BMI of 25 -30[edit]

Effects on health Excessive body weight is associated with various diseases and conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type 2, Non-alcoholic Fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more severe form Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, osteoarthritis,[2] and asthma.[2][30] As a result, obesity has been found to reduce life expectancy.[2]" PascalineClerc (talk) 18:04, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
Not done: @PascalineClerc: So for your change you wanted to change "diabetes mellitus type 2, obstructive sleep apnea," to "diabetes mellitus type 2, Non-alcoholic Fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more severe form Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), obstructive sleep apnea," while leaving everything else the same? If I'm understanding your request correctly. Also to include "Non-alcoholic Fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more severe form Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)" as part of the edit request you should provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 10:38, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

"Please change In 1997 the WHO formally recognized obesity as a global epidemic.[94] As of 2008 the WHO estimates that at least 500 million adults (greater than 10%) are obese, with higher rates among women than men.[186] The percentage of adults affected in the United States as of 2015–2016 is about 39.6% overall (37.9% of males and 41.1% of females).[187]
The rate of obesity also increases with age at least up to 50 or 60 years old[188]and severe obesity in the United States, Australia, and Canada is increasing faster than the overall rate of obesity.[29][189][190]

The rate of obesity also increases with age at least up to 50 or 60 years old[188]and severe obesity in the United States, Australia, and Canada is increasing faster than the overall rate of obesity.[29][189][190] " PascalineClerc (talk) 18:06, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
Done @PascalineClerc: I went ahead and made the change and slightly modified the wording here. When you make a request like this I suggest using the following format: Please add the following sentence The OECD has projected an an increase in obesity rates until at least 2030, especially in the United States, Mexico and England with rates reaching 47%, 39% and 35% respectively.[1] after this sentence The rate of obesity also increases with age at least up to 50 or 60 years old and severe obesity in the United States, Australia, and Canada is increasing faster than the overall rate of obesity. This will make future requests a bit clearer to understand. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 11:00, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Health consequences fall into two broad categories: those attributable to the effects of increased fat mass (such as osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, social stigmatization) and those due to the increased number of fat cells (diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).[2][49] Increases in body fat alter the body's response to insulin, potentially leading to insulin resistance. Increased fat also creates a proinflammatory state,[50][51] and a prothromboticstate.[49][52]

I would like to update a map at Reference #187. This map is very helpful for readers but the data is a bit old. In addition, many countries' data is missing from the maps. I have been able to create a new map for the year of 2016 with better mapping format.
