Urbanization has led to rapid changes in eating patterns and physical activity, resulting in over half of premature noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) fatalities, especially among those aged 30 to 69. The objectives of this study was to identify the consumption pattern of salt, sugar, and visible fat and to ascertain the dietary differences between working women and homemakers that differed between the two groups. A sample of 50 working women and 50 homemakers aged 30-45 years was selected. A questionnaire was administered to the sample. The questionnaire contained questions about general information, anthropometry assessment, dietary habits, sugar, salt, and visible fat consumption patterns, and the data were analyzed statistically. Findings of the study showed that majority of both homemakers and working women were overweight or obese. Sugar consumption was higher in working women than homemakers respectively. When compared to homemakers, the majority of working women not tried to minimize their salt intake. Homemakers consume deep fried meals less frequently than working women. In comparison to homemakers, majority of working women utilized sunflower oil for cooking. Working women consumed more vegetables, pulses, and fruits than homemakers. It can be concluded that Educational and sustainable interventions can improve dietary habits and health among women group
