Abstract

Background: Obesity and especially women's obesity is increasingly becoming a health problem in all countries, including low-income countries.


Objective: To assess the prevalence and associated factors of obesity among women of childbearing age in the communes of Bamako in Mali.


Methodology: Quantitative and analytical study using a questionnaire. The population of this study concerned obese women of childbearing age from the Communes of Bamako in Mali.


Results: This study included 384 women of childbearing age, more than half (59.3%) of whom were over 35 years of age. The prevalence of overweight among women of reproductive age in the district of Bamako was 30% and the prevalence of obesity was 27% at the time of the survey. The results reported a statistically significant relationship between body mass index and the following variables: age (p=0.04); education (p=0.03), consumption of sugary drinks (p=0.001); sleep duration (p=0.04), exercise (p=0.03) and history of obesity in the family (p=0.01).


Conclusion: This study provided clear evidence of an increase in overweight and obesity among urban women in the six communes of the Bamako district of Mali. It is therefore important to develop health promotion actions, focusing on healthy eating, physical activity, weight reduction in the district of Bamako, especially in the urban areas of Mali.
