is sometimes categorized as âextremeâ or âsevereâ obesity. Note: At an individual level, BMI can be used as a screening tool but is not diagnostic of the body fatness or the health of an individual.
