Study the Relationship between Religions with Obesity and Its Related Disorders

Abstract

Overweight and obesity in children and adolescents have been shown to be on the rise in recent years. This study examined the relationship between type 2 diabetes and obesity in various religious contexts. Randomly chosen children and teenagers between the ages of 10 and 19 were asked questions on various facets of epidemiology, and a physical examination was also conducted. The majority of the population in the research region is made up of Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, and Hindus. Sikhs and Hindus make up the majority of the population. It has been noted that compared to people of other religions, Hindus had higher rates of impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes, and obesity. Religion can often be used as a marker of ethnic group because of the close correlation between religious beliefs and cultural background. In an effort to determine the degree of genetic homogeneity through inbreeding, maintained environmental consistency, nutritional differences, etc., there has been a great deal of interest in religious diversity. To support the link between religions and obesity and related illnesses, more research is needed.
