Obesity among young people in Mirpur, Pakistan
We need to raise awareness about obesity and its disease outcomes on the population particularly among young people whoose diets change and adapt. My research on food consumption and obesity among young people in Pakistan shows that young Pakistanis are consuming more 'takeaway' and restaurant foods than 10 years. This will have a knock on effect on the 'health system' of Pakistan in the future.

Dear Hussain A,
In reply to your question the importance of my resesrch showed that more and more young people were consuming fatty food (saturated foods i.e. takeaways, sugary foods) and this was coupled with limited physical activity among this group. My point is that we need to raise awarness among health professionals at this trend so that general population are made aware. We need to start NOW.

Thank you dear roses1 for your reply!
I actually asked the question in context of various types of obesity mentioned in the literature for example at the following link:
http://www.obesityfocused.com/articles/about-obesity/definition-of-obesity.php
I wanted to know whether there was any detail of some special group or different groups of obesity noted by you in your research regarding the subject.
With best wishes!
oooooooooooooooooo
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
I seek refuge of Allah from the accursed one (Satan)……..
So far as the myth, wretchedness and absurdness of your posts and the vivid atrocity of yours are concerned, I do once again vehemently disagree with you!
The link (http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic802.htm), One of the References, was just to show only to the silly and illiterate people like you otherwise any knowledgeable one can open the latest relevant books/journals and the other related literature to see the references which SURELY do REJECT and REFUTE your mediaeval approach. In addition, the bibliography in the end of the article provides sufficient help regarding their sources (studies etc).
Verily, you have done your best to leave no stone unturned to defend your whimsical thoughts, assumptions, obsessions, heteroclites, serving your folly and telling a lie one hundred times to conceal just one lie of yours but in vain. One must shudder to look at such stupidities and the blunders done on your part, in the twenty first century, Alas!
In addition, besides your whimsical thinking, you have provided an enough valuable data for a psychotherapist to analyze for the subsequent management. I think, after thought insertion and thought broadcasting only the third diagnostic stage is pending. By the way, why there are several contradictions between your own statements superadded by the flight of ideas and the grandiose delusions etc? See it yourself, if you are acquainted with these important parameters.
Remember, even if you have grey hair (everywhere); archus senilis in your eyes, your experience is no more than a big ZERO if not upto the mark and fulfilling all the prerequisite requirements. And also remember absolutely NO technical one would pay any heed and no one is going to be enchanted and dazzled with such a cunningness and hierarchy of yours which are hereby certainly evident and revealed to everyone.
Furthermore there is no harm if such people (elderly) are vigilant on their PSA preceded by the full clinical examination and more accordingly.
Having said like 2+2=5 and considering it nonesuch why don’t you dare to prove it…….?
Hence, summarizing, I do once again disagree vehemently with you and do put your whimsical and aberrant thinking, baseless assertion and the supposed exhibition deep into the abyss.
Remember, if you have NO evidence at all then do not be dogmatist and stop quoting your abhorrent and the trashy novel which proves to be no more than a useful tool for sarcasm.
Remember again, it is twenty first century. NO conjecture and NO illicit and inane thinking are admitted at all. So try to develop the proper connoisseurship, if you can.
Also remember, don’t try to beat about the bush and try to tell a lie one hundred times to conceal just one lie of yours.
