Adults who are Overweight (Clinic A)

Measurement Period: 2017-2019
This indicator shows the percentage of patients aged 18 and older with a Body Mass Index (BMI) >=25 < 30 in the reporting period. A BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight.

Why is this important?

The percentage of overweight adults is an indicator of the overall health and lifestyle of a community. Being overweight affects quality of life and puts individuals at risk for developing many diseases, especially heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Losing weight helps to prevent and control these diseases. Being overweight also carries significant economic costs due to increased healthcare spending and lost earnings.
