%X Obesity is one of the most challenging chronic
disease threats facing our country today. It has profound health and economic
consequences for our <span>patients and our
country. In clinical practice, overweight and obesity are diagnosed by body
mass index (BMI), which represents a measure of a patient¡¯s weight for their
height. There are various reason</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">s</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">why</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> people beca</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">me fatty and gain overweight. It is a medical
problem associated with environment</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">al</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> and socio-economic factor</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">s</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">. In some factor</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">s,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> people seem to under n<span>ourish and </span></span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">in </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">some
condition</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">s</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> people
became obese. In this paper</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> I find
out some causes which affect</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">our body</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> especially daily lifestyle.
I need to take some anthropometric measurements to check their nutritional
status and </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">I did some statistical
analysis </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">to</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> experiment </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">with </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">the
interrelationship between BMI (body mass index) and anthropometry. Which one is
better to calculate obesity, BMI or Anthropometry was my aim to find out. I did
my experiment on the population of </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">the </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">hilly area. I did work among
106 individuals cross-sectionally. As result</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> I
got a strong relationship </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">between</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> BMI and anthropometry.
