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.
