Background
Globally, overweight is rapidly becoming one of the most important medical and public health problems. Adolescent obesity is a multisystem disease with potentially devastating consequences that persist into adulthood. However, there is a paucity of available information regarding the adolescent overweight and obesity in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area. Methods A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to April/2015 among 546 adolescents. Study participants were selected using a multi-stage, stratified random sampling method. An interviewer administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of overweight and obesity at 95% confidence intervals. Results The mean dietary diversity score of school adolescents was 6.97 ± 1.15. Cereal based diets (99.6%) and vegetables (73.9%) are the two common foods of adolescents. The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 13.3%. Overweight/Obesity was significantly associated with being a female (AOR = 3.57 [95% CI:1.289.9]), attending private schools (AOR = 7.53 [2.5122.3]), lack of paternal education (AOR = 5.57 [95% CI:1.5320.26]), wealthy households (AOR = 3 [95% CI:1.098.26]) and not being a vegetarian (AOR = 9.23 [95% CI:1.6850.8]). Adolescents who are physically inactive (AOR = 3.7 [95% CI:1.0613.02]) and those with sedentary lifestyles (AOR = 3.64 [95% CI:1.399.5]) were more obese compared to their counter peers. Conclusions The proportion of overweight/obesity among school adolescent was considerably high. Being a female, learning in private school, high household economic status, not being a vegetarian and having a sedentary life were significantly associated with overweight/obesity. Practice implications Findings of this study can be used to guide the development of programs aimed at preventing overweight/obesity in Ethiopia by informing policymakers and other stakeholders about this emerging nutrition-related problem among school adolescents. |
