Abstract
Background The prevalence of overweight and obesity among older adults is clearly increasing. The serious public health consequences e.g., premature mortality, co morbidities such as diabetes, hospitalization, and heart failures Aim To find the relation between obesity and other chronic diseases among home health care patients.

Hyperlipidemia also showed significant difference and higher risk among obese OR 2.02 1.83 2.2 .
