Recreation, transportation or labour saving? Examining the association between household asset ownership and body mass index among Ghanaian women
Conclusion The findings indicate that at least one asset among the various domains of household assets examined is associated with either overweight or obesity among Ghanaian women. Also, increased household asset ownership is associated with increased odds of overweight and obesity.
