Obesity was found increasing with age, especially after 30 years old (Odds Ratio=OR:3.49, 95% Confidence Interval=CI: 1.27-9.56); with marriage (OR=12.58, 95% CI: 1.52-104.28); withmorethan4delivery(OR=5.27, 95%CI: 1.97-14.09), withnon-smoking(OR=3.26, 95%CI: 1.49-7.11)and with a first degree obese relative (OR=3.89, 95% CI: 1.86-8.12). Additionally, women knew their own weight more than ownheight. Even they were overweight or obese, a few of them were trying to get thinner.
