ObjetivoVerificar a prevalência e os fatores associados ao excesso de peso em estudantes adolescentes em Rio Branco, Acre, Brasil. MétodosEstudo transversal com 741 adolescentes de escolas particulares de Rio Branco, Acre. Foram mensuradas as seguintes variáveis: sexo, idade, classe socioeconômica, escolaridade dos pais, número de moradores no domicílio, número de irmãos, atividade física, tempo de TV e de computador. A regressão logística binária foi utilizada para verficar as possíveis relações entre excesso de peso corporal e algus fatores associados. ResultadosA prevalência geral de excesso de peso foi de 26,9% (30,0% nos meninos e 24,2% nas meninas): apenas o sexo (masculino, OR=1,34), a classe socioeconômica (média alta, OR=2,06 e alta, OR=2,36) e a atividade física (insuficientemente ativo, OR=2,75) apresentaram maior risco para desenvolver excesso de peso. ConclusãoOs estudantes adolescentes do sexo masculino, de classe socioeconômica elevada e que praticam pouca atividade física foram os que apresentaram maior risco de excesso de peso nessa região do Brasil. Termos de indexação:Atividade física. Classe socioeconômica. Obesidade. Sexo. Sobrepeso.

“…In Brazil, studies have found higher rates of overweight and obesity in Japanese-Brazilians than those in Japan [4, 6, 7]. Overweight ranged from 34.5% in Curitiba in Paraná State [4] to 45.63% in Bauru in São Paulo State [7]. Another more specific study reported that out of the 1,581 Japanese-Brazilians evaluated in Bauru, 36.2% were overweight and 8.7% were already with obesity [6].…”

Objective To estimate which risk factors (sociodemographic, lifestyle, and health conditions) are associated with overweight and obesity in Japanese-Brazilians. Methods This was a cross-sectional study carried out with Japanese-Brazilians living in the southern region of Brazil. Data were collected between March and December of 2016 through a household survey addressing sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, and health conditions. Data were analyzed by means of logistic regression considering 95% level of significance. Results A total of 542 Japanese-Brazilians with a mean age of 47.75 years were evaluated; 52.8% were eutrophic, 36.9% were overweight, and 10.3% were people with obesity. The following variables remained associated with overweight after adjustments; male gender (ORaj = 1.85, CI = 1.24–2.76), age range of 40–49 years (ORaj = 2.27, CI = 1.10–4.68), and 50 to 59 years (ORaj = 2.17, CI = 1.004–4.72), alcohol consumption (ORaj = 2.11, CI = 1.07–4.16), and presence of chronic disease (ORaj = 1.59, CI = 1.02–2.46). The following were independent factors associated with obesity: male gender (ORaj = 3.63, CI = 1.78–7.40), the presence of chronic disease (ORaj = 4.13, CI = 1.96–8.71), the age range of 30 to 39 years (ORaj = 4.74, CI = 1.65–13.64) and 40 to 49 years (ORaj = 2.89, CI = 1.05–7.95), and irregularly active lifestyle (ORaj = 2.73, CI = 1.12–6.69). Conclusion The results of this study show that being a male in the age range of 30–49 years old, alcohol consumption, and presence of chronic disease are associated with overweight and obesity in Japanese-Brazilians.

“…Several factors are associated with the development of overweight, including genetic, physiological and metabolic factors 1 . However, lifestyle changes such as a reduction in physical activity levels and an increase in the time spent in sedentary behaviors, in the consumption of simple carbohydrates, high-fat foods and soft drinks and in food portion size explain the increasing number of overweight adults 2 .…”

Prevalence of and factors associated with overweight among university students from Rio Branco, Acre -Brazil Prevalência e fatores associados ao excesso de peso em universitários do município de Rio Branco, Acre -Brasil Abstract -The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with overweight among university students from the city of Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1,104 students (mean age: 24 years) from Rio Branco, Acre. Overweight was used as the dependent variable. The following independent variables were studied: socioeconomic variables (gender, age, teaching institution, period of study, marital status, income, household members, living with other people, parent's education level, and working or not); self-reported health and morbidity variables (health perception, hypertension, diabetes, and altered cholesterol); lifestyle variables (physical activity, watching television, computer use, smoking, and alcohol consumption). The nutritional status was classified based on body mass index. Univariate analysis was performed using Pearson's chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test. Variables with a p value < 20% on univariate analysis were included in the multiple Poisson regression model. The prevalence of overweight was 35.6%. In the multiple regression model for male students adjusted for age, overweight was associated with marital status, household income, hypertension, and watching television every day. In the model for female students, the variables that remained associated were self-perceived health status, hypertension, and alcohol consumption in the last month. Overweight is determined by a combination of different factors which differed in the present study between men and women. Key words: Body mass index; Obesity; Overweight; Prevalence; University students.
