Aim:To estimate the prevalence of obesity and associated factors in adult women. Method: This is a crosssectional study of 240 women enrolled in primary care in a city in the state of Minas Gerais. Data collection took place between April and July 2012. Results: The prevalence of obesity was 37.08 percent (n=89).The following variables are associated with Body Mass Index (BMI): age (p=0.000, OR=3.35, CI=1.9 to 5.8), contraceptive use (p=0.00), disease associated with obesity (p=0.00) and use of sugar to sweeten drinks (p=0.00, OR=3.8, CI=11.5). Discussion: The prevalence of obesity was higher than that found at national and global levels. The factors associated are congruent with those found in the literature. Conclusion: When planning and executing actions aimed at controlling female obesity, managers and health professionals should consider this evidence.

“…However, a Brazilian investigation showed the highest prevalence of overweight women was observed among women with lower levels of education (4) . The average age of the sample participants was 40.85 ± 11.22 years, which was similar to those in a survey conducted in Criciúma, Santa Catarina between 2006 and 2007 (42 ± 12 years) (15) .…”

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.

“…Em estudo realizado no Brasil nas regiões Nordeste e Sudeste, observou-se que mais da metade das mulheres dessas regiões com idade entre 40 e 79 anos têm sobrepeso 22 . Em 2011, no Sul do Brasil, verificou-se que a prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade (64,3%) e de obesidade central (44,1%) em usuárias de serviços do SUS é maior do que a encontrada na população geral e está associada a um aumento do número de agravos à saúde 23 . Segundo os dados da WHO, 59% das mulheres brasileiras encontram-se acima do peso normal (sobrepeso ou obesidade).…”

. Dessas mulheres, cerca de 70% apresentavam sobrepeso ou obesidade, resultado maior do que o índice nacional de 59%. A base fisiopatológica da relação entre obesidade e disfunções do AP está na correlação entre o IMC e a pressão intra-abdominal. A identificação do sobrepeso e da obesidade deve fazer parte dos programas de reabilitação do AP, uma vez que a redução do peso corporal pode contribuir para redução da severidade da disfunção. Com o presente estudo observa-se que as mulheres que procuram tratamento fisioterapêutico para disfunções do AP apresentam índice de obesidade maior do que a população feminina nacional.Descritores | índice de massa corporal; obesidade; assoalho pélvico.ABSTRACT | Overweight and obesity are reported as important risk factors for developing of female pelvic floor (PF) dysfunction. Thus, the objective was to verify the body mass index (BMI) of women with PF dysfunctions who sought physiotherapy treatment, and comparing it with national statistics. This is an observational study. There were evaluated the records of women with PF dysfunctions served by the Physiotherapy Service from 2004 to 2010, and included all women with the presence of any symptom of PF dysfunction. It was calculated the BMI of 312 women with PF dysfunction. The BMI mean was 28.1 kg/m 2 . Approximately 70% of these women were overweight or obese, a value higher than the national rate of 59%. The pathophysiological basis of the relationship between obesity and PF dysfunction is the correlation between BMI and intra-abdominal pressure. The identification of overweight and obesity should be part of the rehabilitation programs of the PF, since the reduction in body weight can contribute by reducing the severity of the disorder. With the present study it was observed that women seeking physiotherapy treatment for PF dysfunction have higher rates of obesity than the national female population.Keywords | body mass index; obesity; pelvic floor.Qual o índice de massa corporal de mulheres com disfunções dos músculos do assoalho pélvico que procuram tratamento fisioterapêutico?What is the body mass index of women with pelvic floor muscles dysfunctions that seek for physiotherapy treatment?
