Overweight and obesity have become threats to public health in all regions across the globe including
sub-Saharan Africa where prevalence used to be low. Policies to regulate the food environment and promote healthy
food consumption look promising to reducing the prevalence of obesity but in Ghana there is not enough data to
elicit a policy response. This study assessed the association between dietary consumption, anthropometric measures,
body composition and physical activity among rural and urban Ghanaian adults.
