A household survey was conducted to assess the nutritional status of the adult population in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In the selected households, all adults (>or= 20 years) had their body mass and stature measured. Body mass index (BMI) was used to determine the nutritional status according to the World Health Organization classification. The population estimates showed low prevalence of underweight (BMI < 18.5kg/m(2)), while 45.8% of women and 49.6% of men were overweight/obese (BMI >or= 25kg/m(2)). Obesity prevalence varied from 5.6% to 19.3% in men and from 9.6% to 21.3% in women, according to age. The prevalence of overweight/obesity was not associated with income (in either men and women) or schooling (in men), but there was an inverse relationship between schooling and overweight/obesity in women. The prevalence of underweight decreased with increasing mean income in the census enumeration area. The authors conclude that overweight/obesity is the most prevalent nutritional disorder in both men and women in Niterói. This pattern resembles recent results for the adult population in Southeast Brazil as a whole, where Niterói is located.
在巴西里约热内卢州尼泰罗伊市开展了一项家庭调查，以评估成年人群的营养状况。在选定的家庭中，对所有成年人（≥20岁）测量了体重和身高。根据世界卫生组织的分类标准，采用体重指数（BMI）来确定营养状况。人口估计显示，体重过轻（BMI<18.5kg/m²）的患病率较低，而45.8%的女性和49.6%的男性超重/肥胖（BMI≥25kg/m²）。根据年龄不同，男性肥胖患病率在5.6%至19.3%之间，女性在9.6%至21.3%之间。超重/肥胖患病率与收入（无论男女）或受教育程度（男性）无关，但女性的受教育程度与超重/肥胖之间存在负相关关系。在人口普查枚举区，体重过轻的患病率随着平均收入的增加而降低。作者得出结论，超重/肥胖是尼泰罗伊市男性和女性中最普遍的营养失调问题。这种模式与尼泰罗伊所在的巴西东南部成年人群的近期结果相似。
