“…However, the identified high prevalence of excess weight, which is much higher than that found in the country, appears to indicate a tendency observed in developed countries, where obesity is concentrated in the most underprivileged populations (8) , as that of the present study, which was socially deprived. This tendency has already been reported in Southern Brazil, where the risk for excess weight was up to three-fold among women of less favored social class (15) and the prevalence was higher among those of smaller income (19) .…”

Investigou-se a prevalência de excesso de peso e obesidade abdominal e variáveis associadas em mulheres. Estudo transversal com 298 mulheres (20-59 anos), usuárias de uma unidade da Estratégia Saúde da Família, em São Paulo-SP. Considerou-se o excesso de peso: índice de massa corporal>25kg/m²; a obesidade abdominal: circunferência da cintura 0,80m ou razão cintura-quadril>0,85. Realizou-se análise de regressão logística. O excesso de peso afetou 56% das mulheres, sendo 37% sobrepeso e 19% obesidade, e associou-se com a idade, renda familiar, tabagismo e hipertensão. 59% tinham obesidade abdominal associada à idade e hipertensão. Observou-sea elevada prevalência de excesso de peso e obesidade abdominal em mulheres, reforçando a importância da avaliação de circunferência da cintura e/ou razão cintura-quadril no exame físico, além do índice de massa corporal, auxiliadores da predição de risco. Evidencia-se a necessidade de intervenções, junto à comunidade, que promovam a diminuição do excesso de peso e da obesidade abdominal.

“…Figure 1 shows that the men and women in this sample differed in terms of the prevalence of excess weight and abdominal obesity, as measured by BMI 13). When prevalence of abdominal obesity was classified according to WHtR, women who had spent more than 12 years in education had a higher prevalence rate than women with eight to 12 years' education (95%CI=49.45; 71.77) and women with fewer than 8 years' education (95%CI=26.07; 37.86).…”

“…In addition to excess weight, accumulation of fat in the center of the body has also been associated with increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases 8,10 . Another factor of relevance is that the both prevalence rates of excess weight and abdominal obesity and the variables associated with these outcomes can differ depending on which anthropometric indicator is analyzed [11][12][13] . As a result, the literature recommends using several different anthropometric indicators for identification of overweight and obesity 8,14 in order to enable greater understanding of outcomes.…”

“…As a result, the literature recommends using several different anthropometric indicators for identification of overweight and obesity 8,14 in order to enable greater understanding of outcomes. Notwithstanding, few Brazilian studies have analyzed the prevalence of excess weight and abdominal obesity using more than one anthropometric indicator [11][12][13] . The objective of this study was therefore to analyze the prevalence of excess weight and abdominal obesity and their associations with sociodemographic factors in technical and administrative staff at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), using several different anthropometric indicators.…”

-The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence rates of excess weight and abdominal obesity among technical and administrative staff at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) using a range of different anthropometric indicators and to identify sociodemographic factors associated with these rates. This was a cross-sectional study of 615 members of staff at UFSC (283 men and 332 women). The following anthropometric indicators were analyzed: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist to height ratio (WHtR). The following sociodemographic variables were also analyzed: age, sex, skin color, marital status, socioeconomic status, educational level and employment grade. Statistical analysis was conducted using Student's t test, the Mann-Whitney U test and Poisson regression (with a 95% confidence interval). Prevalence rates for men and women respectively were as follows; excess weight: 63.6% and 49.7% (BMI); abdominal obesity (WC): 33.5% and 42.4%; and abdominal obesity (WHtR): 61.8% and 40.6%. Age greater than 40 years was associated with a higher probability of excess weight and abdominal obesity in men (by BMI and WHtR) and women (by BMI, WC and WHtR). Women who had spent 8 years or fewer in education had lower probabilities of excess weight (PR=0.67; 95%CI=0.49; 0.94) and abdominal obesity, by both WC (PR=0.62; 95%CI=0.44; 0.90) and WHtR (PR=0.49; 95%CI=0.39; 0.64). These results indicate an elevated prevalence of excess weight and abdominal obesity and show that the factors associated with these outcomes vary by sex and depending on the anthropometric indicator analyzed.
