Obesity, along with other unhealthy living habits, nowadays represents one of the greatest risk factors for various diseases. Vojvodina is a part of Serbia where a high percentage of the overweight has been recorded since the period of former Yugoslavia. The aim of this study therefore was to determine the percentage of adults with potential health risk using the indices of obesity. The anthropological study was conducted from 2001 to 2006. The tested group consisted of 4504 individuals, 1965 men and 2539 women. The mean age of the sample was 40.61 +/- 11.29. The data were collected in 46 villages in Backa and Banat, in the central and north-east parts of Vojvodina, situated in the north of Serbia. The investigation included the height, weight, waist and hip circumference. Nutritional condition was determined using the body mass index (BMI kg/m2), while the waist circumference and WHR were used for assessing the central obesity. According to the average BMI (26.86 kg/m2 males, 25.80 kg/m2 females), the population of Backa and Banat is characterised with pre-obesity. In total, 58.47% individuals of both sexes are with excessive body weight, 38.52% of them being classified as overweight and 19.48% as obese. Central obesity is more frequent in males aged up to 40, while in females it is more present above the age of 50. A higher waist circumference (males > 94 cm; females > 80 cm) is observed in 58% of males and 55% of females, with the risk value (males > 102 cm; females > 88 cm) recorded in 32% of men and women. The indices of obesity indicate a potential health risk for more than a half of the subjects in this study. The data therefore point to the necessity of introducing educational programs for promoting good nutrition and healthy living habits that would ultimately reduce the number of individuals with health risk.
肥胖与其他不健康的生活习惯一样，如今是引发各种疾病的最大风险因素之一。伏伊伏丁那是塞尔维亚的一部分，自前南斯拉夫时期以来，该地区超重人口的比例就一直很高。因此，本研究的目的是通过肥胖指数来确定有潜在健康风险的成年人的比例。人类学研究于2001年至2006年进行。测试组由4504人组成，其中男性1965人，女性2539人。样本的平均年龄为40.61 +/- 11.29岁。数据收集于伏伊伏丁那中部和东北部的巴奇卡和巴纳特的46个村庄，这些村庄位于塞尔维亚北部。调查内容包括身高、体重、腰围和臀围。使用体重指数（BMI，千克/平方米）来确定营养状况，而腰围和腰臀比则用于评估中心性肥胖。根据平均BMI（男性为26.86千克/平方米，女性为25.80千克/平方米），巴奇卡和巴纳特的人口具有肥胖前期的特征。总体而言，58.47%的男女体重超标，其中38.52%被归类为超重，19.48%为肥胖。中心性肥胖在40岁以下的男性中更为常见，而在女性中则在50岁以上更为普遍。58%的男性和55%的女性腰围较高（男性>94厘米；女性>80厘米），32%的男性和女性记录有风险值（男性>102厘米；女性>88厘米）。肥胖指数表明本研究中超过一半的受试者存在潜在的健康风险。因此，数据表明有必要引入教育项目，以促进良好的营养和健康的生活习惯，最终减少有健康风险的个体数量。
