Feedback:
Clients who are obese are at a higher risk of developing an exaggerated curvature of the lumbar spine (lordosis) because of the excess abdominal weight that distorts the person's center of gravity. Clients who are obese are usually suggested to decrease their total calorie intake by at least 30, and not just 5. Obesity is rarely caused by slow thyroid function. Obesity is rarely related to underlying causes (<5).
