AB  - BACKGROUND & AIMS: The overall national increase in the prevalence of overweight 
      and obesity has emerged among university students in Bangladesh. Though, poor 
      dietary habits and lifestyle is quite common among university students, their 
      dietary nutrient intake level, obesity prevalence and potential risk factors has 
      hitherto given little priority. This study aimed to understand the prevalence and 
      factors associated with general and abdominal obesity and level of dietary 
      nutrient intake among university students in Bangladesh. METHODS: Data from 320 
      unselected tertiary level students (81.6% males, 18.4% females; average age 
      22.7+/-3.0, BMI 22.4+/-3.1 and waist-hip ratio (WHR) 0.88 +/- 0.1) was collected 
      randomly, in a single visit, from Islamic University, Kushtia, Bangladesh. Basic 
      demographic and anthropometric information were collected. Twenty-four hour (24H) 
      dietary recall and food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to collect dietary 
      nutrient level retrospectively. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, t-test, 
      ANOVA, and binomial logistic regression analysis were done. RESULTS: Around 3% 
      and 42% student were reported to be obese and overweight respectively. Whereas 
      abdominal obesity was prevalent among  approximately 52% and more than 67% of student were 
      reportedly obese/overweight by either BMI or WHR or WHtR category. Energy and 
      carbohydrate (CHO) intake were reported to be significantly higher (P < 0.05) 
      among overweight who born by C-section delivery and were fed formula milk than 
      those were normal weight and born by vaginal-birth and were breastfed. The 
      overweight individual with a history of preterm birth was reported to intake 
      significantly higher (P < 0.05) carbohydrates compared to normal-weight 
      individuals with a history of term birth. While total fat intake was 
      significantly higher (P < 0.05) among overweight individuals with their mother 
      had gestational diabetes than those with normal weight individuals with mother 
      without gestational diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: General and abdominal obesity is 
      common among university students and possibly associated with mode of birth, 
      gestational duration, gestational diabetes, and breastfeeding practice.
