About obesity, we find most of the women to be affected with it than to men. But exceptionally, obesity among Chinese men found to be rising at a high rate.
Among men obesity hikes up to 1.3 percentage point and students to 1.0 percentage point than to women which remained constant.
Possible causes found behind it were alterations in traditional diet, limited physical activity and raised sedentary lifestyles. Further, students skip regular exercise due to unavailability of time.
However, the composite index of national physical fitness rises to 0.75 percent, pointing males to physically fit, mostly in urban areas than to rural.
Thus, schools need to extend Physical Education (PE) classes by providing the students enough time for physical practices. Along with it, people should acquire nutrition rich diet including fruits and vegetables rather to junk food.
