If you're overweight, losing weight has many health benefits. People who are overweight have higher risk of:
- heart disease
- stroke
- type 2 diabetes
- some types of cancer
- arthritis
- back pain
Being underweight isn't good for your health either.
If you are concerned about yourself or someone else, or you want to find out whether you are a healthy weight visit the Body Mass Index BMI on the NHS website.
