The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of overweight and obese in Karnataka, and to check relationship between Socio-economic background and overweight and obesity among women in the state. BMI status of 248 women aged between 18-45 years of age was analyzed by using anthropometric method. Results of the study: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is more in urban areas than in rural area. The risk of overweight and obesity is higher in urbanized districts. Results of the study indicate positive association between socio-economic factors like place of residence (p=0.059), economic status of family (p=0.021), education (p=0.017), and nutritional status of Women.Conclusion: India is typically known for high prevalence of under-nutrition, but now a days, overweight or obesity among women is also common.

The present Study has focused all 29 states and 7 union territories at macro level. For the data analysis statistical tools like independent t test is used to examine the rural-urban differences in the prevalence. Results: study found significant variations in the prevalence of malnutrition. There is a significant variation in the prevalence of malnutrition across the state. Obesity is more prevalent in urban areas than rural areas except in...

The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of underweight and what extent some religious and caste minorities suffer from underweight, in rural India and in Karnataka state. Results of the study. At the national level, the degree of under-nutrition was higher among the SCs and the STs than the children belonging to Non-SC/STs. Overall, the gap was not very wide; about five-ten percentage points, but in many States, the condition of the SCs and the STs was very worse than the Non-SC/STs. The risk of underweight is also higher among SC, ST, Minorities than OBC and others in the state of Karnataka. The children belonging to scheduled castes have a higher prevalence of malnutrition. It is found that backward classes especially Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) are badly affected in the State. Results do not indicate significant gender disparities in the prevalence of underweight among Boys and girls.
