Households were selected using a stratified cluster sampling design, with the Lebanese governorates forming the strata and the districts within the governorates forming the clusters. Within clusters, households were selected at random using probability proportional to size sampling; taking into account the distribution of the Lebanese population classified by sex and age groups (5-year intervals) as estimated by the Central Administration for Statistics in Lebanon in 2004. Sample size calculation was performed based on previously estimated prevalence rates for obesity. As such, the prevalence rate of obesity (17 percent among adults) was taken as the  reference within an allowed error of 1.5 percent and 95 percent confidence. \n \nThe field work was conducted between March 2008 and October 2009 with a final sample including 3 656 subjects.
