  abstract = {{O}bjectives: {T}o document the prevalence and the socio-spatial variations of obesity and to identify individual and household characteristics, lifestyles and dietary practices contributing to obesity and its socio-spatial distribution. {D}esign: {P}opulation-based cross-sectional survey. {W}e selected 1570 households from four strata characterised as unstructured and low building-density ({ULBD}), unstructured and high building-density ({UHBD}), structured and low building-density ({SLBD}) and structured and high building-density ({SHBD}) areas. {S}tructured areas are those that were allotted by the township authority (cadastral services), with public services; unstructured areas refer to those developed with no cadastral organisation. {S}etting: {O}uagadougou, the capital city of {B}urkina {F}aso. {S}ubjects: {BMI} was calculated in 2022 adults aged 35 years and above who were classified as obese when their {BMI} was >= 30 kg/m(2). {O}besity was investigated in relation to household and individual characteristics, lifestyles and dietary practices; adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were derived from a logistic regression model. {R}esults: {T}he overall prevalence of obesity was 14.7% (males 5.5% and females 21.9%). {A}ge, gender, household equipment index, usual transport with motor vehicles and micronutrient-rich food consumption were associated with obesity. {A}fter adjustment for these factors, obesity remained associated with the area of residence: residents from {SHBD} areas were more likely to be obese than those from {ULBD} areas ({OR} =1.41; 95% {CI} 2.59, 4.76). {C}onclusions: {O}besity in {O}uagadougou is a preoccupant problem that calls for more consideration. {T}horough investigation is needed to assess the environmental factors that contribute to the socio-spatial disparity of obesity.},
