living with overweight or obesity

Only 68% of people living with obesity report good or very good sleep quality, compared to 75% of those with a normal BMI.

It's a health condition, not a willpower problem. The World Health Organization describes obesity as a chronic, relapsing disease with many causes.

Your weight can affect your whole health. A higher BMI is linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and other conditions - managing it lowers that risk.

Small steps add up. Managing weight is about more than a number on the scales - it's energy, sleep, confidence and long-term health.

Check your BMI

A simple guide to where you are

BMI (body mass index) is a quick way to check if your weight is in a healthy range for your height. It's the same measure your doctor and pharmacist use as a starting point.

Under 18.5 - below the healthy weight range
18.5 to 24.9 - healthy weight range
25 to 29.9 - overweight range
30 and above - obesity range

Ranges based on World Health Organization adult BMI categories. If you'd like to talk it through, your local participating pharmacy is a good place to start.
