BACKGROUND
This study investigated the prevalence of obesity among university students in Saudi Arabia's western region, as well as its association with gender, smoking, consumption of sugary drinks, and hours of sleep.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study recruited a simple random sample of students from King Abdulaziz University (KAU) in Saudi Arabia's western region. In this study, the Arab Teens Lifestyle (ATLS) questionnaire was used. The survey was conducted between April and June 2022.
RESULTS
In total, 659 students participated (313 males [37.3%] and 437 females [66.2%]). One-fourth of the students, 158 (24%), were overweight, and 83 (12.7%) were obese. Male participants were overweight or obese by a rate of 32.6% and 19.4%, respectively. Female overweight and obese rates were 16.2% and 6.6%, respectively. Moreover, obesity/overweight rates were 43.6% in the urban area and 36.9% in the rural area (P=0.03). A total of 370 participants (56.14%) slept less than 8 hours per day, 185 (28.1%) spent more than five hours per day watching television or using the internet, and 303 (46%) ate breakfast on a regular basis. Obesity/overweight was more common in smokers than in nonsmokers (59.7% vs 32.8%, P=0.01). The prevalence of obesity was lower among those who walked three days or more per week (28.1% vs 44.1%; P=0.01) and ran/jogged outside or on a treadmill three days or more per week (29.5% vs 39.8%; P=0.03) than among those who ran/jogged less than three days per week. Student obesity was independently predicted by being male (P=0.01), drinking more sugary drinks (P=0.01), smoking (P=0.03), and sleeping for fewer hours (P=0.03).
CONCLUSION
Obesity was more prevalent in male students, with a prevalence of 24%. Male gender, consumption of more sugary beverages, smoking, and sleeping for fewer hours were all independent predictors of obesity among university students.
背景
本研究调查了沙特阿拉伯西部地区大学生的肥胖患病率，以及其与性别、吸烟、含糖饮料消费和睡眠时间的关联。
方法
一项横断面研究从沙特阿拉伯西部地区的阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学（KAU）招募了一个简单随机样本的学生。在本研究中，使用了阿拉伯青少年生活方式（ATLS）问卷。调查于2022年4月至6月进行。
结果
共有659名学生参与（313名男性[37.3%]和437名女性[66.2%]）。四分之一的学生，即158名（24%）超重，83名（12.7%）肥胖。男性参与者超重或肥胖的比例分别为32.6%和19.4%。女性超重和肥胖率分别为16.2%和6.6%。此外，城市地区的肥胖/超重率为43.6%，农村地区为36.9%（P=0.03）。共有370名参与者（56.14%）每天睡眠不足8小时，185名（28.1%）每天花超过5小时看电视或使用互联网，303名（46%）经常吃早餐。吸烟者的肥胖/超重比非吸烟者更常见（59.7%对32.8%，P=0.01）。每周步行三天或更多天的人（28.1%对44.1%；P=0.01）和每周在户外或跑步机上跑步/慢跑三天或更多天的人（29.5%对39.8%；P=0.03）的肥胖患病率低于每周跑步/慢跑少于三天的人。男性（P=0.01）、饮用更多含糖饮料（P=0.01）、吸烟（P=0.03）和睡眠时间较少（P=0.03）可独立预测学生肥胖。
结论
肥胖在男学生中更为普遍，患病率为24%。男性、饮用更多含糖饮料、吸烟和睡眠时间较少都是大学生肥胖的独立预测因素。
