Nutritional, demographic, epidemio- logical and socio-economic transitions are occurring in many developing countries. This "nutritional transition" encompasses changes in a range of risk factors and diseases. Obesity is a complex, multi-factorial disorder that develops from an interaction of social behavioural, cultural, physiological, metabolic and genetic factors. Globally, 6.7 per cent are underweight, 25.7 per cent are overweight and 8.9 per cent are obese. In India, obesity is emerging as an important health problem paradoxically co-existing with under nutrition. The prevalence of obesity in India is 16 per cent in women and 12.1 per cent in men.

Obesity has become the leading metaboiic disorder in the world and is referred to as the global epidemic by WHO. Prevalence of obesity varies amongst countries depending upon environmental and behavioral changes brought about by economic development, modernization and urbanization. The variation in prevalence of obesity epidemic in various races and communities of the world may be attributed to heredity, age, sex, diet, eating patterns, life style and or behaviour1. Globally, 6.7 per cent are underweight, 25.7 per cent are overweight and 8.9 per cent are obese. More than 1.1 billion people are estimated to be overweight, of whom around 320 million are obese. WHO projects that by 2015, approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese. Nearly 43 million children under the age of five were overweight in 20103. According to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2007-2008), over two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight and over one-third are obese (around 66% overweight and 32% obese)', in India, obesity is emerging as an important health problem paradoxically co-existing with under nutrition.- Prevalence and Epidemiological Factors Associated with Obesity among Adults in Ernakulam District, Kerala

During the past few decades, the prevalence of obesity has grown to epidemic proportions and this condition is now known to be a major contributor to the global burden of disease. World Health Organisation's (WHO) latest projections indicated that globally in 2005 approximately 1.6 billion adults (age 15+) were overweight and at least 400 million adults were obese. WHO further projects that by 2015, approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese.- Antioxidant Activity and Phytochemical Screening of Different Varieties of Tea

Tea is consumed by a range of age groups in all levels of society. Tea is one of the richest sources of antioxidants and the three major forms of antioxidant tea are green tea, oolong tea and black tea. White tea is one of the newer entries. Antioxidant activity of tea is affected by many natural polyphenols: catechins, oxyaromatic acids, tannins, flavonols, thearubigins, theaflavins, etc. The present study was conducted to determine total antioxidant activity of different teas, black, white, green and oolong tea, to determine flavonoid content, total phenol content and study phytochemical screening of the different teas. A survey was conducted among 40 subjects to assess the popularity of tea consumption, awareness on the different varieties of tea, its health benefits, type and brand preferred etc. Among the four samples of tea, antioxidant activity was tested by using DPPH method. The methanolic extracts of white tea showed highest antioxidant activity, with IC50 value of 231.52 μg/ml. Black tea showed weak antioxidant activity with IC50 value of 317.45 μg/ml. The antioxidant activity of white tea was higher than the other varieties of teas. Flavonoid content is higher in white tea than in green, oolong and black tea. Phenol and tannin content was also high in white tea than other three teas. Hence antioxidant activity, free radical scavenging and microbial activity were higher in white tea than the other varieties. From the sensory evaluation conducted, white tea was found to be highly acceptable.Keywords
