BACKGROUND: There is an alarming increasing in the prevalence of overweight and obesity worldwide with globalization of economics and rapid international communication. Andhra Pradesh prevalence of overweight and obesity in males is 7.2% and females are 7.8%in rural areas. The prevalence of obesity in adults is 10%in rural areas of Andhra Pradesh.
OBJECTIVE: 1. To study prevalence of overweight/obesity among adults (20-60yrs) in the field practice area of OMC, Hyderabad. 2. To study the relationship between overweight/obesity with physical activity and dietary factors.3.To study the morbidity patterns among over weight/obesity individuals.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The patancheruvu mandal consists of 13 villages, 3villages were selected randomly and households were selected by systematic random method, a sample of 900 subjects was interviewed with pretested profroma. Age, sex, height, weight, blood pressure, diabetes, dietary patterns, smoking, alcoholism, CAD were recorded from March 2005 to February 2006.
RESULTS: The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 25%.Among males 34.82%and Females19.76%. Among age group 51-60yrs, 46.73%were overweight/obese and the association between 40yrs was significant p30 were HTN3.74%, DM0.78%, joint pains26.58%, respiratory diseases 5.06%.
CONCLUSIONS: The over all prevalence of over weight/obesity was 25% in the study population .34.82%in males and 19.67% in females. As the age increases overweight/obesity also increases along a gradient till 60+yrs .High literacy, alcoholism and low physical activity were significantly associated with over weight/obesity. As BMI increases morbidities tend to increase in rural area.

Andhra Pradesh prevalence of overweight and obesity in males is 27.27% and females are 44.64% in urban areas. The prevalence of obesity in adults is 20-40% in urban areas of Andhra Pradesh.
Objective: 1. To study prevalence of overweight/obesity among adults (20-60yrs) in the urban field practice area of OMC, Hyderabad. 2. To study the relationship between overweight/obesity with physical activity. 3. To study the morbidity patterns among over weight/obesity individuals.
Materials and Methods: The urban health centre consists of 41slums, 3 slums were selected randomly and households were selected by systematic random method, sample of 400 subjects were interviewed with pretested profroma. Age, sex, height, weight, blood pressure, diabetes, dietary patterns, smoking, alcoholism, CAD are recorded from March 2005 to September 2005.
Results: The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 37%. Among males 27.27% and females 44.64%. Among age group 51-60 yrs, 45.45% were overweight/obese and the association between 40yrs was significant p25 were HTN 12.16%, DM13.52%, joint pains 31.08%, respiratory diseases 8.01% and CAD 1.35%.
Conclusions: The over all prevalence of over weight/obesity was 37% in the study population. 27.27% in males and 44.64% in females. As the age increases overweight/obesity also increases along a gradient till 60+yrs. High literacy, T.V. watching and low physical exercise were significantly associated with over weight/obesity. As BMI increases morbidities tend to increase in urban area.

Background The prevalence of Anemia is disproportionately high in developing countries due to poverty, inadequate diet, certain diseases, pregnancy,lactation and poor access to health services. The worlds adolescent population age 10- 19 years estimated to stand more than 1 billion, yet adolescence remained a largely neglected, difficult to measure and hard to react population in which the needs of adolescent girls, in particular are often ignored.
Objectives 1. To know the prevalence of anaemia among adolescent girls. 2. To find the demographic profile among the adolescent anaemic girls.
Methodology The present cross sectional community based study was conducted in an urban field practice area of community medicine during the period of June 2008 to Nov 2008. A random sample of 248 girl's participated and house to house survey conducted. Hemoglobin Estimation was done by Sahli's method. Diagnostic criteria for anaemia was Haemoglobin level < 12 gms for non pregnant women adolescent girls and < 11 gms for pregnant adolescent girls.
Results The prevalence of anemia was found to be 68.95%. A significant association of anemia was found with low socio - economic status (p<0.05). High prevalence of anaemia was observed in parents of truck, auto and laborers families and which was significant(P<0.001). Prevalence of anaemia more or less same in all the age groups of adolescent age in our study.

Introduction
According to HIV surveillance by national AIDS control organization (NACO) in India, percentage of mother to child transmission cases among total AIDS cases is increasing year by year. HIV can be transmitted from mother to infant in 3 ways - Infection may occur in utero, the virus can be transmitted to the infant at the time of delivery or it can be transmitted through breast milk. Many social factors play a key role for increased incidence and prevalence of HIV to antenatal women.
Objectives
1. To know the prevalence of HIV in antenatal women 2. To find the outcome of HIV positive pregnancies. 3 To identify the various social factors in HIV positive women.
Methodology
A Hospital based cohort study at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Kadapa, among PPTCT Centre attendees during the period of One year extends from October 2007 to September 2008. A total numbers of 4112 antenatal women were participated in this study and Oral interview with partially closed ended proforma was applied. The data thus obtained was subjected to analysis and results are presented.
Results
About 4112 ANC are tested, out of which 56 (1.36%) were found to be positive. 51.78% of HIV positive ANC were observed in between age group of 15-24 years. 85.71% of HIV ANC were housewives. 96.42% of HIV+ ANC women were married. 75 % of HIV ANC delivered normally. Pregnancy wastage and IMR for HIV ANC is as high as 30%.27.5%of children delivered to HIV+ women are of low birth weight.
Conclusions
Low birth weight is an observed complication in HIV positive Antenatal case. A negative pregnancy outcome in the form of Pregnancy wastage and IMR is very high. This can be reduced some extent by Peer education, counseling, Proper antenatal checkups and good quality of delivery practices.
