Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Aims: To determine the rate of overweight/obesity, and their correlation with diet quality among women aged 18-49 in an urban district at Ho Chi Minh City.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 284 women aged 18-49 living in District 6, Ho Chi Minh City from March to April 2024. Data were collected through direct interviews with participants using a semi-structured questionnaire and directly measured anthropometric indexes. Overweight and obese were evaluated by using BMI according to the IDI-WPRO standard.
Results: The rate of overweight and obesity was 19,7% and 20,1%, respectively. Factors associated to overweight/obesity included age, religion, ethnicity, marital status, Global Dietary Recommendations (GDR) scores and GDR-Limit score.
Conclusion: The trend of overweight and obesity was increasing in the urban and it was associated with diet quality scores. Therefore, a comprehensive nutritional assessment and dietary intervention are needed for reproductive-aged women, along with further studies to improve diet appropriately.
