Excessive body weight and its contributing factors in visually impaired patients in northwest Ethiopia, 2024
Excessive body weight affects nearly one-third of visually impaired patients in northwest Ethiopia, with significant associations found for older age, urban residence, and long-term visual impairment. Integrating weight management programs, physical activity promotion, nutritional education, and community support is essential to improve health outcomes. Future studies using prospective cohort designs are recommended to explore causal relationships.
