The difference in anthropometric measurements like height, weight, MUAC and waist circumference were found to be highly significant (P<0.05) with prevalence of obesity on the basis of analysis of variance. There was no abnormality in lipid profile, though the subjects were obese, which indicate that there overweight is of recent origin
