"obesity"

As per the preliminary investigations, the 20-year-old MBBS student was depressed over being fat and not able to overcome it and that is why he committed suicide

The findings revealed that among urban adults in Telangana, 47.7 percent were obese, and 14.8 percent were overweight.

Obesity before or during pregnancy is the actual root cause of future cardiovascular disease, finds a study.

Long-term investigations evaluating neighbourhood walkability and the incidence of obesity-related cancer were, however, scarce until now.

Neighbourhood walkability refers to a set of urban design elements that encourage pedestrian activity, boost total physical activity, and are related to a lower BMI. Long-term investigations evaluating neighbourhood walkability and the incidence of obesity-related cancer were, however, scarce until now.

A new five-year study involving 119 patients sought to fill some of that information void by investigating the association between obesity and self-reported efficacy of HT in peri- and postmenopausal women.

The corresponding number in the control group was 51 haematological cancers, with the group remaining at the level of severe obesity.

The study examined if the daily rhythm of moderate to vigorous physical activity, measured using accelerometers, alters its relationship with obesity.

Results revealed a strong linear association between moderate to vigorous physical activity and obesity.

For the first time, researchers have found that people with obesity had changed connection patterns with particular brain regions in VTA, a crucial brain structure involved in motivation and reward appreciation

Scientists at NIN developed a colony of unique spontaneous mutant obese rats and employed the animal models to demonstrate how obesity accelerates the onset and development of breast cancer.

The findings add further evidence to the relevance of brain structure to weight and food consumption

It discovered a high prevalence of kids with cardiovascular disease risk factors, but a substantial shortage of resources and staff to deliver the timely, preventive care they require.

The research team sequenced the exome - protein-coding part of the genome - of more than 4,14,000 adults from the UK Biobank study and looked at variants, or mutations, within genes associated with BMI in men and women

Obesity, considered a non-infectious pandemic, is known to increase the risk o ovarian cancer and decrease the likelihood of surviving the disease.

The findings suggest that, in addition to other socioeconomic factors such as family poverty, racial discrimination may be a risk factor for young people developing obesity

The findings, published in the journal Child and Adolescent Obesity, also demonstrated a noticeable decrease in those who overestimate their weight.

Luckily for these overweight people, modern science has now recognised 'obesity' as a life-style disease that can affect anyone from the middle to the upper-middle classes of society, in any age group.

India now has over 101 million people living with diabetes, accounting for 11.4% of the population

The 60-year-old woman from Jhajjar in Haryana was earlier told to go for bariatric surgery to reduce weight and then for knee replacement.
