Prevalence of Overweight/Obesity and Physical Activity (NIN Study)
Overweight/Obesity Vs Lifestyle practices (n:941) Laxmaiah et al 2007
Prevalence of Overweight in relation to activity score. • Prevalence of Overweight was higher in lower tertile of physical activity. Trend 2 = 45.6, P <0.001. % Overweight Tertiles of activity score Ramachandran et al 2002
Conclusion • Despite rapid progress in the area of food production, the intake of food and nutrients continues to be deficient, both in terms of quantity and quality • Prevalence of LBW is about 30%, and about 55% of preschool children are underweight and 50% are stunted. • Even though, the prevalence of undernutrition is significantly declining over a period of 3 decades, still the current prevalence is exceptionally high. • MNDs such as IDA VAD and IDD continues to be of public health problem.
Conclusion (Contd..) • The prevalence of overweight and obesity is significantly increasing over a period of 3 decades even among rural population, which is the major independent risk factor for metabolic syndrome. • Prevalence of overweight and obesity is considerably high, especially when Asian cut of levels were used (≥23 BMI). • India is passing through a critical phase i.e. ‘double burden of disease’. • One fourth of our rural adults are suffering from hypertension About 5-6% of the adults have IGT/DM.
