Abstract

Objective: The purpose of the research was to assess the the prevalence and the risk factors of obesity among 1549 years old women in Osmangazi Seher-Şükrü Ergil Education and Research Health Center. Materials and Methods: It was cross-sectional research. A sample of 246 women was selected among 15-49 years old women through household cards by using systematic sampling method. Body Mass Index (BMI) was used as a criterion for obesity. Women with BMI 30.0 kg/m were called as obese and women BMI between 25.0029.99 kg/m were called as overweight. Variance analysis, Kappa Test, Paired Samples t-test, Chi-square, and Logistic Regression were done. Results: The prevalence of obesity (BMI>30kg/m2) was found 24.4%. The prevalence of overweight and obese (BMI>25kg/m2) was found 50.8%. Obesity was found increasing with age, especially after 30 years old (Odds Ratio=OR:3.49, 95% Confidence Interval=CI: 1.27-9.56); with marriage (OR=12.58, 95% CI: 1.52-104.28); withmorethan4delivery(OR=5.27, 95%CI: 1.97-14.09), withnon-smoking(OR=3.26, 95%CI: 1.49-7.11)and with a first degree obese relative (OR=3.89, 95% CI: 1.86-8.12). Additionally, women knew their own weight more than ownheight. Even they were overweight or obese, a few of them were trying to get thinner. Most of them decide the slimming method by themselves and did not get any idea of a specialist. Conclusion: Obesity is an important public health problem for reproductive age women in an urban area in İzmir. Two of every woman in the area were overweight and four of them were obese.
