The article investigate the prevalence of obesity among Libyan's women aged from 15 to 59 age years. The study estimated trends between 2016 and 2022 in overweight and obesity prevalence A total of 1288 women were included in the analysis, of which 662 (51.4%) were aged 15-30 years old and 626 (48.6%) were aged 31-59 years old recruited from 2016 to 2022. The sample was divided into two groups , group 1- female age from 15-30 years and group 2- female age 31-59 years. Between 2016 and 2022, the prevalence of obesity increased 10.4%, whereas there were increases forecast up to 2025 increased 10.3%. The study shown that body weight, body fat, waist circumference, visceral fat, and body mass index increase with aging except of fat free mass, decreased with aging. Women with higher age have higher chances of being obesity and lower chances of being underweight compared with lower age. The results from our study showed that the prevalence of obesity continues to rise, with age increased, with 10.3% increases occurring in the forecast next three year's 2023-2025. The results showed that the risk of gaining overweight and obesity starts at the age of 31 years.
