dc.description.abstractIn urban areas of India, Obesity is becoming an important public health problem. The rising prevalence of obesity and overweight is also related to the associated disorders like dyslipdemia, hypertension, type II diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. Not many studies are available on the association between body composition measures and anthropometry among overweight and obese young adult females. Hence was the need for the present study. The study aimed at assessing the incidence of overweight and obesity among young adult females (20 - 24 years), determining the body composition and finding the association between body composition measures, anthropometry and energy balance. Around 400 young adults (20-24 years) from Coimbatore district were screened for overweight: obesity and underweight based on body mass index and forty five subjects, fifteen from each BMI category were chosen for the study. Their background information and life style pattern was recorded by an Interview schedule and nutritional status was assessed using the biochemical profile (blood profile, glucose, and lipid profile), clinical examination and diet survey. Body composition measures were done using Biospace Inbody - 720 - body composition analyzer using BIA principle. Results showed that all the body compositionparameters were found to be higher in obese subjects when compared to that of normal and overweight individuals. Visceral fat area was above normal in obese and fat free mass, total body water and protein were deficit in normal subjects. The study showed association between body composition, biochemical parameters, energy balance and anthropometry.en_US
