Los problemas generales de salud en los países de bajos ingresos se centran con frecuencia en problemas de desnutrición, pero a medida que los países cambian, observamos con frecuencia un patrón de aumento de la obesidad y de enfermedades crónicas. Un lugar en particular que ha experimentado un progreso económico notable y continuo es la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán. Casi ningún estudio ha examinado a las poblaciones adultas aquí, y ninguno ha investigado segmentos geográficos relacionados. Por lo tanto, este documento presenta información geográfica y de estado de salud recopilada de 1023 mujeres adultas de entre 18 y 63 años que trabajan/estudian en dos escuelas en Erbil, Kurdistán. La información de estado de salud incluía altura, peso, índice de masa corporal, contorno de abdomen/cadera y porcentaje de músculo versus grasa. La información geográfica se recopiló pidiendo a los participantes que ubicaran su hogar en grandes mapas examinados que fueron georreferenciados a capas SIG realizadas de Erbil y luego digitalizados. La medición de agrupamiento espacial local Getis-Ord se utilizó para distinguir grupos espaciales de valores de IMC altos y bajos. Se encontraron marcadores de bajo peso en el 3,4% de la muestra y el 44% se consideró que tenía sobrepeso o era obeso. El análisis de grupos espaciales encontró un grupo diligente de valores bajos de IMC en el cuadrante suroeste de la ciudad en un rango de distancias básicas. Se detectaron grupos de valores altos de IMC en las áreas central y oriental de la ciudad, pero se movieron con las distancias básicas. Estos datos sugieren que un IMC más alto está asociado con los barrios más ricos dentro de Erbil. Los hallazgos son importantes porque reflejan uno de los principales estudios geográficos y específicos de la condición saludable entre las mujeres en Erbil, Kurdistán.
