This exploratory study investigates the health challenges associated with body weight among women, aiming to elucidate the diverse impacts on physical and psychological well-being. A comprehensive literature review guided the identification of key health issues influenced by body weight variations in women. The study focuses on understanding how factors such as obesity, underweight, and weight fluctuations contribute to conditions such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, musculoskeletal issues, and mental health disorders among female populations.

Data collection involved surveys and interviews with a diverse sample of women across different age groups and demographic backgrounds. Analysis revealed significant correlations between body weight and health outcomes, highlighting the complex interplay of biological, social, and environmental factors influencing women's health. The findings underscore the need for tailored interventions and health strategies addressing weight management and promoting holistic well-being in women.

This study contributes valuable insights into the health implications of body weight variations among women, providing a foundation for future research and policy initiatives aimed at improving women's health outcomes through targeted interventions and preventive measures.
