Resumo: Obesity is a condition characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat. In humans, this condition has shown fast and worrying growth, like in pets. This study aimed to establish the prevalence of obese cats living in Alegre, Espírito Santo, Brazil and its association with risk factors. Spearman correlation and chi-square test were used, considering a significance level of 5%. The prevalence of overweight or obesity was 14% in the studied population of 50 cats. Neutered and male cats were considered a risk factor for the development of obesity, unlike physical activity, considered as a protective factor. No correlation was found between the frequency or type of food provided and obesity.

Esta condição na espécie humana vem mostrando um crescimento acelerado e preocupante, se fazendo da mesma forma em animais de companhia. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se estabelecer a prevalência de gatos obesos domiciliados no município de Alegre – Espírito Santo e sua associação com fatores de risco. Utilizou-se o método de correlação de Spearman e o teste do Qui-quadrado, considerando um nível de significância de 5%. A prevalência de obesidade ou sobrepeso foi de 14% na população estudada de 50 gatos domiciliados. Gatos machos e castrados foram considerados como fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento da obesidade, ao contrário da prática de atividade física, considerada como um fator protetor. Não houve correlação entre a frequência ou o tipo de alimento fornecido e o desenvolvimento da obesidade.UEL2013-08-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa CientíficaPesquisa Científicaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/1334710.5433/1679-0359.2013v34n4p1801Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 34 No. 4 (2013); 1801-1806Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 34 n. 4 (2013); 1801-18061679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
