- W2766515650 abstract "Overweight and Obesity are international social problems which increasingly have become focus of public Health concern. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Healthcare personnel and prevalence factors contributing to its development. We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study. A total of 180 out of 349 health personnel were randomly selected and participated in the study. We interviewed participants on socio-demographic, dietary habit, exercise profile, measured their weight, height and fasting blood sugar using interviewer administered structured questionnaire. Data abstracted was managed in EPI info 7 and analysis was done. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 31.1 and 31.7 percent respectively. While 81 percent of participants were females, the most prevalent age group among participants was 25-29 years. Thirty-nine percent daily patronize fast food and 42.8 percent don’t exercise regularly. Among those who exercise (57.2 percent), exercises include jogging, brisk walking, running and aerobics. Whiles 4.4 percent had been diagnosed of diabetics, 24.4 percent had family history of diabetics. This study underscore the high prevalence of overweight and obesity (62.8 percent) among the Healthcare personnel.
