Background:
Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic and its prevalence continues to increase at a rapid rate in various populations and across all age-group. The effect of meal skipping, both behaviorally and physiologically, may have an impact on the outcome of weight-loss efforts.
Aims And Objectives:
Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of breakfast skipping and obesity in subjects.
Materials And Methods:
A retrospective analysis of the patients visited to a metabolic clinic of the city was done.
Results:
One hundred and eighty-six eligible subjects were included for the study. A questionnaire was used for data collection which included information regarding dietary factors and exercise schedule/physical activity. A 24-hour dietary recall method was used to assess the amount of food consumed. Anthropometric measurements were taken.
Conclusion:
The higher prevalence of overweight and obesity in the present study could be because of imbalance in the diet and faulty food habits prevalent in the region.
