Objective To determine the association between the time spent watching television and the sociodemographic characteristics with the presence of overweight and obesity in Colombian adolescents. Materials and methods Secondary analysis of the information obtained in the National Survey of the Nutritional Situation 2010 of Colombia, in a probabilistic sample of 18177 adolescents with an age range between 13 and 17 years. The time spent watching television and / or videogames and sociodemographic factors was determined. Anthropometric markers and body composition were recorded. Associations were established through logistic regression models. Results The prevalence of overweight was 13.0% (95% CI 12.4–13.8) and obesity was 3.0% (95% CI 2.8–3.3). The prevalences of overweight and obesity were higher in adolescent women [16.6% (95% CI 15.8–17.5) and 3.4% (95% CI 3.1–3.7), respectively]. Overweight and obesity were associated with being female [OR 1.94 (95%CI 1.77–2.12) and OR 1.29 (95%CI 1.09–1.53), respectively], high socioeconomic level [OR 1.22 (95%CI 1.10–1.36) and OR 1.47 (95%CI 1.19–1.81), respectively], reside in urban area [OR 1.13 (95%CI 1.03–1.24) and OR 1.47 (95%CI 1.21–1.79), respectively]. Being indigenous was associated with being overweight [OR 1.25 (95%CI 1.10–1.42)], while being Afro-Colombian was associated with obesity [OR 1.33 (95%CI 1.05–1.69)]. Watching television and / or video games for two or more hours a day [OR1.17 (95%CI 1.06–1.30)] was associated with being overweight; whereas watching television every day of the week was associated with obesity [OR 1.66 (95%CI 1.13–2.43)]. Conclusions The population studied has a significant prevalence of overweight and obesity, being overweight is associated with being a woman, a high socioeconomic status, residing in an urban area, having an indigenous ethnicity, watching television for three days during the week and looking at more than two hours of television in a day; Obesity is associated with being a woman, a medium-high and high socioeconomic status, residing in an urban area, Afro-Colombian ethnicity, watching television at least once in the last week and watching television every day during the last week.
Background: The purpose of this study to analyze the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist and associated factors in older individuals aged ≥60 years in Colombia. Methods: The data for this study came from a secondary cross-sectional, nationally representative SABE study Survey on Health, Well-Being, and Aging in Colombia, 2015. A total of 3824 participants (59.7% male, 69 (IR=64-76) years) from 86 Colombian municipalities participated. The data were collected through a questionnaire, blood tests, blood pressure measurements and anthropometric measurements. The hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype was diagnosed using high triglyceride values (≥ 150 mg / dl) and increased waist circumference ≥ 88 and ≥ 102 cm for women and men, respectively. A logistic regression analysis was used to compare the hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype and the associated factors, significance level of 5%. STROBE checklist for cross‐sectional studies was applied in this paper (see Supplementary File 1). Results: The hypertriglyceridemic waist was present in 38.7% of the study population, with a higher prevalence among females than males (44.6% vs. 30.0%). Female gender [odds ratio (OR) 1.9 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.6-2.2)]; be octogenarian [OR 0.7 (95% CI 0.6-0.9)]; live in an urban area [OR 1.5 (95% CI 1.3-1.8)] and have a lifestyle of former smoker [OR 0.8 (95% CI 0.7-0.9)]. On the other hand, it was observed that having a BMI different from normal is strongly associated with HTGW [Weight: OR 2.0 (95% CI 1.5-2.6), overweight: OR 4.1 (95% CI 3.4 -4.9) and obesity: OR 5.0 (95% CI 4.1-6.1)]. The glycemia, the hemoglobin and the increase in cholesterol also showed positive association with HTGW [OR 0.5 (95% CI 0.5-0.7), OR 2.1 (95% CI 1.8-2.4) and OR 2.1 (95% CI 1.9-2.5), respectively] were associated with increased odds of HTGW. ¬Conclusions: There is a significant prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist in Colombia's elderly and sociodemographic factors, lifestyles and biological markers are associated with the hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype. Elderly men showed greater probabilities in terms of age, schooling, geographic area, body mass inde and cholesterol concentrations. Elderly women revealed higher probabilities in biological markers
