Abstract

The study included 77 household adult women from Mecheri, Salem District, Tamil Nadu.Women with
risk of obesity and obese women were recruited for conducting the study. Data on General information, socio
economic status, anthropometric measurements and nutritional profile were collected using interview schedule. The
results revealed that overall, 65 % of the adult women identified as overweight and obesity. Age, small family and
income status were found to be risk factors of Obesity. Positive significant correlation was observed between the Body
Mass Index and Waist Hip Ratio of the selected obese subjects. Data on assessment of the nutrient intake against the
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) indicated that the nutrient intake was significantly (P<0.01) higher than
RDA. A low degree (less than 0.5) and non significant correlation was observed between nutrient intake and
anthropometric measurements like weight, waist and hip circumference and waist/hip ratio except body mass index.
