“…Studies conducted in several centers have shown a correlation between BMI and abdominal or visceral fat (abdominal circumference). The abdominal fat has its importance on cardiovascular diseases because of its frequently association with dyslipidemia, hypertension and insulin resistance [26]. Although abdominal circumference was classified, according to cut-off points suggested by the World Health Organization as 94 cm for men and 80 cm for women, as a measure of metabolic risk increased, few studies in Brazil evaluated the appropriateness of the use of this indicator, as well as the most appropriate cut-off points for the Brazilian population [27].…”

Introduction: There are few population-based studies conducted in Brazil outside the major urban centers, the prevalence of overweight, obesity and associated factors in the up country cities remains not noticed. Particularly, the characteristics of this phenomenon are unknown in the mountain regions of Santa Catarina (state of the southern region), which concentrate the lowest economic and social development of the state, where culture, dietary habits and climate are quite peculiar. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of nutritional status and its association with self-reported diseases in adults of Lages, Santa Catarina. Methods: A cross sectional study including adults was conducted (n = 2022). Demographic information was collected as well as anthropometric measurements, through a number of interviews and physical examinations. The outcome of the study was the body mass index (BMI). The descriptive statistic was performed, as well as simple associations between BMI and the independent variables by sex. Correlations between BMI, abdominal circumference and self-reported diseases for men and women were tested separately. Results: The prevalence of normal weight, overweight and obesity among men was 41%, 39% and 19% respectively. Among women, the prevalence rates were 43%, 31% and 26%. It was observed that the obesity increase is correlated with low levels of education. The greater the BMI the more negative was the self-assessment of health. It was found a positive correlation between BMI and abdominal circumference, with diabetes mellitus and high blood pressure levels. Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of overweight and obesity in Lages, SC. Strategies involving the various sectors of the community should be considered to reverse this process.

Fraturas são o principal agravo relacionado à fragilidade óssea na pós-menopausa, representando aumento de risco de novas fraturas, mortalidade e custos. Nosso objetivo foi verificar a ocorrência de fratura vertebral por fragilidade e relacioná-la com fatores demográficos, comportamentais e clínicos em uma população brasileira. Foi feito um estudo transversal com seleção por amostragem aleatória estratificada de mulheres idosas residentes em Chapecó, Santa Catarina, Brasil. A amostra foi constituída por 186 mulheres brancas com idade acima de 60 anos. Destas, 48,9% tinham fraturas vertebrais assintomáticas, com maiores prevalências em T11-12 e L4-5. Na análise ajustada, observa-se que existe gradiente entre idade e fratura vertebral, chegando a ser 2,3 vezes maior a prevalência de fraturas entre as mulheres com idade superior a 80 anos. As sedentárias apresentaram prevalência de fratura 1,44 vez maior do que as não sedentárias. Devido à alta prevalência de fraturas vertebrais encontrada, sugerimos a realização de radiografia de coluna para mulheres idosas para rastreamento e prevenção de agravos.

“…Knowledge of these reference values is particularly useful to detect the risk of developing diseases, both relative to nutritional surveillance and population-based studies of diagnosis 10 , with the advantage that it does not require invasive measures.…”
