“…However, the identified high prevalence of excess weight, which is much higher than that found in the country, appears to indicate a tendency observed in developed countries, where obesity is concentrated in the most underprivileged populations (8) , as that of the present study, which was socially deprived. This tendency has already been reported in Southern Brazil, where the risk for excess weight was up to three-fold among women of less favored social class (15) and the prevalence was higher among those of smaller income (19) .…”

“…A permanência da variável "estado marital" nos modelos finais (sobrepeso e obesidade) tem sido também confirmada por outros autores 5,9,22 , sendo tais resultados sugestivos de que mudanças no estilo de vida dos que vivem com companheiro, entre as quais destacam-se as relacionadas aos hábitos alimentares, podem contribuir para o excesso de peso.…”
