  • 摘要:Obesity is one of the most challenging chronic disease threats facing our country today. It has profound health and economic consequences for our patients and our country. In clinical practice, overweight and obesity are diagnosed by body mass index (BMI), which represents a measure of a patient’s weight for their height. There are various reasons why people became fatty and gain overweight. It is a medical problem associated with environmental and socio-economic factors. In some factors, people seem to under nourish and in some conditions people became obese. In this paper, I find out some causes which affect our body, especially daily lifestyle. I need to take some anthropometric measurements to check their nutritional status and I did some statistical analysis to experiment with the interrelationship between BMI (body mass index) and anthropometry. Which one is better to calculate obesity, BMI or Anthropometry was my aim to find out. I did my experiment on the population of the hilly area. I did work among 106 individuals cross-sectionally. As result, I got a strong relationship between BMI and anthropometry. After all, this study proves WC indicates better fat distribution.
