Abstract :

Diabetes, rather than genetic predisposition factor is today predominantly becoming a lifestyle disease. Though there is direct link of Food intake and Energy expenditure with respect to metabolic syndrome diseases, Environmental factors of the built environment are the underlying reasons for the recent growth rate especially in urban areas. Urban populations are more prone to physical/mental health issues that are chronic, while increased stress is the cause for most of the health problems. Stress predominantly, through response of people in built environments is leading to physiological and psychological health issues influencing metabolic activity and hormonal imbalances. Broadly, the responses are due to perception of complex sensory inputs of information
