Article Dans Anglais | IMSEAR | ID: sea-93747
ABSTRACT
The prevalence of obesity and its associations were assessed during a community based epidemiological survey of coronary heart disease on a randomised sample of 13,414 adults in the age group 25-64 years living in urban Delhi. Body Mass Index (BMI) > 25 was considered to be the cut off point for defining obesity. By this criterion, the overall prevalence rate of obesity was 27.8%. Obesity was found to be more common in female subjects (Male--21.3%, Female--33.4%, p < 0.001). Obesity was more frequent in male subjects with lower physical activity compared to those doing heavier physical activity (29.3 vs 17.5%, p < 0.001). Physical activity did not influence the prevalence of obesity in females. Hypertension (24.8 vs 8.2%, p < 0.001) coronary heart disease (5.3 vs 2.4%, p < 0.001) and diabetes mellitus (3.2 vs 1.6%, p < 0.001) were more common in the obese than in the non-obese subjects. Hypercholesterolaemia (65.5 vs 53%, p < 0.001) and hypertriglyceridaemia (73.3 vs 61.1%, p < 0.001) were found to be associated with obesity.
