A validated semi-structured questionnaire was administered to obtain information from respondents; while descriptive and inferential statistics was used to analyze the data.ResultsThe results show that more of the respondents were between the ages of 18–40 years, while about half 101(50.50%) were females and 104(52.0%) were married.

The mean Body Mass Index of the respondents was 23.02±4.42 while the respondents demonstrated positive attitude towards prevention of obesity. In addition, only eating akpu/fufu significantly predicted obesity (R2=0.034) while both sex (P=.350) and educational status (P=0.165) did not significantly influence obesity and some of the respondents’ 82(41.0%) exercises once in a while.ConclusionThe study recommended more awareness campaign on the dangers of obesity across communities in Nigeria.
