Resumo: Objective: To assess the prevalence of excess weight and potential risk factors in adult dwellers of a subnormal urban agglomeration. Methods: Observational cross-sectional study based on a sample of 582 adults aged 20-59 years living in the subnormal urban agglomeration of Coelhos (Recife). Excess weight was estimated by body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal 25 kg/m2. Possible associations with age, sex, race/color and socioeconomic factors (education and employment status) were assessed. The effect on the occurrence of excess weight was estimated by calculating odds ratio (OR) and adjusting simple logistic regression models. Accuracy and statistical significance of ORs were assessed through 95% confidence intervals and the Wald test. Significance level was set at 5%. Results: The prevalence of excess weight was 62.5% (n=364), with higher proportions among women (66.1%; n=251) than men (56.0%; n=113), with a gradual increase up to the age group 40-49 years and a decline from then on. In this age group, the risk of excess weight was 2.6 times. In addition to age, being female and not working were also identified as risk factors. Conclusion: The high prevalence of excess weight identified in the adult population of the subnormal urban agglomeration of Coelhos was associated with sex, age and employment status, constituting, therefore, potential risk factors for the problem.

Métodos: Estudio observacional del tipo transversal basado em una muestra de 582 adultos en la franja de edad entre 20 y 59 años, residentes de un barrio de chabolas de los Conejos (Recife). Se definió el exceso de peso por el índice de masa corporal (IMC) mayor o igual a 25kg/m2. Fueron evaluadas las posibles asociaciones con la edad, el sexo, la raza/el color y los factores socioeconómicos (escolaridad y condición de trabajo). El efecto de la ocurrencia del exceso de peso ha sido estimado por el cálculo del Odds Ratio (OR) mediante el ajuste de modelos de regresión logística simple. La precisión y la significancia estadística de los ORs fueron evaluadas a través de los intervalos de 95% de confianza y de la prueba de Wald. Se adoptó el nivel de significância del 5%. Resultados: La prevalencia del exceso de peso fue Del 62,5% (n=364) y mayor para las mujeres (66,1%; n=251) que los hombres (56,0%; n=113) con un aumento progresivo hasta La franja de edad entre 40 y 49 años cuando empieza a disminuir. Hubo un riesgo del exceso de peso de 2,6 veces en esta franja de edad. Además de la edad el hecho de ser mujer y no trabajar también representan condiciones de riesgo. Conclusión: La elevada prevalencia del exceso de peso de la población adulta residente de un barrio de chabolas de los Conejos se asoció al sexo, la franja de edad y la condición de trabajo, constituyéndose de esa manera, como posibles factores de riesgo del problema.Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência de excesso de peso e possíveis fatores de risco em adultos residentes em um aglomerado urbano subnormal. Métodos: Estudo observacional do tipo transversal, baseado em uma amostra de 582 adultos, na faixa etária de 20 a 59 anos, residentes no aglomerado urbano subnormal dos Coelhos (Recife). Definiu-se excesso de peso pelo índice de massa corporal (IMC) maior ou igual a 25kg/m2. Foram avaliadas possíveis associações com idade, sexo, raça/cor e fatores socioeconômicos (escolaridade e condição de trabalho). O efeito sobre a ocorrência de excesso de peso foi estimado pelo cálculo do Odds Ratio (OR), mediante o ajuste de modelos de regressão logística simples. A precisão e significância estatística desses ORs foram avaliadas através de intervalos de 95% de confiança e do teste de Wald. Adotou-se nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: A prevalência de excesso de peso foi de 62,5% (n=364), sendo maior nas mulheres (66,1%;n=251) do que nos homens (56,0%; n=113), com um aumento progressivo até a faixa etária de 40 a 49 anos, passando a declinar a partir de então. Nessa faixa, houve um risco de excesso de peso de 2,6 vezes. Além da idade, pertencer ao sexo feminino e não trabalhar também representaram condições de risco. Conclusão: A elevada prevalência do excesso de peso na população adulta residente no aglomerado urbano subnormal dos Coelhos se mostrou associada ao sexo, faixa etária e condição de trabalho, constituindo-se, assim, como possíveis fatores de risco do problema.Universidade de Fortaleza2015-06-29info: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/353310.5020/18061230.2015.p257Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 28 No. 2 (2015); 257-265Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 28 Núm. 2 (2015); 257-265Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 28 n. 2 (2015); 257-2651806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORporenghttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/3533/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/3533/pdf_1Melo, Silvia Pereira da Silva de CarvalhoRissin, AneteFilho, Malaquias Batistainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-02-16T12:26:36Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/3533Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2022-02-16T12:26:36Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false
