“…Regarding abdominal obesity, the lack of large surveys in rural areas restricts the possibility of comparisons. However, the findings of this study are in agreement with the high prevalences reported in specific studies for Brazilian rural areas, varying from 11.6% in the Southeast Region (Minas Gerais) 28 to 37.8% in the South Region (Pelotas) 22 . A study conducted with women in the South Region of the country (Catuípe) 5 showed an even higher prevalence of abdominal obesity, 54.6%.…”

“…In this survey, prevalences in urban areas reached 13.2% for men and 17.0% for women, while prevalences in rural areas reached 8.8% and 16.5%, respectively, for men and women. Moreover, the prevalence of general obesity described in this study for the rural area is in agreement with the few studies carried out in rural areas of Brazil (varying from 5.5% in Minas Gerais 21 to 29.5% in Rio Grande do Sul 22 ), in the United States (39.6 to 45.7%) 23,24 , Turkey (30.3%) 25 , South-Eastern Limestone Coast region in Australia (30.0%) 26 , and South Africa (27.2%) 27 . When stratified by region, the results resemble those of the Household Budget Survey in 2008-2009 20 , which reported higher prevalences of general obesity in the urban area of the South Region in men (16.4%) and women (19.3%).…”

RESUMO: Objetivo: Investigar o papel da situação de domicílio na prevalência de obesidade geral e abdominal, usando dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2013. Metodologia: As prevalências de obesidade geral e abdominal, em zonas rural e urbana, foram descritas de acordo com o sexo e a macrorregião do país. A associação entre situação de domicílio e obesidade foi testada por regressão de Poisson bruta e ajustada com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Foram incluídos 59.226 indivíduos. Destes, 20,7% apresentaram obesidade geral e 38% obesidade abdominal (maiores em mulheres: 24,3 e 52%, respectivamente). Em zonas urbanas, as maiores prevalências de obesidade geral foram observadas na Região Sul (20,8 e 26,5% para homens e mulheres, respectivamente). Em zonas rurais, na Região Centro-Oeste (17,2%) em homens e na Região Sul (27,4%) em mulheres. Após ajuste por idade e cor da pele, em homens, viver em zonas rurais foi associado à menor prevalência de obesidade geral nas regiões Norte (razão de prevalência - RP = 0,60; intervalo de confiança de 95% - IC95% 0,40 - 0,89) e Nordeste (RP = 0,47; IC95% 0,38 - 0,59) e para a obesidade abdominal em todas as regiões. Para as mulheres, na Região Centro-Oeste, viver em zona rural foi associado a maiores prevalências de obesidade abdominal (RP = 1,11; IC95% 1,01 - 1,23). Conclusão: Os resultados evidenciam o papel da situação de domicílio entre os desfechos em nível nacional, com menores prevalências em homens residentes em zonas rurais, no entanto maiores prevalências foram encontradas entre as mulheres, principalmente para obesidade abdominal.

“…However, rural areas differ from urban areas in many aspects that are difficult to measure in population studies, such as sociodemographic, socioeconomic and cultural factors [ 23 ], and therefore, surveys that evaluate these particularities are necessary. Additionally, labor aspects in these rural areas have been minimally explored, even though it is a possible determinant of obesity in rural areas [ 24 – 26 ].…”

Prevalence and determinants of obesity and abdominal obesity among rural workers in Southeastern Brazil

et al. 2022

The objectives of this study were to assess the nutritional status of rural workers from a municipality in Southeastern Brazil and estimate the association of sociodemographic, labor, lifestyle, and dietary pattern factors with obesity and abdominal obesity of men and women of this rural area. This is a cross-sectional, epidemiological study of 740 farmers (51.5%, n = 381 males; 48.5%, n = 359 females). The sociodemographic, labor, lifestyle and dietary patterns determinants were assessed. Food intake data were obtained by applying three 24-hour recalls and dietary patterns were determined by Principal Component Analysis with Varimax orthogonal rotation. Poisson regression with robust variance stratified by sex was applied. The general prevalence of overweight status was 31.5% (95% CI 28.2–34.8%), 19.7% of obesity (95% CI 16.8–22.6%) and 31.5% of abdominal obesity (95% CI 28.2–34.8%), with higher rates in women (P < 0.001). Men of higher socioeconomic class had a 2.3 times higher prevalence of obesity (95% CI 1.08–4.90). In addition, the shorter travel time to purchase food increased the prevalence of abdominal obesity in males. For women, the older the age group, the greater the general and central obesity. A lower adherence to traditional dietary patterns (approximately PR [prevalence ratio] 1.6 for general obesity and PR 1.3 for abdominal obesity) and a greater number of places to buy food were associated with higher rates of obesity in women. Finally, women farmers with a higher workload had a 20% lower prevalence of central obesity (PR 0.80; 95% CI 0.65–0.97). Such findings demonstrate that obesity must be an issue in the health care of remote and rural populations. There is a need to promote healthier environments that respect traditional food culture through multiple approaches that consider the heterogeneity of rural areas and the differences between sexes.

“…Agricultural productivity is essential to sustaining the nutritional and health status of billions of people [3], and small farmers are critical to the global food supply [4]. However, agriculture is a dangerous profession [5] and with priority of attention [6], due to its occupational health risks and the presence of non-communicable chronic diseases and their risk factors [7][8][9][10][11].…”

“…Despite the finding of an increase in the morbidity and mortality profile of this population [7][8][9][10][11], representative research on the food consumption of farmers and the rural population is still scarce [18], especially studies developed with the purpose of studying the dietary patterns of these populations and their associated factors [4][5][6][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

Background: The eating habits have changed in the last few decades, but few studies prioritize the food consumption of farmers and the rural population. In this scenario, the objective of this paper was to define the dietary patterns of farmers in a Brazilian municipality and explore the sociodemographic, occupational and lifestyle factors to the high adherence these dietary patterns. Methods: This is a cross-sectional epidemiological study of 740 farmers (51.5%, n=381 males; 48.5%, n=359 females) from a municipality in Southeastern Brazil. Food intake data were obtained by applying multipass 24-hour recall and dietary intake was presented in dietary patterns determined by Principal Component Analysis with varimax orthogonal rotation.Results: Three dietary patterns were identified. The first pattern, “local traditional”, was associated with sociodemographic and labor variables, being considered typical of the region's farmer as white race/color (p=0.003), not extra-physical activity (p=0.014) and cultivating 5 or more crops (p=0.005). The permanence of a “traditional Brazilian” pattern and the occurrence of an “industrialized” pattern were also observed. Farmers working in non-conventional agriculture were 54% less adhere to “traditional Brazilian” pattern (OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.25–0.86, p=0.014). Individuals aged 50 and over years were 82% less likely (OR 0.18, 95% CI 0.10–0.30) to adhere to “industrialized” pattern. Still, individuals of lower socioeconomic class were 52% less likely to adhere to this pattern (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.24–0.96). Farmers who spent R$ 200 or more per capita to buy food were more than twice as likely to adhere to this food pattern (95% CI 1.32–3.73), and who had the habit of frequently eating out were 1.62 as likely adhere to “industrialized” pattern (95% CI 1.11–2.36). Conclusion: The findings indicate changes in dietary patterns in rural areas of the country, maintaining a traditional Brazilian pattern, as well as a local and an industrialized pattern. This last pattern demonstrates that the contemporary rural population also opts for a diet with ultra-processed products, being associated with the characteristic habits of a more urbanized rural region.
