The BMI and well appropriate anthropometric measurements (waist circumference, hip circumference, waist to hip ratio, fat percentage and ASindex) were determined through standard protocols and formulae. The mean difference of anthropometrics was determined by independent t-test. Data was analysed using SPSS ver.16.0.0. The BMI was determined for all subjects and it was found that out of 340 subjects, a total of 95 (27.9%) subjects were obese , followed by a total of 122 (35.8%) subjects were overweight and normal individuals were 123 (36.1%).
