摘      要：The study assessed the anthropometric indices and health status of adult women,aged 30-60 years in relation to their food consumption *** blood sugar level,blood pressure and body mass index of the respondents were determined.A cross sectional survey was used for this study,a clustered and simple random sampling selection technique was used in selecting the *** indices of weight and height were used to assess the body mass index(BMI),while waist hip ratio(WHR)was used to check for abdominal *** were considered overweight using world health organization standard(BMI at or above 25),or WHR above *** status was assessed by checking blood pressure and blood sugar *** pressure was taken twice using Omron sphygmomanometer with appropriate cuff off size and women were classified hypertensive if having a mean blood pressure above 120/80 *** glucometer was used to check for random blood sugar(RBS)levels,respondents were considered diabetics if they have a random sugar above 140 mg/*** frequency table was used to assess food consumption *** were said to have low consumption if consumed the food 1-3 times per week or if rarely or never *** is moderate if consumed 4-6 times per week and high,if consumed 7 times per week,or *** covered relevant data such as personal data,demographic *** showed that the women mean standard deviations for body mass index(BMI),waist hip ratio(WHR),random blood sugar(RBS),systolic blood pressure(SBP)and diastolic blood pressure(DBP)were 26.29±4.1,0.86±0.34,112.51±23.0,115.4±23.0 and 88.45±4.3 *** mean value for BMI was on the overweight *** correlation analysis showed that SBP,DBP,RBS and WHR had positive correlation with BMI with confidence level set at 0.05%(0.206,p=0.005;0.16,p=0.031;0.081,p=0.0021 and 0.148,p=0.000 respectively).WHR also had stronger correlation with RBS(0.90,p=0.278),systolic(0.272,p=0.002)
