It was seen that majority of overweight (65 percent) and obese (73.33 percent) adolescents lead a physically inactive lifestyle. None of the overweight and obese adolescents were involved in physical activity for more than an hour. The observation was significant (p=0.000). Most of the overweight and obese adolescents had appropriate diet. However, 11 of the overweight and 27 among adolescents consumed calories more than the requirement. This observation was found to be significant (p=0.000). Out of 149 adolescents consuming fast food, 59 were overweight and 51 were obese.
