“…Mechanisms through which marital status may influence BMI to include energy intake and expenditure and metabolic changes (20). We speculate that endorphins may also play a role in weight control by exercise among unmarried individuals (22). In contrast, married individuals are extremely unlikely to experience a rise in endorphins due to a lack of exercise, which is an indirect cause of weight gain.…”

“…Accumulating evidence suggests that marital status is closely associated with weight changes (15)(16)(17), with married individuals reported to gain more bodyweight than never-married individuals (16)(17)(18)(19)(20). The underlying cause of weight gain during marriage is multifactorial and can result from complex interactions between biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors (21)(22)(23)(24). To date, the majority of studies on the association of marital status with obesity have been conducted in developed countries (1,2).…”

Background: To investigate the association between marriage and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in China.Methods: We conducted cross-sectional and retrospective cohort analyses using a nationwide sample of 36,310 individuals from the China Health and Nutrition Survey [2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015].Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity increased from 28.7% to 36.7% and from 8.0% to 14.5% between 2004 and 2015, respectively. The cross-sectional analysis showed that married individuals were at a higher risk of being overweight (OR =2.18; 95% CI, 1.90-2.51) or obese (OR =1.95; 1.57-2.43) than never-married individuals. Divorced/widowed individuals were also at a greater risk of being overweight (OR =1.80; 1.51-2.13) or obese (OR =1.67; 1.28-2.17) than never-married individuals. Retrospective cohort analysis showed that individuals who married during the study were 1.55 (1.13-2.11) times more likely to be overweight than those who remained never-married. Compared to those who remained nevermarried, individuals who remained married were 1.71 (1.42-2.07) and 1.45 (1.11-1.89) times more likely to be overweight and obese. Individuals who became divorced or widowed were more likely to be overweight (RR =1.59; 1.18-2.15) or obese (RR =1.63; 1.08-2.46) than those who remained never-married. However, the risk of being overweight or obese among those who became divorced or widowed did not differ significantly from the risk among those who remained married.Conclusions: Marriage contributes to an increased risk of overweight and obesity in China; however, this risk is not significantly reduced by exiting a marriage.

A obesidade pode ser definida como uma Doença Crônica Não Transmissível, degenerativa com etiologia complexa e multifatorial, com interações epigenéticas, constituindo um relevante fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de outras comorbidades. Apesar da obesidade ser reconhecida como uma doença multifatorial e que requer cuidados intersetoriais e interdisciplinares, os tratamentos convencionalmente utilizados são unidisciplinares. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve por objetivo elaborar e implementar uma proposta interdisciplinar para o tratamento de adultos obesos usuários do SUS. A metodologia utilizada para essa pesquisa foi quantitativa de delineamento experimental não controlado o qual comparou diferentes indicadores de sujeitos que participaram de uma intervenção interdisciplinar em grupo, realizada em dois momentos distintos. O primeiro momento considerou a linha de partida e, o momento dois deu-se nove semanas após o término das ações desenvolvidas em cada grupo. Foi realizada a coleta de parâmetros antropométricos e bioquímicos antes e após a intervenção. Houve diminuição de 3,4 % do peso, 6,99 % da circunferência da cintura, 3,2% do índice de massa corporal, 5% da massa gorda relativa e 8,57% na relação cintura/ estatura, diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os parâmetros (p<0,001). A prevalência de Síndrome Metabólica (SM) encontrada na amostra foi de 61,66%, sendo que 25,9% das pessoas, deixaram de ter SM ao final da intervenção, com diferença estatística significativa (p=0,016). Os resultados encontrados apontam que a intervenção interdisciplinar em grupo apresentou resultados satisfatórios na mudança comportamental e nos parâmetros bioquímicos e metabólicos.
