TITLE:-   BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS INFLUENCING OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH ABDOMINAL OBESITY AND MULTISYSTEM COMORBIDITIES  By Dr. VEMULAPALLI HIMAJA (General Medicine PG) Team Members- Dr. Rakesh Biswas(MD General Medicine), Dr.Vishwak (MD PSYCHIATRY) INTRODUCTION Abdominal obesity may be defined as excess deposits of fat in the abdominal region.
