“…These epidemiological, population-based studies were conducted between 1998 and 2003 in two metropolitan cities in north India by two investigators. Two studies were conducted in New Delhi by our group (AM, NKV): the first on urban adult population 12 and the second on subjects aged 14-25 years. 13 The first study from New Delhi included subjects residing in an urban resettlement colony.…”

Objective: To test the validity of internationally accepted waist circumference (WC) action levels for adult Asian Indians. Design: Analysis of data from multisite cross-sectional epidemiological studies in north India. Subjects: In all, 2050 adult subjects 418 years of age (883 male and 1167 female subjects). Measurements: Body mass index (BMI), WC, waist-to-hip circumference ratio, blood pressure, and fasting samples for blood glucose, total cholesterol, serum triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Results: In male subjects, a WC cutoff point of 78 cm (sensitivity 74.3%, specificity 68.0%), and in female subjects, a cutoff point of 72 cm (sensitivity 68.7%, specificity 71.8%) were appropriate in identifying those with at least one cardiovascular risk factor and for identifying those with a BMI 421 kg/m 2 . WC levels of X90 and X80 cm for men and women, respectively, identified high odds ratio for cardiovascular risk factor(s) and BMI level of X25 kg/m 2 . The current internationally accepted WC cutoff points (102 cm in men and 88 cm in women) showed lower sensitivity and lower correct classification as compared to the WC cutoff points generated in the present study. Conclusion: We propose the following WC action levels for adult Asian Indians: action level 1: men, X78 cm, women, X72 cm; and action level 2: men, X90 cm, women, X80 cm.

“…Because ED and CVD share many of the same risk factors, the relationship between CVD and ED is a very valid concern. Among Asian Indians, there is rising trend of CAD with disease often being more extensive and severe than their Western counterpart [11,12]. Despite this, there are limited data on the prevalence of ED and its association with angiographically documented CAD in these patient populations.…”

“…Despite this, there are limited data on the prevalence of ED and its association with angiographically documented CAD in these patient populations. Patients were divided into groups based on IIEF-5 scores as no ED (22)(23)(24)(25), mild (17)(18)(19)(20)(21), mild to moderate (12)(13)(14)(15)(16), moderate (8)(9)(10)(11), and severe (<7) ED [13]. Patients with abnormal parameters were assessed by cardiologists by echocardiography, stress test and if necessary coronary angiography (Non-Invasive or Invasive).…”

“…In addition to these measurements, detailed information was collected on their dietary habits and sedentary lifestyle behaviour along with other sociodemographic characteristics. Information on the woman's perception about her own weight and weight-management behaviour was also collected, which is the main response variable in the present paper.Sample selection, response rate and sample size Earlier studies on obesity in India and other developing countries have shown that overweight and obesity are predominant in urban areas and among women (16,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) . Therefore, only urban primary sampling units were chosen for the follow-up survey in Delhi.…”

Objective: We examined the socio-economic differential in the self-perception of body weight, future intention for weight management and actual weightmanagement behaviour among normal-weight, overweight and obese women in India. Design: A population-based follow-up survey of ever-married women, systematically selected from the second round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-2, 1998-99) samples, who were re-interviewed after four years in 2003. Setting: Information on women's perception about their own weight, intention of weight management and actual weight-management behaviour were collected through personal interview. Anthropometric measurements were obtained from women to compute their current BMI. Subjects: Three hundred and twenty-five ever-married women aged 20-54 years residing in the national capital territory of Delhi in India. Results: Discrepancy between self-perceived body weight and women's actual body weight was reported. One-quarter of overweight women and one in ten obese women perceived themselves as normal weight. Although a majority of overweight and obese women wanted to reduce their weight, a significant proportion of overweight (one in four) and 4 % of obese women also wanted to maintain their weight as it is. Only one in three overweight and one in four obese women were performing any physical activity to reduce their weight. Conclusions: These findings are important for public health interventions in obesity care. Implementation of health promotion and health education in the community should use effective school education and mass-media programmes to raise awareness of appropriate body weight to combat the growing level of obesity among Indian women. KeywordsObesity Body weight Self-perception Weight management Women IndiaThe prevalence of obesity has been increasing progressively across the globe (1) and excess body weight as a risk factor for mortality and morbidity from a number of diseases, including type 2 diabetes, CVD, hypertension, gallstones, musculoskeletal disorders and certain cancers, causing nearly 3 million deaths every year worldwide, is well documented (1)(2)(3) . Worldwide, at least 2?8 million people die each year as a result of being overweight or obese and an estimated 35?8 million (2?3 %) of global disability-affected life years are caused by overweight or obesity (2) . The worldwide prevalence of obesity more than doubled between 1980 and 2008. In 2008, 10 % of men and 14 % of women globally were obese (BMI $ 30?0 kg/m 2 ), compared with 5 % for men and 8 % for women in 1980. Currently, an estimated 205 million men and 297 million women over the age of 20 years are obese -a total of more than half a billion adults worldwide (3) . Even in countries like India, which are typically known for a high prevalence of undernutrition, a significant proportion of overweight and obese people now coexists with those who are undernourished (4) . Most recent data available from India show that overweight and obesity together among women is 12?6 % and almost simi...
