How to use "Gibbosity" in context?
Gibbosity, more commonly known as obesity, is a medical condition affecting the body's ability to regulate its own temperature. That is, obesity increases the body's surface area, and so it takes more time for the body to cool off. As a result, obesity may lead to increases in body temperature, which can include fever, blotchy rash, swollen lymph nodes, and headaches.
Diagnosis of gibbosity is often based on the patient's history and physical examination. X-rays may also be used to determine the extent and severity of the obesity.
