Dual-Malnutrition Burden in Lower Socioeconomic Status Women in Mumbai.
Dual-malnutrition burden has increased across all SES groups. This study aimed to record the prevalence of underweight and overweight in low-socioeconomic status women. The study included 100 women selected by the snowball sampling technique. Their anthropometric measurements were recorded. BMI and WHR were calculated. Mean BMI and WHR of subjects were 23.56 ± 4.82 kg/m2 and 0.82 ± 0.07 cm, respectively. In the lower-class, there were 18.2% underweight and 45.4% overweight/pre-obese subjects. In the upper-lower class. 49.3% subjects had WC≥80 cm and 42.3% subjects had WC≥80. Overweight/obesity was observed to over-power under-nutrition burden among the low-socioeconomic status subjects.
