Explained in plain English
What is 'obese or overweight'?
These terms refer to having a Body Mass Index (BMI) above a healthy range. 'Overweight' is a BMI of 25-29.9, while 'obese' is 30 or higher. The Bradford trial is looking for people in these categories, as they are the ones who could benefit most from a weight loss intervention.
