Resumo: Objective: To assess overweight/obesity and self-perception of body image in university students and the associations of these variables with sociodemographic characteristics related to the University and health-related behaviors. Methods: Quantitative exploratory cross-sectional study conducted from January to February 2017 with 324 university students in the fields of Health, Exact and Human sciences. The University Students’ Health Indicators and Quality of Life Questionnaire was used to assess sociodemographic characteristics, relationship with the university and health-related behaviors. Body self-image was assessed using the silhouette scale and nutritional status was assessed according to the body mass index. Descriptive analyses and multinominal logistic regression were performed. Results: The prevalence rate of overweight/obesity was 43.2% (n= 141) and the prevalence rate of body image dissatisfaction was 76.5% (n= 248). Female students presented higher chances of being overweight and obese (95%CI: 1.0-2.7, p 0.03). Married students (95%CI: 1.8-5.9; p 0.01), employed students (95%CI: 1.4-3.7; p 0.01) and students with an income equal to or greater than one minimum wage (95%CI: 1.4-4.8, p 0.01) were more likely to be overweight. Fair health status was associated with greater body image dissatisfaction (95%CI: 1.4-5.7; p 0.01). Better physical fitness was associated with lower chances of body dissatisfaction (95%CI: 0.06-0.47; p 0.01). Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of overweight/obesity and body image dissatisfaction among university students. Prevalence of overweight was associated with age, sex, marital status, employment, income and red meat consumption whereas self-perception of body image was associated with self-perception of health status, physical fitness and study shift.

Métodos: Estudio transversal, exploratorio y cuantitativo realizado entre enero y febrero de 2017 con 324 universitarios de las áreas de la Salud, Exactas y Humanas. Se utilizó un cuestionario de Indicadores de Salud y Calidad de Vida de Académicos para evaluar las características sociodemográficas, el vínculo con la universidad y las conductas relacionadas con la salud. Se evaluó la autopercepción de la imagen corporal a través de la escala de siluetas y el estado nutricional por el índice de masa corporal. Se realizaron los análisis descriptivos y de regresión logística multinominal. Resultados: La prevalencia del sobrepeso/la obesidad ha sido del 43,2% (n= 141) y de la insatisfacción con la imagen corporal del 76,5% (n= 248). Las universitarias presentaron mayores probabilidades para el sobrepeso y la obesidad (IC 95%:1,0-2,7; p 0,03). Los estudiantes casados (IC 95%:1,8-5,9; p 0,01), con empleo (IC 95%:1,4-3,7; p 0,01) y renta superior o igual a un sueldo mínimo (IC 95%:1,4-4,8; p 0,01) tuvieron más probabilidad de sobrepeso. El estado de salud regular se ha relacionado con la mayor insatisfacción con la imagen corporal (IC 95%:1,4-5,7; p 0,01). La mejor capacidad física se asoció con la baja probabilidad de insatisfacción corporal (IC 95%: 0,06-0,47; p 0,01). Conclusión: Elevada prevalencia de sobrepeso/obesidad y de insatisfacción con la imagen corporal entre los universitarios. Hay asociación entre la prevalencia de sobrepeso y la franja de edad, el sexo, el estado civil, el trabajo, la renta, el consumo de carne roja así como entre la autopercepción del estado de salud, la capacidad física y el turno de estudio.Objetivo: Investigar o sobrepeso/obesidade, a autopercepção da imagem corporal de universitários e as associações entre essas variáveis com características sociodemográficas, vinculadas à Universidade e aos comportamentos relacionados à saúde. Métodos: Estudo transversal, exploratório e quantitativo, realizado entre janeiro e fevereiro de 2017, com 324 universitários das áreas da Saúde, Exatas e Humanas. Utilizou-se questionário de Indicadores de Saúde e Qualidade de Vida de Acadêmicos para avaliar características sociodemográficas, vínculo com a universidade e comportamentos relacionados à saúde. Avaliou-se a autopercepção da imagem corporal, através da escala de silhuetas, e o estado nutricional, pelo índice de massa corporal. Realizaram-se análises descritivas e regressão Logística Multinominal. Resultados: A prevalência de sobrepeso/obesidade foi de 43,2% (n= 141) e de insatisfação com a imagem corporal foi de 76,5% (n= 248). As universitárias apresentaram maiores chances de sobrepeso e obesidade (IC 95%:1,0-2,7; p 0,03). Os estudantes casados (IC 95%:1,8-5,9; p 0,01), que trabalham (IC 95%:1,4-3,7; p 0,01), com renda igual ou superior a um salário mínimo (IC 95%:1,4-4,8; p 0,01), tiveram maior chance de sobrepeso. O estado de saúde regular relacionou-se com maior insatisfação com a imagem corporal (IC 95%:1,4-5,7; p 0,01). A melhor aptidão física associou-se com menor chance de insatisfação corporal (IC 95%: 0,06-0,47; p 0,01). Conclusão: Elevada prevalência de sobrepeso/obesidade e de insatisfação com a imagem corporal entre os universitários. Existe associação da prevalência de sobrepeso com faixa etária, sexo, estado civil, trabalho, renda, consumo de carne vermelha, assim como entre a autopercepção da imagem corporal com a autopercepção do estado de saúde, aptidão física e turno de estudo.Universidade de Fortaleza2019-04-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/851010.5020/18061230.2019.8510Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 32 (2019)Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 32 (2019)Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 32 (2019)1806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORporenghttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/8510/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/8510/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPonte, Michelle Alves VasconcelosFonseca, Sandra Celina FernandesCarvalhal, Maria Isabel Martins Mourãoda Fonseca, João José Saraiva2019-07-01T17:41:26Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/8510Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2019-07-01T17:41:26Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false
