BACKGROUND/AIM: Obesity represents one of the frequent health problems in developed countries today. It is related to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and various cancer forms. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in adult population of the northern Badka and Banat.
On the basis of a multistage stratified random sampling, 4505 individuals of the age 40.61 +/- 11.29 years took part in the study. The study included 46 rural settlements. The overweight and obesity prevalence was obtained using the anthropometric indicators of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and the waist to hip ratio (WHR). The correlations among BMI, WC and WHR were determined by the Pearson's correlation coefficient while the multiple regression analysis was used for correlating sociodemographic parameters and the obesity index.
A significant positive correlation was found in relation to all anthropometric parameters in both sexes. The data indicated that 66.32% of males and 49.68% of females had an overweight problem. On average, approximately 38.52% of subjects of both sexes were overweight, while 19.48% were obese. The factors that largely contributed to higher values of the obesity index were the age of male subjects and the age, education and origin in females. Ragarding the female subjects, the level of education negatively correlated with the level of nutritional condition.
The prevalence values of the overweight and obese subjects, obtained on the basis of the anthropometric parameters, vary. However, regardless methods applied, the percentage of the overweight and obese persons is very high, being among the highest recorded in European populations. The obtained results indicate the necessity of introducing better education programmes and conducting regular health controls among citizens in these regions.
背景/目的：肥胖是当今发达国家常见的健康问题之一。它与心血管疾病、糖尿病和多种癌症形式相关。本研究的目的是确定北巴德卡和巴纳特成年人群中超重和肥胖的患病率。
基于多阶段分层随机抽样，4505名年龄在40.61±11.29岁的个体参与了本研究。该研究涵盖46个农村定居点。通过体重指数（BMI）、腰围（WC）和腰臀比（WHR）等人体测量指标来获取超重和肥胖患病率。BMI、WC和WHR之间的相关性通过Pearson相关系数确定，而多元回归分析用于关联社会人口统计学参数和肥胖指数。
在两性中，所有人体测量参数之间均发现显著正相关。数据表明，66.32%的男性和49.68%的女性存在超重问题。平均而言，约38.52%的两性受试者超重，而19.48%为肥胖。导致肥胖指数较高值的主要因素是男性受试者的年龄以及女性的年龄、教育程度和出身。关于女性受试者，教育水平与营养状况水平呈负相关。
基于人体测量参数得出的超重和肥胖受试者的患病率有所不同。然而，无论采用何种方法，超重和肥胖人群的百分比都非常高，位列欧洲人群中记录的最高水平之一。所得结果表明，在这些地区有必要引入更好的教育项目并对公民进行定期健康检查。
