“…Even though the relationship between snacking and obesity or abdominal obesity is not clear, some studies have found that the increased consumption of energy-dense, high-sugar, high-fat meals, snacking has been regarded one of the key factors to obesity (44). Other studies failed to establish the relationship between snacking and obesity or abdominal obesity (45). This is because the type of snack practicedmatters.…”

Background: Abdominal obesity remains to be a major public health problem connected to an increased risk of disease, disability, poor quality of life, and increased health-care costs. It has been also related to metabolic syndrome, like hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other non-communicable diseases. Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of abdominal obesity and associated risk factors among female civil servants in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2021.Method and materials:An institutional based cross-sectional study was undertaken from 31th of March to 15th of April, 2021.A two stage random sampling techniquewas employed to select 451 study participants. Data was edited, coded and entered into Epi data version 3.1 and then exported to SPSS version 21 for analysis. Descriptive data analysis was used to present the distribution of study variable.Bivariable and multivariable analysis were used to assess the relationship between independent variables and abdominal obesity. The level of statistical significance was declared at p-value less than 0.05. Result: The prevalence of abdominal obesity by waist circumference was found to be 29.5 %(95% CI: 25.39-33.6%). In multivariable logistic regression model age group 29-37 years [AOR= 2.553, 95% CI: (1.237-5.271)], age group 38-46 years [AOR=4.027, 95% CI: (1.360-11.925)], age group 47-55 [AOR=7.008, 95% CI: (1.463-33.578)], being married [AOR= 4.736, 95% CI: (2.290-9.798)] consumption of meat 1-4 times per week[AOR=2.341, 95% CI: (1.215-4.509)], consumption of meat >=5 per week [ AOR= 5.257, 95% CI: (2.068-13.364)], and having lunch daily[AOR= 0.331, 95% CI: (0.136-0.804)] were significantly associated with abdomial obesity. Conclusion: Prevalence of abdominal by waist circumference was 29.5%..Age, being married, high consumption of meat, having lunch daily were identified as a risk factors for abdominal obesity. So, awareness creation about age induced abdominal obesity for older and middle age group is needed. Likewise, promotion to use diversified food rather than consuming meat based diet can reduce the risk of abdominal obesity in combination with other nutrition intervention methods.

Background Abdominal obesity increases the risk of cardio-metabolic diseases, disability, and poor quality of life, as well as health-care costs. It is a component of the metabolic syndrome, along with hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of abdominal obesity and associated risk factors among female civil servants in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2021. Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study was undertaken from March31st to April 15th, 2021.A multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select 478 study participants. Data was entered into EpiData version 3.1 and then exported to SPSS version 21 for analysis. A descriptive data analysis was used to present the distribution of study variables. Bivariable and multivariable analyses were used to assess the relationship between independent variables and abdominal obesity at 95% CI. The level of statistical significance was declared at a p-value less than 0.05. Result The prevalence of abdominal obesity defined by waist circumference was found to be29.5% (95% CI: 25.39-33.6%) and 32.8% (95% CI: 28.57%-37.03%) by waist hip ratio, respectively. Age group 29-37 years [AOR= 2.451, 95% CI: (1.199-5.013)], age group 38-46 years [AOR=3.807, 95% CI: (1.328-10.914)], age group 47-55 years [AOR=6.489, 95% CI: (1.367-30.805)], being married [AOR= 4.762, 95% CI: (2.321-9.721)],consumption of meat >=5 per week[ AOR= 4.764, 95% CI: (1.939-11.711)], having lunch daily[AOR= 0.388, 95% CI:(0.166-0.910)] and snack consumption [AOR=4.163, 95% CI:(1.503-11.534)] were significantly associated with abdominal obesity. Conclusion The prevalence of abdominal obesity as measured by waist circumference and waist hip ratio was found to be moderate and high, respectively. Age, being married, high consumption of meat, and having lunch daily were identified as associated with abdominal obesity. Healthy diet health education and nutrition intervention should be considered, with a focus on married, meat-consuming, and older age-group female civil servants.
