PANAJI: Goan adults are far more overweight than other Indians and this is
causing a serious concern among health professionals. And when it comes to
being obese, Goan women outdo the men. The percentage of women who are
overweight or obese is 27, much higher than the all India figure of 14.8%. The
men are not far behind though, with 20.8% of Goan men being obese or
overweight, again higher than the all India percentage of 12.1. This has been
revealed by the Health Intelligence Bureau report, 2007, of the Directorate of
Health Services. The year of reference for the data is 2005-06 and it reveals
the nutritional status of adults (age 15 to 49). "Obesity is a growing disease
among Goans. It is a silent killer," said Dr Digambar Naik from Vrundavan
Hospital, Mapusa. Naik added that 60% of the patients above the age of 40 who
come to the hospital are obese, with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 30.
"Abdominal obesity is a problem in Goa and about one-third of the adult popul
ation is obese," said Dr Rufino Monteiro from Vintage Hospital, Panaji.
