| Abstract |
Aim: This study aimed to determine theprevalence of overweight and obesity and to investigate the association between socioeconomic factors, health behaviors, health literacy, knowledge, attitude, physical and mental health status, and overweight and obesity among working age women in Myanmar.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,094 women aged 18 to 59 years old who were recruited by using multistage random samplingfrom 12 townships out of 6 districts among threestates/regions. A structured questionnaire was developed and applied to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity. Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) wasperformed todetermine the association between dependent and independent variablesaftercontrolling the effects of covariates presenting adjusted OR and 95% confidence interval.Results: More than half of the respondentswere with overweight and obesity (51.28%; 95%CI: 48.31-54.23). The multivariable analysis indicated that factors significantly associated with overweight and obesity included; aged31-59 years (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 1.72, 95%CI:1.22-2.40), living without family(AOR= 2.07, 95%CI:1.20-3.57), average monthly income ≥200,000MMK (AOR= 1.38, 95%CI:1.05-1.82), parity≥1 (AOR= 1.61, 95%CI: 1.17-2.23), high fat& protein consumption ≥5-days per week (AOR= 2.90, 95%CI:1.91-4.39), alcohol consumption (AOR= 2.53, 95%CI:1.91-3.36) andmoderate-severestress (AOR= 1.47, 95%CI:1.11-1.94).Conclusion: More than half of working age women werewithoverweight and obesity. Socioeconomicstatus, health behavior andstressare the factors behind over nutrition. The findings providerelevant evidenceto develop the appropriate policies and public health interventionsin ordertominimize the burdenof overweightand obesity. Likewise, it is anticipated that this outcome would support the prevention ofcardiovascularand other chronic diseases. |
