          Abstract

          Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência do excesso de peso e da obesidade sobre os gastos em saúde nos domicílios brasileiros. Dados da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares de 2008-2009 foram utilizados para estimar os gastos familiares privados em saúde, que compreendem os gastos por desembolso direto, incluindo a aquisição de medicamentos e o pagamento por serviços de assistência à saúde, e avaliar o estado nutricional dos moradores dos 55.970 domicílios. Os gastos mensais em saúde e seus componentes foram analisados segundo o número de indivíduos com excesso de peso e obesidade nos domicílios (nenhum, um, dois ou três, ou mais indivíduos). A presença e o aumento do número de indivíduos com excesso de peso e obesidade resultaram em maiores gastos em saúde, com destaque para as despesas com medicamentos e planos de saúde. Tais resultados foram mantidos após ajuste (renda, região, área, presença de idosos e número de moradores nos domicílios). O excesso de peso e a obesidade influenciaram positivamente os gastos privados em saúde das famílias brasileiras.

          Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of excess weight and obesity on health spending in Brazilian households. Data from the Household Budget Survey 2008-2009 were used to estimate monetary health spending, corresponding to out-of-pocket spending, including purchase of medicines and payment for healthcare services, and to evaluate the nutritional status of the 55,970 household residents. Monthly spending on health and its components were analyzed according to the number of excess weight and obese individuals in households (none, one, two, or three or more individuals). The presence and increasing number of excess weight and obese individuals has resulted in greater spending on health, especially on medicines and health insurance. The results were maintained after adjusting for income, region, area, and presence of elderly and number of residents in the household. Excess weight and obesity had a direct impact on out-of-pocket health spending by Brazilian families.

          Resumen El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la influencia del exceso de peso y obesidad en el gasto en salud en los hogares brasileños. Se utilizaron los datos de la Encuesta de Presupuestos Familiares de 2008-2009 para estimar los gastos en salud, que contiene los gastos con la compra de medicinas y el gasto con los servicios de atención médica privada. También se evaluó el estado nutricional de las personas de los 55.970 hogares. El gasto mensual privado por persona en salud y sus componentes fueron analizados de acuerdo con la cantidad en número de personas con exceso de peso y obesidad en los hogares estratificados en cuatro categorías (ninguna, una, dos y tres o más personas). La presencia y el aumento en el número de individuos con exceso de peso y obesidad en los hogares resultaron en un mayor gasto en salud, especialmente el gasto en medicinas y seguros de salud privados. Estos resultados se mantuvieron después de realizar el ajuste pertinente. El exceso de peso y la obesidad influenciaron positivamente el gasto en salud de las familias brasileñas.

            Diet, nutrition and the prevention of chronic diseases.

            Shifting dietary patterns, a decline in energy expenditure associated with a sedentary lifestyle, an ageing population--together with tobacco use and alcohol consumption--are major risk factors for noncommunicable diseases and pose an increasing challenge to public health. This report of a Joint WHO/FAO Expert Consultation reviews the evidence on the effects of diet and nutrition on chronic diseases and makes recommendations for public health policies and strategies that encompass societal, behavioural and ecological dimensions. Although the primary aim of the Consultation was to set targets related to diet and nutrition, the importance of physical activity was also emphasized. The Consultation considered diet in the context of the macro-economic implications of public health recommendations on agriculture and the global supply and demand for fresh and processed foodstuffs. In setting out ways to decrease the burden of chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (including hypertension and stroke), cancer, dental diseases and osteoporosis, this report proposes that nutrition should be placed at the forefront of public health policies and programmes. This report will be of interest to policy-makers and public health professionals alike, in a wide range of disciplines including nutrition, general medicine and gerontology. It shows how, at the population level, diet and exercise throughout the life course can reduce the threat of a global epidemic of chronic diseases.
