This study aimed to analyze overweight trend and obesity in adults from Rio Branco, Acre, Western Brazilian Amazon, from 2006 to 2020. This is a time series study, with data from Surveillance System for Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (VIGITEL). To estimate annual percentage change (APC) and 95% confidence intervals, the software Jointpoint Regression Analysis v.4.6.0.0., was used. In Rio Branco, overweight prevalence ranged from 44.0% in 2006 to 58.9% in 2020, with a bigger frequency among men than that among women. Obesity prevalence has increased from 12.5% in 2006 to 21.4% in 2020, similar between both sexes. From 2006 to 2020, overweight APC was 5.2% (95% CI: 1.4; 9.1) by 2010, and decreased to 1.3% by 2020. Public policies to control obesity and its risks must be both, implemented as strengthened.

The aim of this study was to analyze the trend of severe obesity in the capitals of the Brazilian states and the Federal District, from 2006 to 2021. For this purpose, a time-series, population-based, observational study was designed using data from the VIGITEL Survey. The dependent variable of this study was the prevalence of severe obesity, which was defined as a body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m2. Time series analysis was conducted using Joinpoint Regression Analysis Software v.4.9.1.0. In this study, a normal distribution was assumed, and the average annual percentage change (AAPC) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were presented. In total, 778,445 individuals participated in the study (38.2% were male and 61.8% were female). The prevalence of severe obesity has increased from 1.1% in 2006 to 1.9% in 2021. The average annual percentage change indicates an upward trend for the period (AAPC: 4.7; 95% CI: 3.8; 5.7). When stratifying the trend of severe obesity by sex, a significant upward trend was observed for females (AAPC: 4.3; 95% CI: 1.9; 6.8). There was a significant upward trend for all age groups, skin colors, and education levels. However, the older age groups and those with less education had lower AAPC.

A substituição de refeições por lanches é considerada um hábito alimentar indesejável, visto que geralmente abrangem gêneros alimentícios industrializados, como o fast food, composto por altas quantidades de açúcar, sódio, gorduras saturadas e trans, denso em calorias, que quando consumido em excesso ao longo dos anos pode servir de gatilho para o desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT), bem com o excesso de peso e obesidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a prevalência do hábito de substituir as principais refeições por lanches segundo variáveis sociodemográficas, morbidades e estilo de vida encontrada em adultos no município de Rio Branco, Acre nos anos de 2013 a 2016. Trata-se de estudo observacional de que analisou substituição das principais refeições por lanches em amostras de indivíduos com 18 anos ou mais de idade residentes na cidade de Rio Branco – Acre, no período de 2013 a 2016, utilizando dados do inquérito telefônico do Sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas - VIGITEL. A prevalência de substituição das principais refeições por lanches nos indivíduos estudados obteve maiores frequências no primeiro ano de inquérito (2013) em 21,4%, e obteve redução nos anos subsequentes, em 2016 para 13,3%, com maior destaque para o sexo feminino, a população idosa, diagnóstico nutricional de Obesidade segundo o IMC e o diagnóstico de DM. Com base nos resultados encontrados, observa-se que a prevalência de substituição não obteve uma presença tão expressiva durante os anos estudados. Encoraja-se o delineamento de mais estudos que analisem esses fatores e sua associação com o excesso de peso e obesidade observados no município acreano.

Due to the association between the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverage and various diseases and non-contagious demages, this consumption has been discouraged. The objective of this study was to analyze the temporal trend of excessive consumption of soda and artificial juice in adults of a county of the Brazilian Western Amazon. For this, a time series ecological study was carried out using the microdata from the Surveillance System of Risk Factors and Protection for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Inquiry (Vigitel). The trend analysis was performed using estimates from the Annual Percentage Change (APC) of the prevalence of excessive consumption of soda and general artificial juice and by sex in the period from 2007 to 2016 by means of Poisson regression in the software Join point. A total of 19,030 men and women aged 18 years and over were interviewed between 2007 and 2016. It was observed the downward trend in the period from 2010 to 2016, with APC of-11.1 (95% CI =-15.9 to-5.9). When stratified by sex, the downward trend for both sexes was observed, in the male sex the CP was-6.1 (95% CI =-9.7 to-2.3), and for females the APC was-8.5 (95% CI =-12.5 to-4.4).
