Data on socio-demographic information, lifestyle behaviors, and disease-related characteristics were collected. The body mass index (BMI) value was calculated by using weight in kilograms (kg) divided by the square of height in meters (m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ).

Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify the independent associations of lifestyle factors with overweight\/obesity.

The prevalence of overweight\/obesity was 46.5% [95% confidence interval (CI): 43.9\u201349.1%]. Multivariable analyses showed those who did not consume spicy food daily [adjusted odds ratio (aOR)\u202f=\u202f0.76, 95% CI: 0.59\u20130.96] and those who napped for 1\u201330\u202fmin per day (aOR\u202f=\u202f0.64, 95% CI: 0.46\u20130.88) were at a lower risk of overweight\/obesity.
