Abstract

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity and the assocaitions of A Body Shape Index (ABSI), Body Roundness Index (BRI), estimated Total Body Fat (eTBF) with demographic factors among males aged >18 years in some provices. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conduted on 454 maled aged >18 years from 2020 to 2021 in Ninh Thuan, Can Tho and Ha Giang province to collect sociodemographic and anthropometric data such as weight, height waist circumference (WC) to calculate BMI, ABSI, BRI and eTBF. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 36.6% and 3.7%, respectively. eTFB and ABSI has a positively statistically significant association with age (p<0.05). Conclusion: ABSI and eTFB have positive assocaitions with age of the participants. The roundness and total body fat percentage increases by age in the adult males.
