Abstract Background The current work aimed to investigate the mediating role of adiposity traits in the relationship between eating behaviors, sleep quality, socio-demographic factors, and the health-related quality of life in women of reproductive age in northwest of Iran. Methods In the current cross-sectional study, a total of 278 overweight and obese women of reproductive age (20–49 y) were enrolled. Anthropometric assessments were performed. Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used for assessment of sleep quality while Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire was used to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-R18 (TFEQ-R18) was used to measure eating behaviors. Path analysis was used to test the relationships between parameters. Results Age was found to be indirectly and negatively associated with mental component score (MCS) (B = − 0.040; P = 0.049) and physical component score (PCS) (B = − 0.065; P = 0.036) through mediatory effects of obesity. Additionally, education was seen to be indirectly and positively related to MCS (B = 0.529; P = 0.045) and PCS (B = 0.870; P = 0.019), respectively. On the other hand, obesity (B = 0.608; P = 0.018) and PSQI score (B = − 0.240; P = 0.034) had direct associations with MCS. Age (B = − 0.065; P = 0.036) and education (B = 0.870; P = 0.019) were also directly associated with obesity. Conclusions Obesity seemed to mediate the effects of socio-demographic parameters on HRQoL. Poor sleep quality was also related to impairment of HRQoL. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.

Background: The National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4) reported that in India there are 22.9% underweight and 20.6 % overweight and obese women. Considering only urban areas, the proportions are 15.5% and 31.3% respectively. Not only does having an abnormal BMI affect the health, but also has a negative impact on their overall wellbeing. In this study, we aimed to find out the BMI and Health-related quality of life and the association between them. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 210 reproductive age-group women residing in urban Bhubaneswar using a predesigned, pretested, semi-structured questionnaire. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, marital status, height, weight, BMI, Waist-Hip ratio (WHR) and Health related quality of life (HRQOL) was collected. Chi-square & F-test, wherever appropriate were applied to find out the associations and a p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: 62.9% of respondents were within normal-BMI range, 12.4% obese,9.5% overweight,9%  underweight and 6.2% in pre-obese BMI category.WHR was found to be greater than 0.80 signifying moderate to high health risk in 63.3 % women.64.8% women indicated “no problems” and 35.2% indicated “problems” in their HRQOL. A statistically significant association (p<0.05) was found between HRQOL and age group, literacy, age at marriage, parity and BMI. A highly significant statistical (P<0.0001) association was reported between HRQOL and WHR. The women reported most problems in the Anxiety and depression dimension of the HRQOL. Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of abnormal BMI among women. The reported HRQOL also indicated problems in its domains. A statistically significant association between BMI, WHR and HRQOL could be established. Targeted promotive and preventive strategies by IEC activities on lifestyle modification and proper nutrition are necessary to bring about a positive change in health and wellness.
