TI  - Overweight and obesity among women by economic stratum in urban India.
PG  - 79-88
AB  - Using data of the third round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 
      2005-2006, this study examined the prevalence of overweight and obesity among 
      women from different economic strata in urban India. The study used a separate 
      wealth index for urban India constructed using principal components analysis 
      (PCA). The result shows that prevalence of overweight and obesity is very high in 
      urban areas, more noticeably among the non-poor households. Furthermore, 
      overweight and obesity increase with age, education, and parity of women. The 
      results of multinomial logistic regression show that non-poor women are about 2 
      and 3 times more at risk of being overweight and obese respectively. Marital 
      status and media exposure are the other covariates associated positively with 
      overweight and obesity. Thus, the growing demand which now appears before the 
      Government or urban health planners is to address this rising urban epidemic with 
      equal importance as given to other issues in the past.
