Brief Summary

Overweight and obesity is growing rapidly in India which indicates that safe, effective and less expensive  tools are required to address the problem. Nutritional counseling and lifestyle modification is effective in lower BMI sub group but findings indicate it is not equally effective to address the weight related problem of the obese group (≥30 kg/m2). Relevant research in this area, in India is minimal and the data available is mostly inconsistent. Due to absence of scientific data of supervised non surgical intervention in different BMI sub group it is difficult to claim the effectiveness of this treatment module in different BMI sub group .

Therefore it is proposed to carry out a study to see the impact of supervised non surgical intervention in different BMI sub group (Group I: ≥25-29.9 & Group- II: ≥ 30 kg/m2) and assess the difference between supervised non surgical and surgical intervention in morbidly obese patients (BMI ≥35 kg/m2 with co-morbidities or BMI ≥40 kg/m2). The findings of the study will help in formulation of strategies to control the problem among the target groups.
