बढ़ते शहरीकरण के प्रभाव में ग्रामीण भारत में बढ़ता हुआ मोटापा
राष्ट्रीय परिवार स्वास्थ्य सर्वेक्षण (एनएफएचएस) 2015-16 के आंकड़ों के अनुसार भारत की लगभग 20% जनसंख्या मोटापे से ग्रस्त है। यह लेख बताता है कि देश में मोटापे की प्रवृत्ति ने इसके स्वाभाविक आर्थिक परिवर्तन का ही अनुसरण किया है जिसके अंतर्गत शहरीकरण में वृद्धि ग्रामीण विकास को प्रभावित करती है। इससे ज्ञात होता है कि शहर के आसपास के गांवों पर पड़ने वाले शहरीकरण के प्रभाव का दायरा जब एक किलोमीटर बढ़ता है तो लगभग 3,000 ग्रामीण महिलाओं में मोटापे में वृद्धि होती है।
