The survey mostly covered women, and the highest overweight percentage among women was reported from districts large parts of which have a semi-hilly terrain with low hills and plains – Una (41 per cent), followed by Hamirpur, Mandi and Kangra. Districts comprising middle and high hills generally recorded lower overweight percentage. Chamba and Sirmaur (23 per cent) reported the lowest overweight percentage followed by Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti.
“Overweight is understandably higher in the low hills and plain areas where each house and farm is connected by road and the slopes are not too steep. In the higher hills, road connectivity is limited due to which people have to walk much more and over steeper slopes,” remarked Sunil Thakur, a university student in Shimla.
