Most of the young adult and middle aged women weavers were involved in weaving and the percentage was significantly higher than men weavers. There was a significant positive relationship between socio economic status and BMI, r (118) = 0.0512, p <0.1. There is a significant positive relationship between socio economic status and working hours, r (118) = 0.068, p < 0.1.
