Child marriage and teenage pregnancies are common phenomenon in India, in spite of the legal constraints viz. legal age of marriage for women being 18 years as per amendment of 1978, Govt, of India and the recommendation that the first child birth should take place after 20 years of maternal age. In rural areas, the incidence of teenage pregnancy is as high as 21.12 per cent. In the industrialized world, 34 per cent of the teenage girls become pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20, resulting in more than 820,000 teen pregnancies per year.- Prevalence of Hypertension and its Association with Body Mass Index among College Students

A sample of 1000 urban and rural college students in the age group of 18-25 yrs were randomly selected from six colleges of Hoshiarpur district of Punjab. The prevalence of hypertension among college students was found to be 19.2 % with higher prevalence among males (22%) as compared to females (18%). The rural males (26 vs 18) and females (17 vs 16) were found to be highly affected. The findings further revealed higher percentage of females (44%) in the underweight category as compared to males (28%). On the similar lines high percentage of subjects were found to be underweight (51 % females and 33 % males). Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed significant correlation (p < 0.01) with pocket money and Body Mass Index, whereas diastolic blood pressure was significantly correlated (p < 0.01) with monthly family income. The relationship of associated risk factors of hypertension was found to be positive with malnutrition, staging higher risk of hypertension in underweight as well as overweight subjects.Keywords

Obesity has emerged as an epidemic in developed and developing countries during the last quarter of the 20th century affecting high and middle income people. The prevalence of childhood obesity has been increasing during the last three decades and it accounts for nearly 30 per cent of all adult obesity. The risk of obesity is two to three times greater for an individual with a family history of obesity and increases further with severe obesity. In addition infants born to overweight mothers have been found to be less active and gain more weight by age three months when compared to infants of normal weight mothers, suggesting a possible inborn drive to conserve energy.- Impact of Nutrition Counselling on the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Scores of at Risk Coronary Heart Disease Subjects
