A staggeringly large number of Indians in 15 states are either
overweight or underweight and suffer from anaemia, according to the
latest release of the National Family and Health Survey (NFHS 4). These
states make up about 44% of the country's population. The survey was
done in 2015.
Abnormal weight was measured by working out the body mass index (BMI) which is a measure of how much a person weighs relative to his/her height. A BMI less than 18.5 kg per square meter makes you underweight, and over 25 means you are overweight. Both conditions are caused by bad nutrition and result in bad health parameters

What causes obesity?
According to World Health Organisation (WHO), the fundamental cause of obesity is an energy imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended.
Globally, there has been an increased intake of energy-dense foods that are high in fat; and an increase in physical inactivity due to the increasingly sedentary nature of many forms of work, changing modes of transportation and increasing urbanization
