AB  - OBJECTIVE: Obesity/overweight is a major preventable cause of morbidity 
      responsible for various health disorders. Thus, the present investigation aimed 
      to estimate the prevalence rates of obesity and its related risk factors among 
      the Saudi community in the Hai'l Region. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this study, 
      2,438 participants were randomly recruited in the Hai'l region during a 
      cross-sectional survey. Participants were included based on their body mass index 
      (BMI). Only those with BMI >25 weight (kg)/height (m)2 were included. RESULTS: 
      The overall prevalence rates of overweight and obesity were 61% and 39%. The 
      prevalence rates of males' overweight, obesity, and morbid obesity were 69%, 19%, 
      and 12%, respectively. The prevalence rates of overweight, obesity and morbid 
      obesity among females were 50%, 28%, and 22%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: 
      Overweight, obesity, and morbid obesity are prevalent in Hai'l region, Northern 
      Saudi Arabia. Overweight/obesity is more prevalent among women, rural 
      inhabitants, less educated people, and adults aged 26-40 years. Hypertension, 
      type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are significantly 
      obesity-associated risk factors in Saudi Arabia.
