Background -Overweight and obesity are associated with metabolic syndrome and abdominal obesity, thereby increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. In Brazil, there are still no precise data on the prevalence of these disorders, especially among individuals who carry out some kind of physical activity in public spaces and there are no education and prevention programs for obesity.
To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and obesity among park users.
A prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted with 619 individuals assessed and stratified by profile according to a specific protocol. The group was characterized as follows: female (50.1%) and mean age =50.6±14.8, with predominance of individuals aged between 50 and 59 years (26.8%) and with higher education (68%) and a household income of between 4 and 10 minimum wages (29.2%).
Regular physical exercise was reported by 78% of the individuals and it was found that 70.7% were nevertheless of above normal weight: 45% overweight and 25.7% obese, of whom 20.7% had obesity grade I, 3.9% grade II and 1.1% grade III. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 4.3%, mostly in men (6.3%). Arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus were detected in 17.8% and 5.5%, respectively. In view of the influence of obesity on the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome, it was found that this association was not significant for the two conditions (p=0.014 and 0.017, respectively).
The findings demonstrate a high prevalence of overweight and obesity in the studied population, and metabolic syndrome in 4.3%, despite the fact that 70% reported engaging in regular physical activity.
背景——超重和肥胖与代谢综合征及腹部肥胖相关，从而增加了患2型糖尿病和心血管疾病的风险。在巴西，关于这些疾病的患病率仍没有精确数据，尤其是在那些在公共场所进行某种体育活动的人群中，而且也没有针对肥胖的教育和预防项目。
调查公园使用者中代谢综合征和肥胖的患病率。
采用前瞻性、横断面、描述性研究，对619名个体按照特定方案进行评估并根据特征分层。该组人群特征如下：女性占50.1%，平均年龄为50.6±14.8岁，年龄在50至59岁之间的个体占比最高（26.8%），受过高等教育的占68%，家庭收入在4至10个最低工资之间的占29.2%。
78%的个体报告有规律的体育锻炼，然而发现70.7%的人体重高于正常水平：45%超重，25.7%肥胖，其中20.7%为I级肥胖，3.9%为II级肥胖，1.1%为III级肥胖。代谢综合征的患病率为4.3%，主要见于男性（6.3%）。分别检测出动脉高血压和2型糖尿病的患病率为17.8%和5.5%。鉴于肥胖对2型糖尿病和代谢综合征发生的影响，发现这种关联在这两种情况下均不显著（分别为p=0.014和0.017）。
研究结果表明，尽管70%的人报告有规律的体育锻炼，但研究人群中超重和肥胖的患病率较高，代谢综合征的患病率为4.3%。
