OBESITY

As many suffer from too much as too little. A fat body makes a lean mind.
Christian Nestell Bovee


In 1997 the World Health Organization (WHO) formally recognized obesity as a global epidemic.

In Northern India obesity was most prevalent in urban populations (male = 5.5%, female = 12.6%), followed by the urban slums (male = 1.9%, female = 7.2%). Obesity rates were the lowest in rural populations (male = 1.6%, female = 3.8%) Socioeconomic class also had an effect on the rate of obesity. Women of high socioeconomic class had rates of 10.4% as opposed to 0.9% in women of low socioeconomic class With people moving into urban centers and wealth increasing, concerns about an obesity epidemic in India are growing.( Wikipedia,)
