Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS

Overweight/obesity is increasing at an alarming rate throughout the world and has now become a global epidemic. According to a recent research report, the burden of obesity is increasing in developing countries; however, no significant reduction has been seen in developed countries over the past few decades. Furthermore, there is limited information about overweight/obesity. The main objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of overweight/obesity among reproductive age women.

METHODS

A total of 866 reproductive women participated in the study. The collected data were coded and entered into Epi-Data version 4.6.0 and exported to STATA version 17 software packages for analysis. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with overweight/obesity among reproductive age women. Variables with a -value < 0.2 in the bivariate analysis was further fitted into multivariate analysis for controlling the possible effect of confounders, and finally the variables that were a -value of < 0.05 on the bases of odd ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was considered significantly associated with overweight/obesity and identified based on odds ratio (OR), with 95% confidence interval (CI) and -value ( < 0.05).

RESULT

The study's response rate was 96% and the overall prevalence of overweight/obesity was 21% [95% CI: 18.00, 24.00]. Being parity [AOR = 3.75, 95% CI: 2.06, 6.81], parity (≥ 2) [AOR = 8.16, 95% CI: 4.63, 14.37], late age at menarche (≥ 14 years) [AOR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.13, 2.41], and ever used family planning [AOR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.01, 2.23] were factors significantly associated overweight/obesity.

CONCLUSION

In this study, overweight/obesity was high. Late age of menarche, parity, and ever using family planning were factors affecting overweight/obesity in reproductive age women. Healthcare workers should raise awareness among reproductive-age women about the impacts of overweight/obesity.

摘要

背景与目的

超重/肥胖在全球正以惊人的速度增长，现已成为一种全球流行病。根据最近的一份研究报告，发展中国家的肥胖负担在增加；然而，在过去几十年里，发达国家并未出现显著下降。此外，关于超重/肥胖的信息有限。本研究的主要目的是评估育龄妇女中超重/肥胖的患病率及相关因素。

方法

共有866名育龄妇女参与了本研究。收集到的数据进行编码后录入Epi - Data 4.6.0版本，并导出到STATA 17软件包进行分析。采用二元逻辑回归来确定育龄妇女中超重/肥胖的相关因素。在双变量分析中P值<0.2的变量进一步纳入多变量分析，以控制混杂因素的可能影响，最后基于比值比（OR）及95%置信区间（CI）且P值<0.05的变量被认为与超重/肥胖显著相关，并根据比值比（OR）、95%置信区间（CI）和P值（<0.05）进行确定。

结果

本研究的应答率为96%，超重/肥胖的总体患病率为21%[95%CI：18.00，24.00]。生育次数[AOR = 3.75，95%CI：2.06，6.81]、生育次数（≥2次）[AOR = 8.16，95%CI：4.63，14.37]、初潮年龄较晚（≥14岁）[AOR = 1.65，95%CI：1.13，2.41]以及曾经使用过计划生育措施[AOR = 1.50，95%CI：1.01，2.23]是与超重/肥胖显著相关的因素。
