Despite evidence of rural-urban disparities in overweight and obesity among women of reproductive age, there is limited evidence regarding the predictors of these disparities. This study aims to investigate the factors associated with overweight and obesity and examine the contributors to rural-urban disparities in overweight and obesity among women of reproductive age in Nigeria.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We utilized the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey dataset. The survey employed a two-stage cluster sampling technique based on Nigeria\u2019s 2006 census enumeration areas for sample selection. Overweight and obesity were defined as a body mass index (BMI)\u2009\u2265\u200925. Data analyses were conducted using the Logistic Regression Model and the threefold Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition model (\u03b10.05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study revealed that older women (OR\u2009=\u20092.44; CI\u2009=\u20092.11\u20132.83), those with higher wealth (OR\u2009=\u20092.05; CI\u2009=\u20091.81\u20132.31), contraceptive users (OR\u2009=\u20091.41; CI\u2009=\u20091.27\u20131.57), and residents of the South-South region (OR\u2009=\u20091.24; CI\u2009=\u20091.07\u20131.45) were more likely to be overweight\/obese. The decomposition analysis indicated that the mean predicted prevalence of overweight and obesity is 35.5% in urban areas, compared to 21.1% in rural areas of Nigeria. Factors such as wealth status, educational level, media exposure, and contraceptive use were identified as significant contributors to these disparities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings underscore the importance of addressing socioeconomic disparities when designing healthcare interventions to reduce the burden of overweight and obesity, particularly in urban areas.
