Background and
Objective: Maternal
obesity has been associated with pregnancy outcome. Dietary pattern and food consumption may play an
important role in overweight and obese individuals. The objective of
this study was to determine the relationship
between dietary habits and obesity in women at reproductive aged in Kermanshah. Materials and Methods: In this research study, 154 overweight
and obese women (BMI>25 kg/m2) were recruited using
convenient sampling method. FFQ and dietary habit questionnaires were used for dietary
data collection. Body composition was assessed using bioelectric
impedance (Plusavis 333) and data was analysed by SPSS16. Results: The mean age, weight and BMI were
37.8+7.4 years, 76.8+9.9 kg and 31.6+3.7 kg/m2,
respectively. In addition, 27% of participants had WHR and percentage of body
fat (PBF) more than maximum cut-offs for women (0.85 and 40%, respectively).
The results showed that 76.6% of subjects had non-healthy eating dietary
habits. There was significant relationship between the amount of food
consumption and BMI and PBF (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that changing
food consumption patterns, coupled with decreasing physical activity, directly
contribute to overweight and
obesity. Nutrition awareness and education campaigns, combined with
exercise, seem to be most promising to combat the obesity
pandemic in developing countries.
