Resumo: | The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with overweight among university students from the city of Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1,104 students (mean age: 24 years) from Rio Branco, Acre. Overweight was used as the dependent variable. The following independent variables were studied: socioeconomic variables (gender, age, teaching institution, period of study, marital status, income, household members, living with other people, parent’s education level, and working or not); self-reported health and morbidity variables (health perception, hypertension, diabetes, and altered cholesterol); lifestyle variables (physical activity, watching television, computer use, smoking, and alcohol consumption). The nutritional status was classified based on body mass index. Univariate analysis was performed using Pearson’s chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test. Variables with a p value < 20% on univariate analysis were included in the multiple Poisson regression model. The prevalence of overweight was 35.6%. In the multiple regression model for male students adjusted for age, overweight was associated with marital status, household income, hypertension, and watching television every day. In the model for female students, the variables that remained associated were self-perceived health status, hypertension, and alcohol consumption in the last month. Overweight is determined by a combination of different factors which differed in the present study between men and women. |

Estudo transversal, com 1104 universitários do município de Rio Branco – Acre, com média de idade de 24 anos. O estudo teve como variável dependente o excesso de peso. As variáveis independentes consideradas foram: socioeconômicas – sexo, idade, instituição de ensino, turno de estudo, estado civil, renda, moradores da casa, mora com, escolaridade dos pais, trabalha; Variáveis de Saúde e morbidade autorreferida – percepção de saúde, hipertensão, diabetes e colesterol; e variáveis de estilo de vida – atividade física, televisão, computador, tabagismo e álcool. O estado nutricional foi classificado pelo Índice de Massa Corporal. A análise univariada foi realizada por meio do teste de qui-quadrado de Pearson ou exato de Fisher. Valores de p< 20%, na análise univariada, foram incluídos no modelo múltiplo de regressão de Poisson. A prevalência de excesso de peso foi de 35,6%. No modelo múltiplo para o sexo masculino ajustado pela faixa etária, o excesso de peso esteve associado a estado civil, renda familiar, hipertensão arterial e televisão todos os dias. No modelo para o sexo feminino, as variáveis que permaneceram associadas foram: percepção de saúde autorreferida, hipertensão arterial e consumo de álcool no último mês. O excesso de peso é determinado pela associação de diferentes fatores que, no presente estudo, mostraram-se distintos para o sexo masculino e feminino.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
