which term do you need? "mildly off colour with obese/adipose dietary condition" maybe?

moderately reduced general condition and adipose nutritional status

There are two things going on here - the general condition and the nutritional status. Both are commonly reported on in medical records.

significant decline of general well-being and adiposis

For purpose of completeness I can give full example of this sentence:
In accordance with medical examination results 59 year old patient has a significant decline of general well-being and adiposis
Peer comment(s):

disagree Steffen Walter : "Mäßig" corresponds to "moderate", and is thus not equivalent to a "significant decline".

59 year old female in bellow-average general health and adipose nutritional status

Another option.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Harald Moelzer (medical-translator) : Sorry but "reduced performance status" is standard terminology, while I never before heard of "below-average general health"...e.g. see: http://www.nature.com/bjc/journal/v87/n3/full/6600466a.html

moderately diminished general health, obese

For AE medical reports, the general terminology is general health, it can be normal, diminished (moderately or severe), or poor. The nutritional status can be normal, overweight or obese. I have copies many reports issued by American physicians and all of them use "general health". The term performance status would most likely be similar to the German term "Leistungsfähigkeit" and would require a more substantial assessment based on the Karnovsky index. I know you've already chosen an answer, but wanted to post this information anyway.
