      abstract = {Obesity is a complicated multifactorial illness that is closely linked to other co-morbidities. It is the fifth biggest cause of mortality; which has caused 35-8 million disability-adjusted life years and 2.8 million deaths annually. Despite this, there is a dearth of study on associated factors of obesity among teachers in Badagry. This study therefore investigated the prevalence and associated factors of obesity among secondary school teachers in Badagry Local Government Area (LGA), Lagos State.  The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. The whole teachers in Badagry were 767 and a total of 420 respondents were sampled using multistage sampling procedure. Data were collected with the use of self-developed and validated questionnaire. The coefficient of the reliability yielded 0.71. Data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics, Pearson chi-square and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The results revealed that there was no significant association between age and prevalence of obesity among teachers in Badagry LGA of Lagos State (p>0.05; ?? =16.819). There was no significant association between gender and prevalence of obesity among teachers in Badagry LGA of Lagos State (p>0.05; ?? =4.674). There was a significant relationship between family history and prevalence of obesity among teachers in Badagry LGA of Lagos State (r=-0.105, p<0.05). Additionally, there was a significant relationship between diet and prevalence of obesity among teachers in Badagry LGA of Lagos State (p<0.05). There was no significant relationship between physical inactivity and prevalence of obesity among teachers in Badagry LGA of Lagos State (r=-0.013, p>0.05).  It was recommended that Department of Health in Badagry LGA of Lagos State should organize sensitization programme for teachers on effect of both modifiable ?diets and physical inactivity ?and non-modifiable factors of gender, age and family history on prevalence of obesity.},
