To measure the independent correlates of excess body weight and obesity in Quebec in 1993 and 1997.
A population-based, cross-sectional survey in three settings in the province of Quebec.
A total of 10014 individuals aged 18-64 y.
Excess body weight was defined as a body mass index (BMI) (self-reported weight and height) greater than or equal to 25 kg/m(2) and obesity as BMI greater than or equal to 30 kg/m(2). Data were collected by a questionnaire completed at home by the participants. Diet was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire.
The correlates varied according to gender. While university achievement, smoking habit and physical activity level reduced the risk of excess body weight in both genders, increased dietary fat intake was positively associated with overweight and obesity in men only. In women, greater family income lowered the risk of having a BMI over 25. Increasing age, speaking a language other than French and living in a rural environment elevated the risk.
Future interventions for the control of obesity should be gender-specific. Target groups should include individuals with low education, those living in rural environments and non-caucasian women. Dietary interventions should target men in particular.
测量1993年和1997年魁北克超重和肥胖的独立相关因素。
在魁北克省三个地区进行的基于人群的横断面调查。
共有10014名年龄在18 - 64岁的个体。
超重定义为体重指数（BMI）（自我报告的体重和身高）大于或等于25kg/m²，肥胖定义为BMI大于或等于30kg/m²。数据通过参与者在家中完成的问卷收集。饮食通过食物频率问卷进行评估。
相关因素因性别而异。虽然大学学历、吸烟习惯和身体活动水平降低了男女超重的风险，但饮食脂肪摄入量增加仅与男性超重和肥胖呈正相关。在女性中，家庭收入增加降低了BMI超过25的风险。年龄增长、讲非法语语言和生活在农村环境中会增加风险。
未来控制肥胖的干预措施应针对不同性别。目标群体应包括低学历个体、生活在农村环境中的个体以及非白种女性。饮食干预应特别针对男性。
