- Brief Summary
Obesity is a huge global health issue. Overweight and obesity have become much more
common in recent decades, not just in high-income countries, but also in middle- and low-
income countries. Visceral or abdominal obesity is a strong predictor of cardiovascular risk.
Increased body mass index has been demonstrated to be a weaker predictor of cardiovascular
risk than abdominal obesity.
The students should not eat any junk food two days prior to the lipid profile test. Blood samples
will be taken to determine the lipid levels, a few questions about their lifestyle choices and
habits using a Google Forms questionnaire will be given, and according to their consent the
anthropometric measures will be taken. Their abdominal fat will be noted using the Skinfold
caliper, and their waist and hip circumferences will be measured simultaneously using the
measuring tape. The relationship between their occupation, lipid levels, and upper abdominal
obesity will be recorded.
