Abstract

Background: According to multiple research studies, biological variables, perceived learning demands,
and physical activity were the most influential factors among women with Obesity. The period prenatal,
intranatal, and postnatal is regarded as a vulnerable time to gain excess weight and it is essential for healthy
lifestyles to sustain the metabolic health of a woman, children, and family.
Methods: Our study aimed to identify lifestyle modification and perceived learning needs by recruiting the
subjects (postnatal) from the (N=147) community population aged above 26 years obese woman to explore
an avenue for further research. Researchers adopted a non-probability convenience sampling technique to
reach the sample size at a community health center from January to April 5, 2024. The prevalence of
metabolic syndrome was determined using waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), and other
values based on NHLBI criteria (Institute of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute)
