ABSTRACT
Abstract This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of overweight and investigate its association with sociodemographic factors, physical activity level, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes in civil servants of a university in the state of Paraná, Brazil. The research was conducted with 339 civil servants aged above 18 years. Overweight was analyzed by self-reported body mass index. Physical activity level was evaluated using a questionnaire. Sociodemographic data (sex, age, economic status, educational level, marital status, and working hours) and information on the chronic diseases of interest (hypercholesterolemia and diabetes) were obtained from self-report. The association between overweight and the other variables was investigated using binary logistic regression. The prevalence of overweight was 50.6%. The groups most susceptible to overweight were male civil servants (OR 2.04; CI 1.30-3.22), those less than 12 years of education (OR 2.46; IC 1.43-4.23), who were insufficiently active (OR 1.64; CI 1.03-2.60), and those with hypercholesterolemia (OR 2.28; CI 1.32-3.96). This study concluded that more than a half of the sample was overweight and that this condition was associated with male sex, educational level below 12 years, insufficient physical activity, and hypercholesterolemia.
RESUMO
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a prevalência de excesso de peso e verificar a associação com fatores sociodemográficos, nível de atividade física, hipercolesterolemia e diabetes em servidores universitários do Paraná, Brasil. A pesquisa foi realizada com 339 servidores públicos com idade acima de 18 anos. O excesso de peso foi avaliado por meio do Índice de Massa Corporal, autorelatado. O nível de atividade física foi avaliado por meio de questionário. Os dados sociodemográficos (sexo, idade, nível econômico, escolaridade, situação conjugal e jornada de trabalho) e as doenças crônicas (hipercolesterolemia e diabetes) foram avaliados por autorrelato. Para a associação entre o excesso de peso e as demais variáveis foi utilizada a regressão logística binária. A prevalência de excesso de peso foi de 50,6%. Os grupos mais suscetíveis ao excesso de peso foram sexo masculino (OR 2,04; IC 1,30-3,22), escolaridade menor que 12 anos (OR 2,46; IC 1,43-4,23), insuficientemente ativos (OR 1,64; IC 1,03-2,60) e os que tinham hipercolesterolemia (OR 2,28; IC 1,32-3,96). Conclui-se que mais da metade da amostra estava com excesso de peso. Os fatores associados ao excesso de peso foram o sexo masculino, escolaridade menor que 12 anos, prática insuficiente de atividade física e hipercolesterolemia.
