Women in Chile are mainly responsible in the formation of eating habits in the population, particularly at their homes.Aim:
To explore the association of physical activity and alimentary habits with overweight among adult Chilean women in fertile age. Material andMethods:

Sixty three percent of women were overweight. The factors positively associated overweight were having an age between 31 and 44 years (prevalence ratio (PR) = 1.4), having a lower education level (PR = 1.23), living in rural areas (PR = 2.21) and being exposed to work environment (PR = 1.29). The factors negatively associated with overweight were the consumption of whole grains at least once daily (PR = 0.59), being physically active according to a self-assessment scale (PR = 0.22) and being physically inactive during leisure time (PR = 0.61).Conclusions:
