The samples were 117 older adult mothers taken with random sampling techniques. Results. The results revealed that the effect on peripheral and central obesity was food with a statistical T-value of 29.285 meaning t > 1.96 with a coefficient of (2.7%), as well as education having an effect on central obesity was food with a statistical T-value of 8.810 meaning t > 1.96 with a coefficient of (63.3%), then path analysis showed that these factors influenced central obesity by 47.6% Conclusion: Factors that influence central obesity are food and education.
