Guruprasad V Adeyemi Y. Adebimpe Adegbola O. Abraham Raji Roqeeb B.
BACKGROUND: Presently the incidence of obesity and their related commodities is increasing rapidly in India, especially among housewives. Home-making task being a major full time occupation of housewives, only limited time is available for them to participate in any exercise regimen or active leisure in order to maintain their body mass index. Due to urbanization and mechanization, energy expenditure in homemaking tasks has also decreased. The present study aims to find out the relationship between home-making performance mode and Body Mass Index (BMI) among housewives in Manipal ward, Udupi district. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Study participants were housewives of age group 30 – 45 years. The study was carried out in two sections: Firstly, home making questionnaire was developed by researchers as there were no culturally relevant questionnaire using a methodological study design.
