Resumo: | Obesity has been increasing in Brazil in the last two decades, but there are no recent population data on dietary intake and physical activity, the two major components of body weight gain. The association of food intake (calorie and fat) and energy expenditure with body mass index (BMI) was studied in 91 university employers. Food intake was estimated by the means of four 24-hour recalls and by a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire developed using the most frequent consumed Brazilian foods. Weight and height were measured and the body mass index was calculated by dividing the weight in kg by the height in m2. Physical activities developed in the previous month were estimated through a questionnaire that included activities developed at work, in the spare time and when commuting to work or school. Energy expenditure estimation was based on the WHO equations. Multivariate linear analysis having BMI as the dependent variable showed positive associations with age (p=0.02), occupation (support staff being heavier than professors, p=0.004), sex (females were heavier than males, p=0.04). Furthermore, the daily increase of 500 calories in the energy expenditure was associated to a weight reduction of approximately 2kg in an individual with a height of 1.60 m (p=0.008). For both methods used to estimate the food intake (24-hour recall and food frequency questionnaire), energy intake and fat intake were associated to BMI (p<0.05), but sex modified these associations. For women there was a negative association between fat and energy intake and BMI, whereas for men this association was positive but irrelevant. This study indicated an increased risk of obesity with age, and an increased risk for staff employers and females. A possible misclassification of food intake among obese female was also suggested. |

Estudou-se a associação entre o consumo de calorias e gordura e a prática de atividades físicas com o índice de massa corporal, em um estudo transversal com 91 funcionários universitários. O consumo alimentar foi avaliado por um questionário semi-quantitativo de freqüência de consumo de alimentos e por quatro recordatórios de 24 horas. Peso e altura foram medidos e calculou-se o índice de massa corporal por meio da relação peso/altura em kg/m2. As atividades físicas desenvolvidas no trabalho, no lazer e no deslocamento para o trabalho e/ou escola no mês que antecedeu a pesquisa foram investigadas através de questionário. Estimou-se o gasto energético associado às atividades físicas, através de equações propostas pela Organização Mundial da Saúde. Em análise linear multivariada associaram-se positivamente ao índice de massa corporal a idade (p=0,02), pertencer ao grupo de funcionários de nível médio e de apoio, comparados aos professores (p=0,004) e ser do sexo feminino (p=0,04). Ainda, nesta análise, um aumento de 500 calorias no gasto energético estimado equivaleu a uma redução de aproximadamente 2kg no peso de um indivíduo com 1,60m (p=0,008). Para os dois métodos usados para avaliação de consumo, a ingestão de calorias e de gordura associaram-se, significativamente, com o índice de massa corporal (p<0,05), porém esta associação foi modificada pelo sexo, sendo negativa para as mulheres e fracamente positiva para os homens. Este estudo mostrou que o sexo feminino, nível socioeconômico e o gasto energético são preditivos de obesidade e sugere que mulheres obesas subestimam seu consumo alimentar.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas1998-12-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/8590Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 11 No. 2 (1998): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 11 Núm. 2 (1998): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 11 n. 2 (1998): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/8590/6047Copyright (c) 2023 Rosely SICHIERIC, Rosângela Alves PEREIRA, Vânia Maria Ramos de MARINS, Rita de Cássia PERRELLI, Maria Auxiliadora Santa Cruz COELHO, Maria Del Carmen MOLINAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSICHIERIC, Rosely Alves PEREIRA, Rosângela Ramos de MARINS, Vânia Maria PERRELLI, Rita de Cássia Santa Cruz COELHO, Maria Auxiliadora Del Carmen MOLINA, Maria 2024-04-08T12:04:21Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/8590Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2024-04-08T12:04:21Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
