This study intended to investigate whether body weight gain during adulthood is associated with uterine myomas. 1,560 subjects were evaluated in a Pró-Saúde Study. Weight gain was evaluated in a continuous fashion and also in quintiles. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were estimated through logistic regression models that were adjusted for education levels, color/race, body mass indices at age 20, age of menarche, parity, use of oral contraceptive methods, smoking, health insurance, and the Papanicolaou tests. No relevant differences were observed regarding the presence of uterine myomas among weight gain quintiles in that studied population.
本研究旨在调查成年期体重增加是否与子宫肌瘤有关。在一项健康促进研究中对1560名受试者进行了评估。体重增加以连续方式评估，也按五分位数评估。通过逻辑回归模型估计比值比和95%置信区间，该模型针对教育水平、肤色/种族、20岁时的体重指数、初潮年龄、产次、口服避孕方法的使用、吸烟、健康保险和巴氏试验进行了调整。在该研究人群中，体重增加五分位数之间在子宫肌瘤的存在方面未观察到相关差异。
