The scope of this study was to analyze the temporal variation in the incidence of overweight and abdominal obesity among adolescents from public schools in a capital in northeastern Brazil. It is a study including information from three cross-sectional surveys carried out in 2001, 2009 and 2017, with 2,496 students aged 10 to 18 years of both sexes living in the city of Salvador, Bahia. Overweight was assessed using the Body Mass Index for Age (BMI/A) and abdominal obesity was assessed using waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio. Pooled OLS (Ordinary Least Squares) regression, with constant effect, was used to assess the variation of anthropometric indicators over the period. The results of this study indicate that the prevalence of overweight increased by 103% and the indicators of abdominal obesity increased by 153% and 142%, respectively, in the period under analysis. The increase in the mean body mass index and waist-to-height ratio was greater among adolescents and in the mean BMI and waist circumference among those aged 14 to 18 years old. The conclusion reached was that there was a significant increase in the prevalence of overweight and abdominal obesity in the period 2001 to 2017 among adolescents in the city of Salvador.
本研究的范围是分析巴西东北部一个首府城市公立学校青少年中超重和腹型肥胖发病率的时间变化。这是一项包含2001年、2009年和2017年三次横断面调查信息的研究，涉及居住在巴伊亚州萨尔瓦多市的2496名10至18岁的男女学生。超重采用年龄别体重指数（BMI/A）进行评估，腹型肥胖采用腰围和腰高比进行评估。使用具有恒定效应的合并OLS（普通最小二乘法）回归来评估该时期人体测量指标的变化。本研究结果表明，在分析期内，超重患病率增加了103%，腹型肥胖指标分别增加了153%和142%。青少年中平均体重指数和腰高比的增加幅度更大，14至18岁青少年的平均BMI和腰围增加幅度更大。得出的结论是，2001年至2017年期间，萨尔瓦多市青少年中超重和腹型肥胖的患病率显著增加。
