Associação de variáveis sócio-demográficas e comportamentais com a gordura abdominal em adultos: estudo de base populacional no Sul do Brasil

Abstract: This article describes the anthropometric distribution of abdominal fat in the urban adult population in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and the influence of independent variables on this distribution. In a cross-sectional population-based study, 3,464 adults from 20 to 69 years of age were selected in a multistage systematic sampling. They were interviewed and had their largest abdominal circumference measured. Means were compared using one-way ANOVA, while multiple linear regression models were employed … Show more

“…For each additional unit in the body mass index, the possibility of blood pressure levels compatible with arterial hypertension increased by 18.3%; for each unit increase in glucose levels (1mg/dL), the possibility of arterial hypertension increased by 3.9%, while the habit to consume sleep inhibitors exerted a protective effect on the possibility of developing arterial hypertension (Table 4). the waist circumference analysis, which was also higher in comparison with ratios observed in the South of Brazil (16)(17) . Although abdominal obesity and obesity itself increase cardiovascular risks, increased waist circumference is associated with obstructive sleep apnea, which results in oxyhemoglobin desaturation episodes, provoking frequent awakening at night and, hence, sleepiness during the day (18)(19) .…”

“…Para escolher a área que recebeu a versão piloto do programa, foram utilizados indicadores disponíveis como: elevada prevalência de comportamentos de risco 25 ; menor IDH indicando adversidades sociais, econômicas e estruturais na comunidade 24 , que apresentam relação com fatores de risco para DCNT (obesidade, escolhas alimentares inadequadas e má utilização do tempo de lazer) 3,28 ; e a amplitude da cobertura da ESF, que está diretamente relacionada à estrutura de serviço existente. Todos estes foram aspectos fundamentais para justificar e manter o programa 23 .…”
