Resumo: | ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of general and central overweight and obesity in a representative sample of the population of elderly women living in Curitiba, Paraná. MethodsThe experimental design of this study was observational, cross-sectional and descriptive. The variables body mass index and waist circumference were obtained to determine general and central overweight and obesity, respectively. Measurements of central tendency, variability, relative and absolute frequencies in each age group within the body mass index and waist circumference categories were verified. ResultsThe sample consisted of 1069 women aged above 60 years (mean=69.5; standard deviation=6.1 years). In relation to body mass index, most of the subjects were classified as overweight (43.5%), followed by obese (34.0%) and normal (22.5%). On the other hand, obesity (45.1%) prevailed in relation to the categories for waist circumference, followed by overweight (33.1%) and normal (21.8%). Furthermore, general overweight and obesity decreased from the first to the last age group (-20.4% and -11.6%, respectively), while normal weight increased substantially (+75.3%). Similar results were verified in relation to central adiposity, where overweight and obesity decreased 14.3% and 8.3%, respectively. ConclusionAn elevated prevalence of general and central overweight and obesity was verified among elderly women from Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, regardless of age. Public health programs that aim to prevent and reduce excess body fat by intervening on dietary intake patterns and energy expenditure by recommending regular physical activity are necessary for this population. |

ObjetivoInvestigar a prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade geral e central em uma amostra representativa da população de mulheres idosas do município de Curitiba, Paraná. MétodosEste estudo apresentou delineamento observacional, transversal e descritivo. As variáveis índice de massa corporal e da circunferência de cintura foram obtidas para a determinação do sobrepeso e obesidade geral e central, respectivamente. Medidas de tendência central, variabilidade, freqüências relativas e absolutas em cada faixa etária, dentro das categorias de índice de massa corporal e circunferência de cintura, foram verificadas. ResultadosParticiparam deste estudo 1069 mulheres com idade superior a 60 anos (média=69,5, desvio-padrão=6,1 anos). Em relação às categorias do índice de massa corporal, a maioria dos sujeitos teve seu estado nutricional classificado como sobrepeso (43,5%), seguido por obesidade (34,0%) e normalidade (22,5%). Por sua vez, a obesidade (45,1%) foi a condição nutricional prevalente em relação às categorias para a circunferência de cintura, seguida por sobrepeso (33,1%) e normalidade (21,8%). Além disso, o sobrepeso e a obesidade geral diminuíram da primeira para a última faixa etária (-20,4% e -11,6%, respectivamente), enquanto a normalidade elevou-se substancialmente (+75,3%). Resultados similares foram verificados em relação à adiposidade central, nos quais as condições de sobrepeso e obesidade declinaram 14,3% e 8,3%, respectivamente. ConclusãoUma elevada prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade geral e central foi verificada entre as mulheres idosas da cidade de Curitiba (PR), independentemente da idade. Programas públicos visando à prevenção e à redução do excesso de adiposidade corporal a partir de intervenção nos padrões de ingestão dietética e gasto energético, como a prática regular de exercício físico, tornam-se necessários nesta população.
