Mortality

Obesity is one of the leading preventable causes of death worldwide. A number of reviews have found that mortality risk is lowest at a BMI of 20–25 kg/m2 in non-smokers and at 24–27 kg/m2 in current smokers, with risk increasing along with changes in either direction.

Morbidity

Morbidity, a diseased state, disability, or poor health. Mortality rate, a measure of the number of deaths in a given population.
