To compare the prevalence of excess of body weight between the surveys conducted in the years 2010, 2012 and 2014, in college students from the same institution.
Three cross-sectional surveys were carried out in representative samples of students of a public institution. The excess of body weight was estimated by the body mass index and compared between the surveys, using the χ2 test for linear trend, in each of the categories: sociodemographic, link with the university and health-related behaviors.
There were 1,069, 1,074 and 1,031 participants in the surveys in 2010, 2012 and 2014, respectively. Between surveys, the prevalence of overweight increased in men (2010: 30.1%; 2014: 36.4%), but not in women. There was an increased prevalence of excess body weight for the categories of sociodemographic variables link with the university and health-related behaviors in men and women.
An increasing prevalence of excess body weight in college students was observed in the surveys. The conduction of interventions aimed at maintaining body weight is essential in order to avoid possible diseases associated with the concentrations of fat in inadequate levels.
比较2010年、2012年和2014年在同一机构对大学生进行的调查中体重超重的患病率。
对一所公立机构的学生代表性样本进行了三次横断面调查。通过体重指数估计体重超重情况，并在社会人口统计学、与大学的联系以及与健康相关行为等每一类中，使用线性趋势χ2检验在各次调查之间进行比较。
2010年、2012年和2014年的调查参与者分别有1069人、1074人和1031人。在各次调查之间，男性超重患病率上升（2010年：30.1%；2014年：36.4%），但女性未上升。男性和女性在与大学相关的社会人口统计学变量类别以及与健康相关行为方面，体重超重患病率均有所上升。
在这些调查中观察到大学生体重超重患病率呈上升趋势。开展旨在维持体重的干预措施对于避免可能与脂肪浓度水平不当相关的疾病至关重要。
