To determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity among women health service workers.
A cross-sectional study was conducted during the 2002-2003 period. We included 487 workers of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social in Colima, Mexico. We carried out a clinical measurement of weight and height. The indicator of overweight and obesity was obtained from the body mass index, that is, a person's weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. The used criteria were similar to the ones established by the WHO: well-nourished (BMI from 18.5 to 24.9), overweight (BMI from 25.0 to 29.9), and obesity (BMI = 30). The obtained data were captured in a computer terminal and processed by means of an automated model. We calculated the frequencies distribution and the prevalence.
Of the 487 women, 121 (25%) had an appropriate weight, 210 (43%) showed overweight, and 156 (32%) had obesity.
The overweight and obesity prevalence among the women health service workers was of 75%.
确定女性卫生服务工作者中超重和肥胖的患病率。
于2002年至2003年期间进行了一项横断面研究。我们纳入了墨西哥科利马市墨西哥社会保障局的487名工作人员。我们对体重和身高进行了临床测量。超重和肥胖指标通过体重指数得出，即一个人的体重（千克）除以身高（米）的平方。所使用的标准与世界卫生组织制定的标准相似：营养良好（体重指数为18.5至24.9）、超重（体重指数为25.0至29.9）和肥胖（体重指数=30）。所获得的数据在计算机终端录入并通过自动模型进行处理。我们计算了频率分布和患病率。
在487名女性中，121人（25%）体重正常，210人（43%）超重，156人（32%）肥胖。
女性卫生服务工作者中超重和肥胖的患病率为75%。
