Morbid obesity refers to people that are so overweight that they may have medical problems due to being overweight. A person is said to be morbidly obese if their BMI-body mass index is greater than 35, and they are 75-100 lbs. overweight. People who are morbidly obese are at risk for hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and other medical problems.
