súlyfelesleg

Súlyfelesleg, often translated as overweight or excess weight, refers to a body mass index (BMI) that is higher than the recommended range for a person's height. BMI is a calculation that uses a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of their height in meters. While a useful screening tool, BMI does not account for body composition, such as muscle mass versus fat mass. Generally, a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight.

Súlyfelesleg is a common health concern globally and is often a precursor to obesity, which is defined by a BMI of 30 or higher. The development of súlyfelesleg is typically due to an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. This means consuming more calories than the body uses through daily activities and exercise. Factors contributing to this imbalance include dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, genetic predisposition, certain medical conditions, and some medications.

The health implications of súlyfelesleg can be significant. It increases the risk of developing a range of chronic diseases. These include type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease, certain types of cancer, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis. Managing súlyfelesleg often involves lifestyle changes focused on improving diet and increasing physical activity. Consulting with healthcare professionals can provide personalized guidance and support for weight management.
