To determine prevalence of overweight and abdominal fat in adult population in the urban area of Teresina-PI.
Cross-sectional study with probabilistic sample by conglomerates. The study evaluated 464 adults, 20 to 59 years of age living in the urban area of Teresina-PI. Nutritional status was classified by the body mass index (BMI) and abdominal fat accumulation was estimated according to waist circumference. The significance level was set at 5% (p<0.05).
Prevalence of overweight and obesity according to nutritional status based on BMI was, respectively, 30.0% and 7.7%. There was an increase in the proportion of overweight and obesity among men with progressively higher family income. Highest rates of obesity were found among individuals 50 to 59 years of age with stable marriages and nonsmokers. No association was found between individual or family income and presence of abdominal fat in the population.
Prevalence of overweight in the study population follows the Brazilian trend. Proportions of overweight and obesity were higher among men and increased with age. Women and married persons showed a greater tendency for abdominal obesity.
确定特雷西纳-皮奥伊市城区成年人群中超重和腹部脂肪的患病率。
采用整群概率抽样的横断面研究。该研究评估了居住在特雷西纳-皮奥伊市城区的464名20至59岁的成年人。根据体重指数（BMI）对营养状况进行分类，并根据腰围估计腹部脂肪堆积情况。显著性水平设定为5%（p<0.05）。
根据基于BMI的营养状况，超重和肥胖的患病率分别为30.0%和7.7%。随着家庭收入逐渐增加，男性中超重和肥胖的比例有所上升。在50至59岁、婚姻稳定且不吸烟的人群中肥胖率最高。在该人群中，未发现个人或家庭收入与腹部脂肪的存在之间存在关联。
研究人群中超重患病率与巴西趋势一致。男性中超重和肥胖的比例更高，且随年龄增长而增加。女性和已婚者腹部肥胖的倾向更大。
