According to a recent study, postponing marriage considerably lowers Pakistani women’s risk of obesity, especially for those who reside in cities.
According to earlier research, both men and women frequently put on weight after being married, and some couples even develop obesity as a direct result of their marital lifestyle.
Data from the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (2012–13 and 2017–18) were utilized in the most recent study, which was published in a medical publication. According to the study, almost half of Pakistani adult women are overweight or obese; however, postponing marriage significantly lowers this risk for urban women.
Getting married young raises the risk of obesity, according to experts. Fertility expectations force many women to have children at a young age.
