Abstract

Background: To investigate the association between socio-economic status and OBESITY in non-menopause women aged 15- 49 years in Tehran, IRAN.Methods: This study was based on IRAN NATIONAL HEALTH SURVEY conducted in 1999. OBESITY is defined as a Body Mass Index over ³30. Constructed area (per-person), educational level and job are considered as factors indicating the socioeconomic status. The results have been adjusted for age and mental health using univariate and multiple logistic regression. Results: A total number of 2859 non-menopause women aged 15-49 yr from urban areas of Tehran have been studied. The prevalence of OBESITY and overweight were 16.4% and 28.4% respectively. Women aged 30-49 yr had greater risk of OBESITY (adjusted OR= 2.53, 95%CI: 1.99-3.20). Comparing with students, homemakers and employees were at higher risk of OBESITY (adjusted OR= 4.33, 95%CI: 2.47-7.76, adjusted OR= 2.82, 95%CI: 1.41-5.63 respectively). Those with >= 12 years of education had lower risk of OBESITY compared to illiterate women (adjusted OR=.57, 95%CI: 0.38-0.86). Conclusion: The role of social factors is dominant over economic factor on OBESITY. This fact should be considered as one of the most important research priorities in future researches.
