          Abstract

          Este estudio tuvo como objetivo estimar el predominio del sobrepeso y factores asociados entre adultos y ancianos. Es un estudio transversal, de base poblacional, realizado en ciudad de tamaño medio del Norte de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Fueron entrevistadas personas de edad igual o superior a 18 años. Se realizó un análisis múltiple por regresión de Poisson, tomando, como variable dependiente, el sobrepeso (IMC ≥ 25kg/m²). El predominio del sobrepeso fue el 53,7%. Después del análisis múltiple, permanecieron asociados al sobrepeso: edad igual o superior a 40 años, estar casado/vivir en unión estable, el consumo de alcohol, el tabaquismo, la hipertensión y depresión. Los Resultados ponen de manifiesto una preocupante prevalencia del sobrepeso. Entre las variables asociadas, en el modelo final, están las relacionadas con el estilo de vida. En este sentido las acciones de promoción de la salud son fundamentales para la prevención del sobrepeso entre los adultos y los ancianos.

          O objetivo do estudo foi estimar a prevalência de excesso de peso e fatores associados, entre adultos e idosos. Trata-se de estudo transversal, de base populacional, realizado em cidade de porte médio do norte de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foram entrevistados indivíduos com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos. A análise múltipla foi realizada através da regressão de Poisson, adotando-se, como variável dependente, excesso de peso (IMC ≥25kg/m²). A prevalência de excesso de peso foi 53,7%. Após a análise múltipla, permaneceram associadas ao excesso de peso: idade igual ou superior a 40 anos, ser casado/viver em união estável, ingerir bebida alcoólica, fumar, apresentar hipertensão arterial e depressão. Os Resultados destacam uma preocupante prevalência de excesso de peso. Entre as variáveis associadas, no modelo final, encontram-se as relacionadas com estilo de vida. Nesse sentido, as ações de promoção da saúde são fundamentais para prevenção do excesso de peso e obesidade entre adultos e idosos.

          The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of excess of weight and associated factors among adults and elders. It is a cross-sectional and population-based study, done in a medium size city of the north of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Interviewed people had 18 or over. The multiple analysis was done through regression of Poisson, adopting as a dependent variable, the overweight (IMC ≥ 25kg/m²). The prevalence of excess of weight was of 53.7%. After the multiple analysis, the factors that remained associated with excess of weight were: age 40 or over, being married/living together, drinking alcohol beverages, smoking, having high blood pressure and depression. The results show a preoccupant prevalence of overweight. Among the associated variables, in the final model, factors related to health style were found. By this, the action to promote health is fundamental to prevent the overweight and obesity among adults and elderly people.

          Clustering of risk behaviors with cigarette consumption: A population-based survey.

          This study assessed clustering of multiple risk behaviors (i.e., low leisure-time physical activity, low fruits/vegetables intake, and high alcohol consumption) with level of cigarette consumption. Data from the 2002 Swiss Health Survey, a population-based cross-sectional telephone survey assessing health and self-reported risk behaviors, were used. 18,005 subjects (8052 men and 9953 women) aged 25 years old or more participated. Smokers more frequently had low leisure time physical activity, low fruits/vegetables intake, and high alcohol consumption than non- and ex-smokers. Frequency of each risk behavior increased steadily with cigarette consumption. Clustering of risk behaviors increased with cigarette consumption in both men and women. For men, the odds ratios of multiple (> or =2) risk behaviors other than smoking, adjusted for age, nationality, and educational level, were 1.14 (95% confidence interval: 0.97, 1.33) for ex-smokers, 1.24 (0.93, 1.64) for light smokers (1-9 cigarettes/day), 1.72 (1.36, 2.17) for moderate smokers (10-19 cigarettes/day), and 3.07 (2.59, 3.64) for heavy smokers (> or =20 cigarettes/day) versus non-smokers. Similar odds ratios were found for women for corresponding groups, i.e., 1.01 (0.86, 1.19), 1.26 (1.00, 1.58), 1.62 (1.33, 1.98), and 2.75 (2.30, 3.29). Counseling and intervention with smokers should take into account the strong clustering of risk behaviors with level of cigarette consumption.

            Comparative appraisal of educational inequalities in overweight and obesity among adults in 19 European countries.

            In Western societies, a lower educational level is often associated with a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity. However, there may be important international differences in the strength and direction of this relationship, perhaps in respect of differing levels of socio-economic development. We aimed to describe educational inequalities in overweight and obesity across Europe, and to explore the contribution of level of socio-economic development to cross-national differences in educational inequalities in overweight and obese adults in Europe. Cross-sectional data, based on self-reports, were derived from national health interview surveys from 19 European countries (N = 127 018; age range = 25-44 years). Height and weight data were used to calculate the body mass index (BMI). Multivariate regression analysis was employed to measure educational inequalities in overweight and obesity, based on BMI. Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita was used as a measure of level of socio-economic development. Inverse educational gradients in overweight and obesity (i.e. higher education, less overweight and obesity) are a generalized phenomenon among European men and even more so among women. Baltic and eastern European men were the exceptions, with weak positive associations between education and overweight and obesity. Educational inequalities in overweight and obesity were largest in Mediterranean women. A 10 000-euro increase in GDP was related to a 3% increase in overweight and obesity for low-educated men, but a 4% decrease for high-educated men. No associations with GDP were observed for women. In most European countries, people of lower educational attainment are now most likely to be overweight or obese. An increasing level of socio-economic development was associated with an emergence of inequalities among men, and a persistence of these inequalities among women.
