ABOUT OBESITY AND OBESITY RELATED DISEASES IN INDIA

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines overweight and obesity as the abnormal or excessive accumulation of body fat that can pose a risk to health. Obesity is a condition in which a person has accumulated an unhealthy amount of body fat, usually resulting from an imbalance between calorie intake and expenditure. Consuming a high number of calorie-dense foods without a corresponding increase in physical activity can cause weight gain, while reduced physical activity can also contribute to an energy imbalance and lead to weight gain.

The body mass index (BMI) is a common and simple measure used to classify overweight and obesity in adults. It is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters (kg/m2). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a BMI of 25 or greater is considered overweight, while a BMI of 30 or greater is considered obese.

More people die from overweight and obesity than from underweight, and these conditions are known to increase the risk of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (including heart attack and stroke), diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders (such as osteoarthritis), and certain types of cancer (including breast, ovarian, prostate, liver, gallbladder, kidney, and colon cancer).

Yes, that’s correct. Adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and regular physical activity can help prevent overweight and obesity, as well as reduce the risk of related non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. It’s important to make sustainable lifestyle changes and be consistent with healthy habits to achieve long-term benefits.

 

Absolutely! It’s important to make sustainable changes that can be maintained in the long-term to achieve optimal health outcomes. Some effective strategies to adopt a healthy lifestyle include:

  • Eating a balanced diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
  • Limiting intake of processed and high-calorie foods, sugary drinks, and alcohol
  • Engaging in regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming.
  • Incorporating strength training exercises, such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises, to build muscle and increase metabolism.
  • Practicing stress management techniques, such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.
  • Getting adequate sleep, which is essential for overall health and weight management.
  • Seeking support from family and friends, or joining a community or group that promotes healthy living.

By following these strategies, individuals can achieve a healthy weight and reduce their risk of related non-communicable diseases.

The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) conducted a study in the South East Asia region, which includes 9 countries, including India. According to the IDF, there are currently 425 million people with diabetes worldwide, and 82 million people in the South East Asia region, a number that is projected to rise to 151 million by 2045. In 2017, there were over 72.9 million reported cases of diabetes in India, and this number is expected to double in the coming years. However, it’s important to note that the data in this study was based on reported cases to the government or hospital. It’s possible that many adults in India do not go for regular health check-ups, so the actual number of diabetes cases may be much higher than reported.

So if we do the root cause analysis – what causes diabetes?

This is one of the major causes of obesity. Obesity never develops overnight; it progresses from poor diet. And wrong eating habits from childhood also make people obese
Globally, as people tend to eat out more often, the consumption of junk food is among key causes of obesity. During childhood, children fed junk food will find it hard to develop good eating habits.
Lack of physical activity aided by the technology boom is making us physically inactive and leading to people becoming obese.
A major section of the population still lacks basic knowledge about the right nutrition, which is again among the major causes of obesity. These are the major reason for obesity and obesity-related diseases and the lack of infrastructure and lack of companies providing education and solution for obesity and obesity-related diseases in India has caused this situation.
