Abstract:Obesity represents an important and defined medical disorder now a day, in fact it is being considered as an epidemic requiring effective measures for its prevention and management. We have conducted study to examine and investigate 100 asymptomatic and overtly normal looking obese subjects to find out prevalence of morbid pathological consequences of obesity like hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular accident, osteoarthritis, gall stones (cholelithiasis) etc. In this study we have found that obesity is more prevalent in females than in males & currently android type of obesity was found with high prevalence in females so more encouragement and motivational measures should be carried out for weight reduction for prevention of adverse consequences of obesity.
