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. It is a common health condition seen in South Asians and is positively related to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It is independent of body mass index and measured by raised waist circumference for men≥90 cm and women≥80 cm1 Waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) are widely used as indirect measures of abdominal or central adiposity in epidemiological studies. Although the definition of abdominal obesity remains in dispute, the cutoffs for WC (102 cm for men, 88 cm for women) and WHR (0.95 for men, 0.88 for women) were recommended by the American Heart Association and the US Department of Agriculture2 Abdominal obesity was deter
