ABSTRACT
This research was aimed to identify the obesity risk factors in adults aged 25-65 years old in 2011-2014.
The study used secondary data from “Cohort study on risk factors of non-communicable diseases” that
was collected for two years in 2011-2013 and 2012-2014. The research was designed as a prospective
cohort study. The number of subjects was 1006, consisted of 364 men and 642 women. Results showed a
25% prevalence of obese (BMI≥25 kg/m2). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed the risk factors
of obesity in adults aged 25-65 years old were gender, smoking habit, consumption of fatty foods, and
duration of smoking habit. During the two years of observation, obesity developed faster in female
subjects compared to male subjects, after adjusted to smoking habit, fat intake, and interaction between
smoking habit and time. The risk of obesity in adults can be reduced by not starting smoking at early age
and reducing consumption of fatty foods.
