Among 1004, the overall prevalence rates of underweight, overweight and obese were found to be 18.8%, 12.3% and 3.7% respectively. The majority of the participants were newly diagnosed with prediabetes and prehypertension conditions, and nearly a quarter had a possible risk of developing thyroid and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Management of these health consequences decreases the progression of the risks that should be prevented.
