Abstract
Conventionally known for malnutrition, Indians now frequently report obesity and its
consequences. Diets have varied from a traditional patternto foods high in fat, salt, and sugar (HFSS).
This cross-sectional study was carried out on adults of urban Vadodara during 2017.Data concerning
the socio-economic status, medical history, anthropometry, physical activity, dietary pattern, food
purchasing pattern, quantitative food frequency, and three days 24-hour dietary recall were obtained.
Anthropometric measurements indicated that 18% of subjects were overweight, 40% obese and 90%
were abdominally obese. The majority of the respondents were physically inactive. Respondents
reported strong family history of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Meal skipping was
persistent amongthe overweight and obese people. Almost all the respondents consumedhigh in fat,
salt and sugar (HFSS) foods with wavering frequency with the predominant impetus being taste. Most
frequently consumed HFSS foods were wafers, puffs, samosa, ice cream, papad, andsoft drink. The
3 days 24-hour dietary recall conceded that energy intake escalated by 203 kcal during weekends
compared to weekdays. The mean per capita intake of oil, salt, and sugar was 56.15g, 12.69g, and
32.05g, respectively.Consumption of HFSS foods was particularly exorbitant among overweight and
obese subjects.
