| Popis: | A randomized study was conducted among young,obese,non-vegeterian junk food eaters in semi-urban populations and it has been established that the measurement of BMI (Body Mass Index) along with estimation of lipid profile and fasting blood sugar at least once in a year for young obese non-vegeterian, regular junk food eaters may prevent CHD by suitable preventive measure at the earliest. Coronary Heart Diseases (CHD) has become an ubiquitous cause of morbidity and a leading contributor to mortality in most countries. 1 2 The rise and recent decline of the CHD epidemic in the developed countries have been well documented. 3 4 The emergence of the CHD epidemic in the developing countries during the past two to three decades has attracted less comment and little public health response, even within these countries. It is not widely realized that at present, the developing countries contribute a greater share to the global burden of CHD than the developed countries. 1 4 It has been estimated that 5.3 million deaths attributable to CHD occurred in the developed countries in 1990, whereas the corresponding figure for the developing countries ranged between 8 to 9 million.A second cause for considerable alarm is the projected rise in both proportional and absolute CHD mortality rates in the developing countries over the next 25 years.6 7 The reasons for this anticipated acceleration of the epidemic are many. In the second half of the twentieth century, most developing countries experienced a major surge in life expectancy.8 For |
