\u201cBy making small changes in our food habits, we can make our future stronger, fitter and disease-free.\u201d<\/strong>Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obesity has become a major public health challenge in India, affecting people across all age groups and increasing the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)<\/strong> such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Driven by unhealthy diets, sedentary lifestyles, and environmental factors<\/strong>, obesity is rising at an alarming rate, impacting both urban and rural populations. The shift towards processed foods, reduced physical activity, and lifestyle changes<\/strong> has further contributed to this growing crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognizing the urgency of this issue, Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/strong>, in his recent Mann Ki Baat<\/strong> address, emphasized the need for nationwide awareness and collective action to reduce obesity, particularly through lower edible oil consumption. He nominated prominent individuals across India to lead an awareness movement. This call for collective action<\/strong> highlights the importance of tackling obesity at both individual and community levels, reinforcing the need for a fitter and healthier India<\/strong>. The Government of India<\/strong> has launched several initiatives, including the Fit India Movement, NP-NCD, POSHAN Abhiyaan, Eat Right India, and Khelo India<\/strong>, to promote healthier lifestyles, better nutrition, and physical activity<\/strong>. These programs aim to encourage long-term behavioural change, ensuring a healthier future for all. As India moves towards Amrit Kaal<\/strong>, a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach<\/strong> is being adopted to tackle obesity through policy reforms, community engagement, and regulatory measures<\/strong>. Strengthening public health systems, promoting sustainable food habits, and increasing awareness<\/strong> are key to reversing this trend and safeguarding future generations from obesity-related health risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Obesity: Definition and Causes<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Obesity?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the World Health Organization (WHO)<\/strong>, obesity is defined as an abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health<\/strong>. The commonly used metric to classify obesity is Body Mass Index (BMI)<\/strong>, where a BMI of 25 or above<\/strong> is considered overweight, and a BMI of 30 or above<\/strong> is classified as obese. In India, a person is considered overweight<\/strong> if their Body Mass Index (BMI)<\/strong> is between 23.0 and 24.9 kg\/m\u00b2<\/strong>, and obese<\/strong> if their BMI is 25 kg\/m\u00b2 or higher<\/strong>. Morbid obesity<\/strong> occurs when a person\u2019s BMI is 35 or more<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is BMI?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Body Mass Index (BMI<\/strong>), previously known as the Quetelet index<\/strong>, is a simple way to check if an adult has a healthy weight. It is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared (kg\/m\u00b2). To find BMI, take a person\u2019s weight (kg)<\/strong> and divide it by their height (m) squared<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy BMI Range<\/strong>
A normal BMI falls between 18.5 <\/strong>and 24.9<\/strong>, based on the World Health Organization (WHO)<\/strong> guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Statistics<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prevalence of overweight and obesity has been rising steadily among both adults and children worldwide. Between 1990 and 2022<\/strong>, the percentage of children and adolescents (aged 5\u201319 years)<\/strong> with obesity increased fourfold, from 2% to 8%.<\/strong> During the same period, the proportion of adults (aged 18 and older)<\/strong> with obesity more than doubled, rising from 7% to 16%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India\u2019s Obesity Statistics<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • As per the\u00a0National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-5 (2019-21),\u00a0<\/strong>overall,\u00a024% of Indian women and 23% of Indian men\u00a0<\/strong>are overweight or obese<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • As per the\u00a0NFHS-5, (2019-2021)\u00a0<\/strong>in the category of ages\u00a015-49 years<\/strong>,\u00a06.4 %<\/strong>\u00a0of women and\u00a04.0<\/strong>\u00a0%<\/strong>\u00a0of men, are obese.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    Government of India’s Strategic Framework for Obesity Prevention<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Policy Innovations and Measurable Outcomes<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Recognizing obesity as a critical public health concern<\/strong>, the Government of India has launched comprehensive, multi-pronged initiatives<\/strong> to prevent, manage, and reduce obesity<\/strong> at all levels. The interventions are strategically designed by multiple ministries<\/strong> to promote a holistic approach<\/strong> that integrates health, nutrition, physical activity, food safety, and lifestyle modifications<\/strong>. These efforts can be categorized under the following key intervention areas<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) – Strengthening Public Health Responses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1.1 National Programme for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (NP-NCD) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In India, non-communicable diseases (NCDs)<\/strong> cause 63% of all deaths<\/strong>, according to WHO\u2019s 2018 – NCD India<\/strong> profile. The leading causes are cardiovascular diseases (27%), followed by chronic respiratory diseases (11%), cancers (9%), diabetes (3%), and other conditions, including obesity (13%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Non-communicable diseases (NCDs)<\/strong> such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases are largely driven by modifiable lifestyle factors, including tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and alcohol consumption. Air pollution further increases the risk. These factors contribute to obesity, high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, and raised cholesterol levels<\/strong>, all of which significantly increase the likelihood of developing NCDs. Since many of these risk factors are preventable, addressing obesity and unhealthy habits<\/strong> can play a crucial role in reducing the burden of NCDs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Department of Health and Family Welfare under the National Programme for Prevention and Control of <\/strong>Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) (NP-NCD) <\/strong>through the National Health Mission (NHM<\/strong>), aims to promote health through behaviour change by engaging communities, civil society, media, and development partners<\/strong>. It focuses on screening, early diagnosis, management, referral, and follow-up at all healthcare levels<\/strong> to ensure continuous care. The program also strengthens the capacity of healthcare providers for prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, awareness (IEC\/BCC), monitoring, and research<\/strong>. Additionally, it enhances supply chain management for essential drugs, equipment, and logistics while ensuring effective supervision, evaluation, and nationwide implementation through a uniform ICT system.<\/p>\n\n\n
