Abstract

Evidence is emerging to suggest that obesity is a global epidemic increasing worldwide. Body composition refers to the constituents of body lean mass, fat mass, and water. We studied 1202 subjects 403 male and 799 female between 20-60 yrs; for all subjects weight, height, BP, waist circumference, Waist/Hip ratio skin fold thickness and % body fat with Bioelectrical impedance were done. Obesity is strongly related to age and job state however relation to residency is evident in males but not for females. The prevalence of obesity was higher in females than in males. The mean FBS, TC, and TG were higher in the obese subjects. A new cutoff point of WC is obtained 103 for males and 99.6 for females. BIA is a rapid and portable method for composition analysis.
