This study aims to determine and compare the prevalence and correlates of obesity and abdominal obesity in India among participants aged 18-54 years. Data were acquired from the nationally representative National Family Health Survey 2019-21. Age and sex standardized descriptive analyses were conducted to determine the prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity, and multivariable multilevel logistic regression was performed to identify the factors associated with these conditions. Gender-specific analyses were also conducted. The sample weight was adjusted throughout. The final sample size for this study was 698,286. The prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity was 13.85% and 57.71%, respectively. Older age, being female, increased educational status and increased wealth index, being married at any point, and residing in an urban area all increased the odds of both obesity and abdominal obesity. Being a resident of the North zone and having a current alcohol intake increased the odds of abdominal obesity. On the other hand, being a resident of the South zone of India increased the odds of obesity. Targeting these high-risk groups can be a strategy for public health promotion programs.
本研究旨在确定并比较印度18至54岁参与者中肥胖症和腹型肥胖症的患病率及其相关因素。数据来自具有全国代表性的2019 - 2021年国家家庭健康调查。进行了年龄和性别标准化描述性分析以确定肥胖症和腹型肥胖症的患病率，并进行多变量多水平逻辑回归以识别与这些情况相关的因素。还进行了针对性别的分析。整个过程中对样本权重进行了调整。本研究的最终样本量为698,286。肥胖症和腹型肥胖症的患病率分别为13.85%和57.71%。年龄较大、女性、教育程度提高、财富指数增加、曾在任何时候结婚以及居住在城市地区均增加了肥胖症和腹型肥胖症的患病几率。居住在北部地区且目前饮酒增加了腹型肥胖症的患病几率。另一方面，居住在印度南部地区增加了肥胖症的患病几率。针对这些高危人群可以作为公共卫生促进项目的一项策略。
