To estimate the prevalence of obesity and potential causal factors among adults living in the urban area of Lages, Southern Brazil.
Population based cross-sectional study with a sample of 2,022 adults from 20 to 59 years-old. Obesity was assessed by the body mass index (BMI > or = 30 kg/m(2)). Exploratory variable were collected at adults households using questionnaire and included age, schooling, per capita familial income, parity, obesity familial episodes, and level of physical activity. Simple and multiple Poisson regression analyses were performed.
The prevalence of obesity was 23.5 (95% CI 21.6-25.3). The prevalence of obesity was higher in women (26.1%) than in men (19.3). In the final model, adjusted for confounders, were associated with obesity among women: older ages, low schooling and familial episodes of obesity; for men were associated with obesity: older ages and those with insufficient physical activity.
Factors associated with obesity differ between men and women. The prevalence of obesity was higher in women and it was associated with low income and elderly.
评估巴西南部拉热斯市区成年人肥胖症的患病率及其潜在病因。
基于人群的横断面研究,样本为2022名年龄在20至59岁之间的成年人。通过体重指数(BMI≥30kg/m²)评估肥胖症。采用问卷调查的方式在成年人家庭中收集探索性变量,包括年龄、受教育程度、家庭人均收入、生育情况、肥胖家族病史以及身体活动水平。进行了简单和多元泊松回归分析。
肥胖症患病率为23.5(95%置信区间21.6 - 25.3)。女性肥胖症患病率(26.1%)高于男性(19.3%)。在最终模型中,经混杂因素调整后,与女性肥胖症相关的因素有:年龄较大、受教育程度低以及肥胖家族病史;与男性肥胖症相关的因素有:年龄较大以及身体活动不足。
与肥胖症相关的因素在男性和女性之间存在差异。女性肥胖症患病率较高,且与低收入和年长者相关。
