This study aimed to describe BMI's short-term trends and analyze the association between the Body Mass Index (BMI) and the sociodemographic variables and variables of family perception of the sufficiency and type of food consumed by Brazilian elderly of both sexes. The authors used data from the Household Budget Surveys (HBS) collected by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in 2002/03 and 2008/09. The prevalence of overweight and obesity increased, whereas normal and low weight decreased. Multinomial regression models were used for 2008/09 to analyze the association between BMI and sociodemographic variables and variables of family perception of the sufficiency and type of food intake. Income and age were more associated with BMI. We suggest that health and nutrition prevention and monitoring measures be implemented through public policies, considering multifactorial overweight in the Brazilian elderly.
本研究旨在描述体重指数（BMI）的短期趋势，并分析体重指数与社会人口统计学变量以及巴西老年男女家庭对食物充足性和食物类型认知变量之间的关联。作者使用了巴西地理与统计研究所（IBGE）在2002/03年和2008/09年收集的家庭预算调查（HBS）数据。超重和肥胖的患病率上升，而正常体重和低体重的患病率下降。2008/09年使用多项回归模型分析BMI与社会人口统计学变量以及家庭对食物摄入量充足性和食物类型认知变量之间的关联。收入和年龄与BMI的关联更大。我们建议通过公共政策实施健康和营养预防及监测措施，同时考虑巴西老年人的多因素超重问题。
