A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obesity: Everyone is different. Some obese people won't develop any medical problems (though rare) and others will develop a lot of medical problems when they are only slightly overweight. The environment, genetics, race, gender, etc. There are a lot of factors. But the bottom line is, everyone is different.
