Nadwag

Nadwag is not widely recognized as a distinct term in major reference works. In many contexts it appears as a misspelling or variant of the Polish word nadwaga, which means overweight, or as a fictional or brand-like name in certain contexts. There is no standard definition or widely accepted usage for "Nadwag" as a standalone concept.

If interpreted as nadwaga, the word denotes excess body weight. In medical terms, overweight is defined by a body mass index (BMI) of 25 to 29.9; obesity is a BMI of 30 or higher. Overweight and obesity are associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and musculoskeletal problems. Management typically involves dietary changes, physical activity, behavioral strategies, and, when appropriate, medical treatment or surgery under professional guidance.

Etymology: in Polish, nad- is a prefix meaning over, while waga means weight; together they form nadwaga, literally “overweight.” The form "Nadwag" is not standard in Polish and is more likely to be encountered as a misspelling or as a proper noun in fictional or branding contexts.
