Abstract: Obesity, a metabolic
disorder characterized by the accumulation of excessive body fat, which is
closely associated with metabolic derangement-related disease. Obesity can be

activity and obesity based on body fat percentage in Banjaroyo village,

observational-analytical study with cross sectional design and conducted in
