摘要

Obesity is increasingly becoming a common problem in Africa. Many studies have been pre-occupied withanalyzing the causes of malnutrition whose effects are more pronounced. The main objective of this research was todetermine the socio-economic factors that influence body mass indices in Rwanda. Inflation rate, body mass indices (bmi)for males and females (from 1960 to 2009) and food supply indices were obtained mainly from the Food and AgricultureOrganization (FAOSTAT). A double log multiple regression model was used to assess the relationship between averagebmi and several predictor variables. Further tests of autocorrelation, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity and normalitywere carried out and subsequently corrected. Results showed that obesity is not a problem in Rwanda. However, bmi formen and women have been increasing. Food self sufficiency, fat supply and food aid had a positive and significant impacton average bmi (p<0.05) while GDP per capita and inflation rate were insignificant. These results indicate the positiveimpact of efforts of government of Rwanda through Vision 2020. However, food aid may be contributing to rapid bmiincreases in the country.
