*** represents significance at 1% significance level.

Delta-Method standard errors are reported in parentheses.

^# Difference is ME(Overweight and Obese) – ME(Non-Overweight).

Controls include individual and household characteristics, behavioural risk factors and eating habits.

Individual and household characteristics include age, gender, education, marital status, bank account, household characteristics such as wealth quintile, religion, caste, insurance, below poverty line, family structure, number of household members, region and time since last ate and drank.

Behavioural risk factors include smoking cigarette, smoking pipe, chewing tobacco, snuffing, smoking cigar, chewing paan or gutkha, chewing paan with tobacco and drinking alcohol.

Eating habits include daily or weekly consumption of fried foods and aerated drinks.
