Other studies have also found an increased probability of overweight, obesity 6,22 and abdominal obesity according to WC 28,29 , among women with lower educational levels. As can be seen in the literature, it is generally expected that prevalence rates of excess weight and abdominal obesity will be lower among people with higher levels of education, on the basis that it is assumed that they know more about the importance of healthy habits 30 .…”
