AB  - This study attempts to understand the factors associated with chronic energy 
      deficiency (CED) and overweight/obesity together with change in CED and 
      overweight/obesity among urban Indian women during 1998-2006. Both National 
      Family Health Survey (NFHS) 1998-1999 and NFHS 2005-2006 data sets were used. The 
      standard cutoff points for both CED (BMI < 18.5 kg/m(2)) and overweight/obesity 
      (BMI >/= 23 kg/m(2)) were considered. The Phi and Cramer's V tests and predicted 
      probabilities were used to fulfill the study objective. Results indicate an 
      almost 3% reduction in CED and a 6% increase in overweight/obesity during 
      1998-2006. The probability of CED has reduced among nonliterate women and women 
      belonging to the poorest wealth quintile; on the other hand, the likelihood of 
      being overweight/obese has increased among women with high school education and 
      above and women belonging to the richest wealth quintile. Interventions to 
      promote physical activities and nutritional awareness programs, which are 
      effective in addressing nutritional problems, have been proposed.
