Abstract
Obesity carries significant health implications for both chronic diseases and mortality. The importance of obesity as a health problem in the US is an increasing evident. Studies undertaken in metropolitan cities of Pakistan had revealed an increased incidence of obesity in school children. The lives of medical students are shaped by work, college and social environment that promote inactivity and overeating, leading them to become obese. This study was carried out to evaluate knowledge and attitude of medical students regarding obesity.
