“…Age-related differences in waist-hip ratio in both men and women were also reported by [20]. From Tables 4 and 5 positive correlations was observed between body mass index, waist circumference and waist-hip ratio in men and women [21] reported in his study that only in male were waist-hip ratio and body mass index significantly correlated. So, relationship between other parameters such as; BMI vs. WHR and WHR vs. WC were not statistically correlated.…”

Introduction: There is a global rise in the prevalence of obesity in both developed and developing countries reaching epidemic levels.Objective: This study aims at determining the prevalence of obesity among urban and rural dwellers in Nigeria. Methods:The study was a cross sectional study, 400 subjects were selected (198 males and 202 females) through a systematic random sampling procedure. A pre tested semi structured questionnaire was administered to obtain sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle behaviors, and anthropometric indices. Anthropometric data were measured by standard methods. The body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist hip ratio and total body fat percentage were determined. Descriptive statistics, χ2 and correlation were performed on the data at 5% level of significance. Results:The mean BMI was 24.2±4.43. The prevalence of obesity in the urban and rural areas were 16.5% and 4.0% respectively (p<0.05). The prevalence of obesity was lower among participants who were active than those who lived a sedentary lifestyle (6.0% vs14.4%; p< 0.05). Those who consumed alcohol had higher BMI than those who do not consume alcohol (12.0 vs 9.9; p<0.05). About 32.3% men from urban vs. 10.2% from rural had waist circumferences ≥ 94cm (p<0.05). Similar trends were also observed among the women. There was also a strong correlation between the BMI, WC and WHR in both the male and female participants. Conclusion:Obesity is significantly (P<0.05) prevalent in the urban area than in rural area.

Latar Belakang: Kebiasaan merokok berdampak pada kualitas diet, aktivitas fisik dan status gizi. Rokok mengandung nikotin yang dapat menurunkan nafsu makan dan mengakibatkan penurunan kemampuan kardiorespirasi sehingga mengganggu aktivitas fisik seseorang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan kualitas diet dan aktivitas fisik menurut status gizi pada perokok dewasa awal.Metode: Rancangan penelitian ini adalah cross sectional dengan jumlah sampel 59 subjek yang berusia 20-24 tahun. Data meliputi karakteristik subjek, kualitas diet diperoleh dengan metode Semi Quantitative-Food Frequency Questionniare (SQ-FFQ), aktivitas fisik diperoleh dengan metode International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), dan status gizi diukur menggunakan lingkar pinggang dan/atau Rasio Lingkar Pinggang Panggul (RLPP). Analisis data dengan uji chi-square, fisher exact.Hasil: Rerata skor kualitas diet subjek yaitu 40,4±8,7 tergolong kualitas diet rendah. Kualitas diet rendah pada subjek digambarkan dengan rendahnya asupan sayur dan buah, tingginya asupan total lemak, lemak jenuh, kolesterol, natrium, rendahnya skor rasio makronutrien dan rasio asam lemak. Rerata aktivitas fisik subjek yaitu 2569,5±1806,5 METs/min/minggu termasuk dalam aktivitas fisik sedang. Hasil uji perbedaan diperoleh kualitas diet menurut status gizi (p=0,564), aktivitas fisik menurut status gizi (p=0,019). Simpulan: Tidak ada perbedaan signifikan kualitas diet menurut status gizi pada perokok dewasa awal (p>0,05). Ada perbedaan signifikan aktivitas fisik menurut status gizi pada perokok dewasa awal (p<0,05).
