AB  - AIMS: National Family Health Survey (NFHS) conducted in India provide nationally 
      comparable data on socio-demographic characteristics and anthropometric 
      estimates. Present study was conducted to examine the prevalence of Indian adults 
      who are living with overweight/obesity, their correlates, and trends observed 
      between the last two rounds of the NFHS 2005-06 to 2015-16). METHODS: 
      Socio-demographic characteristics and anthropometric estimates of respondents 
      from NFHS round III & IV were analysed. Asian cut-offs were used for obesity 
      classification. Of the total 198,754 and 811,808 eligible respondents, adults >/=18 
      years of age were included in the analysis. Prevalence and correlates were 
      presented after taking into account stratification, clustering and sampling 
      weights. GIS mapping was done to depict regional variations. RESULTS: Prevalence 
      of men and women living with overweight/obesity were observed to be 38.4% and 
      36.2% respectively. Wide variations were observed in prevalence across the 
      regions of India. Results of multivariate analysis showed that the strongest 
      predictors for being overweight or obese were older age, currently in union, 
      higher education, richest wealth quintile, and living in urban areas. CONCLUSION: 
      The present study highlights the rising prevalence across the urban and rural 
      locations and has implications for policy change based on the prevalence 
      estimates.
