In Chattisgarh, every third individual in the age group was malnourished

Half the Indians aged 45 years and above have a desirable body mass index (BMI) while 21 per cent are underweight, 21 per cent are overweight and 7 per cent are obese, according to a health ministry report released on January 6, 2021.

Under-nutrition was reported more among people in this age group living in the rural areas and a higher proportion of women were overweight or obese than men, the report said.

The first Longitudinal Ageing Study of India surveyed more than 72,000 older adults across India's states and union territories (UT), except Sikkim, between April 2017 and December 2018. In September 2020, the National Institute of Nutrition raised the ideal weight of Indians by 5kg to 65kg for men and 55kg for women.

The southern states, along with Maharashtra and Gujarat, had a higher prevalence of over-nutrition than under-nutrition among those aged 45 and above.
