Design This cross-sectional survey was conducted in the local health stations of 30 randomly selected wards which represent all 13 urban districts of HCMC over a period of 2 months from March to April 2004. Subjects A total of 1488 participants aged 20-60 years completed the interview physical examination and venous blood collection. Measurements Anthropometric measurements of body weight height waist and hip circumference were taken to construct indicators of adiposity including body mass index BMI waist circumference and waist-to-height and waist-to-hip ratios. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and biochemical indicators of cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes risk lipid profile and fasting blood glucose were also measured. Results The age and sex standardized prevalence of overweight and obesity using Asian specific BMI cutoffs of 23.0 and 27.5 kg m2 was 26.2 and 6.4 respectively. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was slightly higher in females 33.6 than males 31.6 and progressively increased with age. The age and sex-standardized prevalence of underweight BMI 18.5 kg m2 among Vietnamese adults living in HCMC was 20.4 . The prevalence was slightly higher in males 22.0 than in females 18.9 and there was a much higher prevalence in all underweight categories in younger women than in men but this was reversed for
