Abstract
Overweight and obesity has threatened the modern world not only in developed countries but equally in developing countries like Nepal. The study therefore aimed to assess the risk factors associated with overweight and obesity among reproductive aged women residing in Rajbiraj Municipality. A cross-sectional descriptive study was done on reproductive aged females (15-49 years) using a structured questionnaire. Weight, height, waist circumference and hip circumference were measured to determine indicators related to overweight and obesity. The anthropometric measurements were then analysed using WHO and IDF criteria. Microsoft excel 2007 and SPSS version 20 were used to analyze data. Chi square test was used to analyze the factors associated with BMI, WC and WHR cut-offs. The results showed a high prevalence of overweight and obesity in reproductive aged females residing in Rajbiraj. Hence, concerned agencies should launch appropriate programs to combat the factors.
超重和肥胖不仅在发达国家威胁着现代世界，在尼泊尔等发展中国家也同样如此。因此，该研究旨在评估居住在拉吉比拉市的育龄妇女中与超重和肥胖相关的危险因素。采用结构化问卷对育龄女性(15-49岁)进行横断面描述性研究。测量体重、身高、腰围和臀围，以确定与超重和肥胖有关的指标。然后使用WHO和IDF标准分析人体测量值。采用Microsoft excel 2007和SPSS version 20对数据进行分析。采用卡方检验分析BMI、WC和WHR截止值的相关因素。结果显示，居住在Rajbiraj的育龄妇女中超重和肥胖的患病率很高。因此，有关机构应该推出适当的计划来对抗这些因素。
