University Students' Sociodemographics, Physical Inactivity, and Inadequate and Poor‐Quality Sleep Are Associated With Their Overweight/Obesity: Findings From a Case–Control Study in Bangladesh
Key factors associated with overweight/obesity among Bangladeshi university students include age (22-25 years), gender (higher prevalence in female students), sleep duration and quality, and physical inactivity. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions addressing sleep health, physical activity, and healthy lifestyles to mitigate overweight/obesity among university students.
