- Estimates are weighted for age, sex, and non-response; BMI body mass index; According to WHO Overweight is defined as BMI > = 25 kg/m2 and <30 kg/m2. Obesity defined as BMI > = 30 kg/m2; According to Asian cut off overweight is defined as BMI > = 23 kg/m2 and <27.5 kg/m2; obesity defined as BMI > =27.5 kg/m2; abdominal obesity defined waist circumference >90 cm for men and >80 cm for women; data in the table are presented as mean (95 % confidence interval) or % (95 % confidence interval); *p <0.05 compared to rural subjects; **p < 0.05 compared to rural females; ***p <0.05 compared to urban females
