High-energy diet and sedentary lifestyle fail to completely explain the epidemic of obesity in developing countries. In this cross-sectional survey, the prevalence and patterns of overweight/obesity were assessed among women in a slum in Brazil. Using anthropometric measurements, shorter form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and a 24-hour diet recall questionnaire, data were collected from 632 women aged 20-60 years. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 29% and 17% respectively. Physical inactivity was found in 17% of the women; 12% of them had short stature, and 44% had energy intake below the recommended dietary allowance. Results of multiple logistic regression showed that overweight/obesity differed significantly (p < 0.05) in the following aspects: abdominal circumference, energy intake, and short stature. A high prevalence of overweight/obesity was found in a very poor community associated with high-energy intake and short stature.
高热量饮食和久坐不动的生活方式并不能完全解释发展中国家肥胖症流行的原因。在这项横断面调查中，对巴西一个贫民窟的女性超重/肥胖的患病率及模式进行了评估。通过人体测量、国际体力活动问卷简表（IPAQ）以及24小时饮食回顾问卷，收集了632名年龄在20至60岁女性的数据。超重和肥胖的患病率分别为29%和17%。17%的女性身体活动不足；其中12%身材矮小，44%的能量摄入低于推荐膳食摄入量。多元逻辑回归结果显示，超重/肥胖在以下方面存在显著差异（p<0.05）：腹围、能量摄入和身材矮小。在一个与高能量摄入和身材矮小相关的非常贫困的社区中，发现超重/肥胖的患病率很高。
