This is a descriptive cross -sectional community based study, was carried out among adults in Mayo area in Khartoum State -Sudan, aims to estimate the prevalence of and to identify the possible risk factors associated with overweight and obesity among adults. Data were collected from 397 participants (57.7% females and 42.3% males). Using a pre tested structured questionnaire to collect sociodemographic characteristics such as (Sex, age group, marital status, monthly income, educational level, and family history of obesity), some possible risk factor such as (Number of meals per day, snacks, watching TV, sleeping, using appetizers, stress and physical exercise) and anthropometric measurement of weight and height to calculate the BMI. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among adults was 20.2% and 10.1% respectively. The results showed the overweight and obesity were more prevalent among females than males 25.3%, 13.1% and 13.5%, 5.3% respectively (P = 0.0001). The finding showed there was statistical association between overweight /or obesity and marital status, educational level, monthly income, number of meals snacks) P. values = (0.0011, 0.0001, 0.022, 0.0001 and 0.0004) respectively. Also physical activity, watching TV more than 3hours per day, using appietizers and sleeping for more than eight hours per day were considered as factors associated with overweight and obesity P. values = (0.011, 0.008, 0.0001 and 0.0001) respectively. The results showed there is no statistical relationship between age group and family history (P > 0.05).

36 37 38 Non-communicable diseases are multifactorial including genetic, physiological, environmental 39 behavioral factors. Our research aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with Non-40 communicable diseases in two administrative units of Khartoum State. 41 Methods 42 A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in two administrative units of Khartoum State 43 on a sample of 132 participants selected through multi-stage sampling technique. Firstly, a stratified 44 random sampling technique was used to select Alshohada/Soba out of the six administrative units of 45 Khartoum locality (mode of living was urban). In Jabaal Awliya locality of four administrative units, Al 46 Jabal (with urban and rural mode of living) was selected. At second level, 50 households were selected 47 in each of the two administrative units through the geographical information system to obtain a 48 representative spatial distribution of households in each of the administrative areas. At third level, in 49each of the household selected participants experiencing at least one NCD were included in the study 50 after obtaining his/her verbal well informed consent. The data collected were computerized through Epi 51 Info 7 and analyzed through SPSS 23. The data were firstly summarized numerically and graphically. 52Association among variables were determined through chi-square tests and ANOVA. A multi-logistic 53 regression was conducted to estimate the risk factors associated to NCDs. All statistical tests were 54 considered significant when p < 0.05. 55 Results 56Our findings revealed that NCDs prevailed with an overall prevalence of 24/100,000 population. Of the 57 fifteen risk factors associated to NCDs in the two administrative units, seven were statistically associated 58 (p < 0.05) to NCDs. 59 Discussion 60In our research the risk factors statistically associated with NCDs were age and gender of the 61 participants, their profession, educational level, physical activities, follow-up visits and having meals 62 outside home. In conclusion NCDs were public health priorities with particular attention to diabetes and 63 hypertension to avoid premature deaths. 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), also named chronic diseases, are multifactorial including genetic, 77 physiological, environmental and behavioral factors as reported by the World Health Organization [1]. 78 WHO reported that globally 41 million deaths occurred yearly due to NCDs with 15 million of those 79 losing life were aged 30 to 69 years; over 85% of these premature deaths occurred in low-and middle-80 income countries. The four leading killers accounting for 80% of all premature NCD deaths were 81 cardiovascular diseases (17.9 million death/year), cancers (9.0 million), respiratory diseases (3.9 82 million), and diabetes (1.6 million). The risk of dying from NCDs increases with tobacco use, physical 83 inactivity, the harmful use of alcohol and unhealthy diets. By reducing these risk factors, WHO 84 challenge...

Background Currently, adult overweight/obesity affects a high proportion of the population in low and middle-income countries, mostly in urban areas. Although some studies have been conducted on overweight/obesity in Ethiopia, most of them have focused on school children and adolescents, and there is limited evidence of overweight/obesity among adults at the community level. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the magnitude of overweight/obesity and risk factors among adults in Welkite town, Southern Ethiopia. Methods A Community-based cross-sectional study was done among 524 adults aged 18 and more years in Welkite town, Southern Ethiopia, from February through March 2020. A multistage sampling technique was undertaken to recruit study participants. An interviewer-guided structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Overweight or obesity was identified using body mass index. The bivariate and multivariate analyses were employed to see an association using binary logistic regression. Results The magnitude of overweight and obesity was 22.2% (95% CI: 0.19, 0.26). Being female (AOR = 2.40, 95% CI: 1.34, 4.27), age group 30–47 years (AOR = 3.26, 95% CI: 1.52, 6.97) and 48–66 years (AOR = 2.56, 95% CI: 1.07, 6.08), average monthly income (AOR = 2.64, 95% CI: 1.51, 4.60), had own transport (AOR = 2.48, 95% CI: 1.03, 5.93), eating meat ≥ four times per week (AOR = 3.33, 95% CI: 1.03, 10.74), not involve vigorous-intensity activity (AOR = 2.96, 95% CI: 1.55, 5.64), spent sitting or reclining ≥181 minutes per day (AOR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.08, 3.26), and consuming alcohol (AOR = 2.23, 95% CI: 1.29, 3.82) were risks for overweight and obesity. Conclusions The magnitude of overweight and obesity among adults was high. Factors such as being female, increasing age, physical inactivity, having own transportation, high average monthly income, eating meat, sitting or reclining more and equal to 181+ minutes per day, and consumption of alcohol increased the risk of overweight and obesity significantly. Hence, preventive interventions focusing on females, age groups of 30-66yrs, encouraging Physical activity, reducing meat frequency, and reducing alcohol consumption are essential to prevent the emergence of adulthood overweight/obesity.
