Abstract
Background: Obesity in young adults has risen to significant levels globally with serious public health consequences. In addition to cardiovascular, emotional and social issues, it poses a serious hazard to the basic health care delivery system. Unless this epidemic is contained at a war footing, the implications of this global phenomenon on future generations will be serious. The reversibility of this disease with suitable intervention strategies should be seen as an opportunity and efforts pursued with vigour. Also, the medical literature available in the Indian population is limited, only 3 similar studies and died are available in India and only 2 International studies available 1 of West Bank, Libiyal and another of Slovakia to hence the need for the present study arose. Study Design: Cross-sectional and observational study.
