“…For the calculation of sample size, a prevalence of 17.0% of obesity obtained in the Pro-Health Study was considered 24 , by presenting characteristics closer to those of the studied population, a significance level of 5.0%, and accepted error of 3.5%. The sample calculated after applying the correction for finite populations proposed by Cochran 25 resulted in 303 individuals.…”

AbstrAct:A cross sectional study to investigate the prevalence of obesity, overweight and abdominal obesity and its association with the level of physical activity (PA) measured in employees of a Rio de Janeiro University according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).299 employees selected by random sampling were interviewed. The association between PA and anthropometric markers was estimated by Poisson models (robust variance). The prevalence of obesity was 27.4% (men 22.8% and 36.3% women), the prevalence of overweight was 63.5% (men 65.0% and women 65.8%) and the prevalence of abdominal obesity was 45.2% (men 35.5% and 63.7% women). Women reported a higher prevalence of low PA (42.2%) compared to men (33.0%). The models adjusted for socio-demographic and behavioral variables and habits related to health, showed a significant association between PA and the outcomes analyzed. The low level of practice of PA (high level reference) has remained associated with the occurrence of obesity (PR = 1.89; 95%CI 1.05 -3.42) and overweight (PR = 1.40; 95%CI 1.08 -1.80). For the abdominal obesity, both the mid level (PR = 1.70; 95%CI 1.11 -2.58) and the low level (PR = 1.74, 95%CI 1.14 -2.66) were related. This study found inverse association between the practice of PA and obesity in line with what has been recommended by the WHO, and it reinforces the use of IPAQ in population studies. Specifically in relation to abdominal obesity, a remarkable gradient was not observed between levels of PA, suggesting that what is important is the high level of practice of PA.

ObjetivoIdentificar se características sociodemográficas, hábitos alimentares, situação de saúde e condições de trabalho estão relacionadas ao excesso de peso em servidores e empregados públicos municipais. MétodosInquérito epidemiológico eletrônico (online) com servidores do município de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, de setembro a dezembro de 2009. Investigaram-se informações sociodemográficas, de saúde, hábitos relacionados à alimentação e nutrição e informações sobre condições e ambiente de trabalho. Foi realizada análise de Regressão de Poisson (p<0,05), ajustada por sexo, idade e tempo do funcionário na função. ResultadosUm total de 44,4% dos participantes (n=4.893) apresentou sobrepeso, que prevaleceu em mulheres (p<0,001) e pessoas com maior mediana de idade (p<0,001), com filhos (p<0,001), casadas ou em união estável (p=0,002), e com menor nível educacional (p<0,001) e status ocupacional (p<0,001), determinados pelo International Socio-Economic Index. A regressão de Poisson encontrou associação entre sobrepeso e auto-relato de diabetes mellitus (RP=1,15; IC95%=1,03-1,27), hipercolesterolemia (RP=1,24; IC95%=1,15-1,32), hipertensão arterial (RP=1,47; IC95%=1,37-1,58), autoavaliação de saúde (RP=1,20; IC95%=1,12-1,29), cozinhar habitualmente

“…Overweight, on the other hand, is clearly on the rise, and several studies of the adult population point to an alarming scenario 2,3,4 . Although studies involving children are less frequent, estimates from an international survey suggest that Latin America is the region with the greatest prevalence of overweight among children under the age of five 5 .…”

The aim of this study was to compare the evolution of nutritional deficits and overweight in one-year-old children from three birth cohorts started in 1982, 1993 and 2004 in Pelotas, Southern Brazil. Samples from the 1982 and 1993 cohorts and all children from 2004 were weighed and measured, and their mothers interviewed. Anthropometric deficits and overweight were assessed using both NCHS and WHO growth standards. A comparison of the existence of nutritional deficits showed that, after a decline between 1982 and 1993, its prevalence stabilized between 1993 and 2004. Across the whole period, a decrease in all deficits was observed. Obesity, on the other hand, increased. A deficit in the ratio of body length to age was found to be strongly associated with family income. The group with income below one minimum wage was the only to present a significant reduction of stunting during the study period. The most significant improvements in the reduction of nutritional deficits occurred in the first half of the study period, while social differentials remained. Fighting malnutrition is still necessary among the 40% of the population considered poor, and must be accompanied by efforts to combat overweight which is being observed in all social strata.
