Abstract

Background: Globally, at least 4.7 million people die from being overweight or obese. In Ethiopia, the level of overweight and obesity among women grew from 3% to 8%. However, as far as my literature searching, studies concerning the spatial variation of overweight/obesity and factors associated are not researched in Ethiopia using geospatial techniques. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the spatial variation of overweight/obesity and factor associated among reproductive age group women in Ethiopia using geospatial techniques. Mothed: A total weighted sample of 10,928 reproductive age women were included in the study. ArcGIS version10.7 was used to explore the spatial variation of overweight/obesity. Bernoulli based model was used to analyze the purely spatial cluster detection of overweight/obesity through SaTScan version 9.6.1 software. Ordinary Least Square analysis and geographically weighted regression analysis was employed to assess the association between an outcome variable and explanatory variables by using ArcGIS 10.7 software. P value of less than 0.05 was used to declare statically significant. Result: The spatial distribution of overweight/obesity in Ethiopia was clustered. Statistically, a significant-high hot spot overweight/obesity was identified at Addis Ababa, harrari, Dire Dawa. SaTScan identified 66 primary spatial clusters (RR = 4.17, P
