Introduction: Approximately, 43% of the population in Ecuador are considered as vulnerable population due to internal displacement or migration. Local migration and urbanization have been associated with an increased risk of overweight and obesity. However, scientific information from the displaced Ecuadorian population is scant. Objective: To investigate whether there is an association between local migration and being overweight/obese in a conveniency sample of adults in Guayaquil Ecuador in 2017. Measurement Methods: Analytical, cross sectional study using data obtained from a conveniency sample of adults in Guayaquil Ecuador in 2017 (n=466). The main exposure variable was migration status (yes vs no). The main outcome variable was overweight/obesity defined using the WHO criteria. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression analysis were used to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence levels (CI). Results: The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 61%. The adjusted OR for the association between migration status and obesity was 0.99 (95% CI 0.87 – 1.14). The adjusted OR for the association between migration status and obesity was 0.94 (95% CI 0.77 - 1.14) not significant. Conclusions: Migration status was not associated with obesity or overweight. However, due to the high prevalence of overweight and obesity in that group, interventions targeting overweight/obesity are needed.
