Key result
Obesity prevalence exceeds ~20% across island clusters with significantly varying regional lifestyle risk factors.
Why the study?
Obesity prevalence and its risk factors vary across different island clusters in Indonesia, but detailed descriptions and risk factor identification by cluster were lacking.
What is the prevalence and what are the risk factors of obesity across island clusters in Indonesia?
Cross-Sectional (n=688,638)
Yes
What is the prevalence and what are the risk factors of obesity across island clusters in Indonesia?

Regional obesity data inform targeted Indonesian strategies; leaves open causal validation of risk factors.
Thamrin et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Obesity (n=688,638). Sociodemographic and lifestyle risk factors was evaluated on Obesity prevalence (BMI ≥ 27.5 kg/m2) and risk factors. Obesity prevalence exceeded 20% in at least one province per island cluster, with risk factors such as diet, mental health, and smoking varying significantly across regions.
