BACKGROUND
Overweight and obesity are a worldwide health problem. There are few researches about the prevalence of these conditions in penitentiaries; that is why this study aims at determining prevalence in a sample of inmates at a Spanish penitentiary.
METHODS AND MATERIALS
122 inmates from a Spanish penitentiary volunteered for this research in which 99 were men (81.1%) and 23 were women (18.9%), and the average age was 36.2 (DT 11.03). Weight and size measures were collected, and the body mass index (BMI) was assessed.
RESULTS
56.6 % of inmates are overweighed or obese, which is slightly below the prevalence values among the Spanish population. No significant differences can be observed in the prevalence of overweight or obesity between men and women.
DEBATE
The results show that there are high levels of overweight and/or obesity prevalence among penitentiary inmates, matching the results from other international studies. This should encourage the implementation of prevention and/or intervention programs.
背景
超重和肥胖是一个全球性的健康问题。关于监狱中这些情况的患病率的研究很少；这就是为什么本研究旨在确定西班牙一所监狱中囚犯样本的患病率。
方法和材料
来自西班牙一所监狱的122名囚犯自愿参与本研究，其中99名是男性（81.1%），23名是女性（18.9%），平均年龄为36.2岁（标准差11.03）。收集了体重和身高测量数据，并评估了体重指数（BMI）。
结果
56.6%的囚犯超重或肥胖，略低于西班牙人群中的患病率值。男性和女性在超重或肥胖患病率方面没有观察到显著差异。
讨论
结果表明，监狱囚犯中超重和/或肥胖患病率很高，与其他国际研究结果相符。这应该促使实施预防和/或干预计划。
