摘要

Overweight and obesity in people </span></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">are</span></span></span><span><span><span style="font-family:""> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">epidemic</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> in North America and interna</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">tionally. In the United States, the number of overweight children and adolescents has doubled in the last two to three decades, and similar increasing rates are being observed worldwide, including developing countries as Bangladesh </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">where an increase in Westernization of behavioral and dietary lifestyles is evident. Human diseases associated with overweight and obesity are similar in</span><span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> children as in the adult population. The main purpose of this study was to examine the association </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">between</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> overweight and obesity with human disease and other factors in Bangladesh. We have attempted to estimate the relationship between </span></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">associated</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> variables by using the Pearson Chi-Square test. It also showed</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">how</span></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> important an individual variable is by itself. The study also employed a statistical </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">technique namely, logistic regression analysis which has been used to </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">find out the association of overweight and obesity with human disease and other </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">factors. We have seen that 16.96</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">%</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> people are overweight </span><span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">and 4.14</span><span style="font-f
