Abstract
Consumption of obesogenic diet coupled with sedentary lifestyles is some of the major culprit to the development of obesity which invariably leads to cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. The effect of food consumption pattern on the occurrences of obesity and cardiovascular disease among market women in Owo was accessed. A total of 151 market women were randomly selected from three different markets in Owo metropolis. Semi-structured questionnaire was used for the collection of data. Respondent nutritional status was accessed using anthropometry indices and dietary assessment via 24-hour dietary recall. Findings showed that the mean waist circumference, hip circumference, BMI and waist-hip ratio of the women were 90.7�?卤12.25 cm, 102.97�?卤1.02 cm, 26.48�?卤4.74 kg/ m2 and 0.88�?卤0.54 respectively. Respondents that were overweight were 38.4% while 20.6% were obese. About 5.3% were hypertensive. There was significance relationship at p<0.05 between waist-hip ratio, BMI and blood pressure of the market women. Energy intake of the respondent was 101% of RDA while protein intake was 132% of RDA. However, vitamin A, E, C and B6 were less than RDA as they were 44%, 28%, 52% and 62% respectively. Also calcium was less than RDA at 48%. The prevalence of overweight and obesity shows increased risk of the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and this trend should be prevented.Biography
