However, these interventions lack supporting evidence, especially in rural areas, hindering effective strategies for this population. To address this evidence gap, this study used cohort data (baseline: 2018\u201319, follow-up: 2022\u201323) from the Birbhum Population Project (West Bengal, India) to analyse lifestyle risk factors and their association with incidence and remission of overweight\/obesity among adults aged \u226518 years (sample: 8,974). Modified Poisson regression model was employed to attain the study objective. From 2017\u20132018 to 2022\u20132023, the prevalence of overweight\/obesity increased from 15.2% (95% CI: 14.1%\u201316.4%) to 21.0% (95% CI: 19.7%\u201322.3%) among men and from 24.1% (95% CI: 22.9%\u201325.2%) to 33.8% (95% CI: 32.5%\u201335.1%) among women. Overall, 23.0% (95% CI: 21.8%\u201324.3%) of adults experienced incidence of overweight\/obesity, while 13.9% (95% CI: 12.4%\u201315.6%) experienced remission. Use of motor vehicles among unemployed participants was associated with incident overweight\/obesity (relative risk or RR: 1.058; 95% CI: 1.023\u20131.095; P: 0.001). Vigorous activity at home (including gardening, yard work, and household chores) was linked to higher odds of recovering from overweight\/obesity (RR: 1.065; 95% CI: 1.008\u20131.125; P: 0.025). Frequent tobacco use (often\/daily vs. none) was inversely associated with remission of overweight-obesity (RR: 0.689; 95% CI: 0.484\u20130.980; P: 0.038), as was each 1 ml in alcohol consumption (RR: 0.995; 95% CI: 0.991\u20130.999; P: 0.022). Discouraging habitual motor vehicle use may help prevent overweight\/obesity, while promoting home-based activities may aid remission, particularly for women who are at higher risk for overweight\/obesity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/jns.2025.4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]],"date-time":"2025-02-11T08:55:52Z","timestamp":1739264152000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Lifestyle risk factors for overweight and obesity among rural Indian adults: a community-based prospective cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5249-9937","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rajesh Kumar","family":"Rai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sabri","family":"Bromage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0090-8249","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan-Walter","family":"De Neve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anamitra","family":"Barik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eclinm.2022.101635"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjgh-2021-006351"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref46","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jn\/nxab217"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref47","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ehb.2021.101041"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0279840"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-6-70"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref42","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-14-886"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-019-1171-x"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-018-0306-9"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref36","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/obr.12097"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41366-022-01247-4"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0021932020000486"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref40","first-page":"2401144","article-title":"Evaluating the effectiveness of housework as exercise for overweight and obese Filipino teenagers","volume":"10","author":"Tanucan","year":"2024","journal-title":"Cogent Soc Sci."},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref9","volume-title":"National Family Health Survey 2019\u20132021: Fact Sheet, India","year":"2021"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(18)30448-0"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/87.4.801"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/dyu228"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref10","article-title":"Effectiveness of a childhood obesity prevention programme delivered through schools, targeting 6- and 7-year-olds: cluster randomised controlled trial (WAVES study","volume":"360","author":"Adab","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMJ."},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2017-021363"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref38","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/inthealth\/ihaa031"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref41","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/oby.21979"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-022-20951-9"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10408398.2021.1925221"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(17)32804-0"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41591-023-02368-7"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/dyae172"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/heapol\/czl029"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref34","volume-title":"Stata Statistical Software: Release 18","year":"2023"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.lansea.2023.100208"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref37","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0007114516000039"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref44","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16030419"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref45","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jn\/nxab170"},{"key":"S2048679025000047_ref1","unstructured":"1.
