Abstract: Introduction: Obesity and metabolic syndrome have been long inter-linked and it has been found that the cardiovascular (CV) mortality increases steadily with the increase in obesity as defined by increase in body mass index (BMI). The BMI cut-off for defining obesity is different in Asians as compared to Caucasians where we consider BMI 24.9 as normal. In Asians we use a BMI value of 23 as the upper normal due to the increased CV mortality and higher degree of chronic kidney disease (CKD) as defined by decreased age-specific estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) seen in Asians.
