Obesity, which is commonly seen in many developed countries, is a major nutritional problem that is frequently seen in our country, especially in the adult population. This study was planned to determine the frequency of obesity in adult women and its relationship with certain factors in its etiology. The investigation was carried out in four health centres located in the district of Diyarbakır. 818 women from adult women who apply for health care for any reason were identified by the developmental sampling method. Research findings show that 4.2% of adult women are slightly obese (BKI: 25-29.9) and 5.4% of IV men are obese (BKI: >30). 5 per cent of light obese are 4.6 per cent of 21-35 years old, while 5 per cent of obese women are 4.4 per cent. 7 6 is between 3 6 -5 0 years of age. For the observation of obesity, the f-relation between age groups was significant (p<0.001). Obesity is the highest rate in households (80.41) and in non-educated women (61.60%) and married women (85.31) As the level of education increases, the frequency of obesity decreases (p<0.001). It has been found that there is a meaningful relationship between the use of oral transceptors as a method of family planning and obesity (p<0.001, p<0.01). The increase in the number of births and the presence of obese individuals in the family is also important for the effect on the formation of obesity (p<0.001). As eating habits; in those with a number of meals of 4 or more (p< 0 0 0 1), in those with a eating habits between meals (p< 0). 01) and it has been statistically important that obesity is more common in fast foods (p<0.00 1).
