Core Tip	As per government survey, leanness is widespread in Kokan but diabetes is also on the rise. We studied lean body mass in diabetics in our clinic. Lean individuals had lower body mass index but better percent muscle mass compared to overweight. This could be metabolic response to less caloric intake despite heavy physical activity. This mechanism needs to be clarified. The diabetic population in Kokan has near normal body composition and body mass index has considerable limitations. Therefore, the physiological process producing these deviations in body composition and its metabolic significance need further investigations on larger scale.
