Summary
• India is third most obese country in the world.
• Obesity is more common in females.
• Punjab and Kerala are the most obese states of India.
• An urgent need to educate the Indian community on the aspects of
healthy food habits and desired lifestyles to prevent obesity and its
associated ill effects.

Future Perspective:
Gut Microbiota Controls Obesity
Science; vol. 341; no. 6150; 1069-1070 (2013)
(A) Germ-free mice inoculated with
microbiota from obese or lean human
twins take on the microbiota
characteristics of the donor. Those
receiving the obese microbiota (red
outline) had an increase in adiposity,
whereas those receiving the lean
microbiota (blue outline) remained lean.
(B) If fed an appropriate diet, mice
harboring the obese microbiota, when
cohoused with mice harboring the lean
microbiota, are invaded by the lean
microbiota and do not develop
increased adiposity (blue and red
outline). By contrast, the obese
microbiota does not effectively colonize
mice harboring the lean microbiota, and
these mice remain lean.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Here I am Showing photograph Of Keith Martin , worlds fattest man Obesity is a global problem and whenever we talk about obesity , we think it is only problem of developed countries . It is a prejudice that Malnutrition is only problem of India while in reality we are facing double jeopardy (starvation – chronic (in south) , obesity- epidemic(in north)) Acc. To study published in noted journal Lancet India is just behind US and China in this global hazard list of top 10 countries with highest number of obese people.
  • #4 Obesity is a state of excess adipose tissue mass. Obesity is a disease of caloric imbalance that results from an excess intake of calories above their consumption by the body.
  • #5 Although there is no specific food that can really pinpoint where fat will be built up in the body, the uniqueness of each person dictates where or in what areas of the body these fats will be stored.
