Overall, 20.1% of the women were underweight [body mass index (BMI) m2,] and 36.3% were overweight, or had class I or class II obesity (BMI ≥23.0 kg/m2,). In adjusted multinomial logistic regression, younger age, lower education, lower wealth status, not eating daily fruits, vegetables, fried food, belonging to the scheduled tribe and tobacco use were associated with underweight, while older age, higher education, higher wealth, belonging to other backward class or other, urban residence, daily fruit consumption, daily fried food consumption, having hypertension, heart disease and high or very high blood glucose levels were associated with overweight or obesity. Belonging to the scheduled caste and tobacco use were negatively associated with overweight or obesity.Conclusions: A high dual burden of both underweight and overweight or obesity was observed among women in India. Sociodemographic and health variables were identified as risk factors for both underweight and overweight or obesity, which can be utilized in informing intervention strategies.Keywords: women, underweight, overweight, obesity, health variables, India Pengpid SPeltzer KDove Medical Pressarticlewomenunderweightoverweightobesityhealth variablesIndiaSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 12, Pp 647-653 (2019) |
