June 25, 2013, ST. LOUIS – The American Medical Association recently classified obesity a disease. Experts hope the new definition will help in the fight against Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, which are linked to obesity.

Michael Lim, MD, co-director of the Center for Comprehensive Cardiovascular Care (C4) at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital and a SLUCare cardiologist talked about it with FOX2′s John Pertzborn.

If this is a medical emergency, call 911 right away.
