Resumo: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of excess body fat and its associated factors in freshman from a public university in the Northeast of Brazil. This is a cross-sectional analytical study involving 231 freshman with body fat percentage evaluated by electrical bioimpedance, being defined as excess values above 15% for men and 23% for women. The conceptual model considered sociodemographic, anthropometric, dietary and lifestyle variables. The results showed a predominantly female sample (71,4%), mean age of 20.0 ± 4.2 years and 53,7% belonging to the middle class. It was evidenced a high prevalence of excess body fat (48,0%) and after adjustment for Poisson Regression, were independently associated with excess body fat: overweight, abdominal obesity, body perception of being above weight and the use of food in stress situations. The high prevalence of excess body fat is a warning given the youth of the population evaluated and shows the need to insist on primary and secondary prevention measures.

Estudio transversal, involucrando a 231 estudiantes con porcentaje de grasa corporal evaluado por bioimpedancia eléctrica, siendo definido como valores de exceso superiores al 15% para hombres y 23% para mujeres. El modelo conceptual consideró variables sociodemográficas, antropométricas, dietéticas y de estilo de vida. Los resultados mostraron una muestra con predominio del sexo femenino (71,4%), edad media de 20,0 ± 4,2 años y 53,7% perteneciente a la clase media. Se evidenció una alta prevalencia de exceso de grasa corporal (48,0%) y, luego del ajuste por regresión de Poisson, se asociaron de forma independiente con el exceso de grasa corporal: sobrepeso, obesidad abdominal, percepción corporal de estar por encima del peso y el uso de alimentos en situaciones estresantes. situaciones La alta prevalencia de exceso de grasa corporal representa una advertencia, dada la juventud de la población evaluada, y muestra la necesidad de insistir en medidas de prevención primaria y secundaria.O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a ocorrência do excesso de gordura corporal e seus fatores associados em recém-ingressantes de uma universidade pública do Nordeste do Brasil.

O modelo conceitual considerou variáveis sociodemográficas, antropométricas, dietéticas e do estilo de vida. Os resultados evidenciaram uma amostra com predomínio do sexo feminino (71,4%), idade média de 20,0 ± 4,2 anos e 53,7% pertencentes a classe média. Foi evidenciada uma elevada prevalência de excesso de gordura corporal (48,0%) e após o ajuste pela Regressão de Poisson, foram independentemente associadas ao excesso de gordura corporal: o excesso de peso, a obesidade abdominal, a percepção corporal de estar acima do peso e o uso do alimento em situações de estresse. A elevada prevalência do excesso de gordura corporal representa uma advertência, dada a juventude da população avaliada e mostra a necessidade de insistir em medidas de prevenção primária e secundária.Research, Society and Development2022-07-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3255110.33448/rsd-v11i10.32551Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 10; e193111032551Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 10; e193111032551Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 10; e1931110325512525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/32551/27666Copyright (c) 2022 Larissa Pessoa Vila Nova; Cinthia Katiane Martins Calado; Maria Goretti Pessoa de Araújo Burgos; Marina de Moraes Vasconcelos Petribú; Leila Virgínia da Silva Prado; Poliana Coelho Cabralhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVila Nova, Larissa PessoaCalado, Cinthia Katiane MartinsBurgos, Maria Goretti Pessoa de AraújoPetribú, Marina de Moraes VasconcelosPrado, Leila Virgínia da SilvaCabral, Poliana Coelho2022-08-12T22:23:03Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/32551Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:48:30.890971Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
