Abstract
The goal of the current study was to determine the correlates of adult BMI as well as examine how body composition and energy balance connect to BMI. Data on several factors, including socioeconomic status, demographics, and BMI profile. The study was cross-sectional and used a random sample technique. BMI was computed using the subjects' height and weight from the screening process. The participants were categorized using the WHO's BMI categorization. An extensive investigation on adult body composition patterns and energy balance in relation to BMI categories was conducted using purposeful sampling. A schedule for interviews was created, and the investigator visited each family individually to gather data on the demographic profile, age, height, and weight. The investigator then estimated BMI using the height and weight information. Through the use of the 24-hour dietary recall method, energy consumption was determined. The nutritional value of Indian cuisine was used to interpret it. When gathering data on energy intake and expenditure, a period of two working days and one holiday was chosen to account for the possibility that eating and exercising habits can change on some days of the week. For this, the subjects' time spent on each activity was tracked over the course of 24 hours. In order to encourage a healthy lifestyle among the population under research, it was felt throughout the course of the current study that new public health initiatives, such as computer-based health education remedial measures, about lifestyle changes and food adjustment, are required. Testing the software's authenticity and dependability served as its evaluation.
