BMI: Body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared).

Multiple logistic regression models were constructed to explore the association between BMI categories (obesity & overweight vs. health; underweight vs health) and the total non-communicable disease (NCDs) or each NCD respectively from the pooled data of the two-round survey. The regression models presented odds ratios (ORs) and 95%CIs with adjustment for geographical regions, urbanization, sex, age, marital status, education, employment, smoking, drinking, physical activity and family income quartiles
