Dr. M. Srikanth together with Dr.
M. Suneetha today released a VLCC Osteoporosis book on world anti obesity day.
Speaking on the occasion Dr Srikanth said, there is a virtual epidemic of
obesity sweeping the globe and in the context of India, what is most worrisome
is a very high prevalence of central or abdominal obesity which has been found
to be over 60 per cent in both men and women in Andhrapradesh. Dr. M. Suneetha
said that abdominal obesity is an independent risk factor for diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Even if a person is not apparently obese in general,
the abdominal obesity in itself acts as a major risk factor, she added. Dr.
Srikanth and Dr Suneetha appreciated the relentless efforts of VLCC in bringing
public awareness about obesity and managing it effectively.
