This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Objective:
to analyze the prevalence of abdominal obesity and associated factors in quilombola communities in Northern Minas Gerais, Brazil.Methods:
cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 based on structured interviews and measurement of waist circumference; Poisson regression, separated by sex, was used to calculate prevalence ratios (PR) of abdominal obesity adjusted by independent variables and a 95% confidence interval (CI95%).Results:
56.6% (CI95% 50.9;62.0) had abdominal obesity. In the adjusted analysis, among men there was an association of the outcome with age ≥60 years (60-69 years PR=2.52 CI95% 1.33;4.75), non-smokers (PR=1.73 CI95% 1.17;2.55), and hypertension (PR=1.42 CI95% 1.11;1.80); in women, the outcome was associated with age ≥50 years (50-59 years PR=1.25 CI95% 1.01;1.54), ex-smokers (PR=1.26 CI95% 1.00;1.58), consumption of chicken with skin (PR=1.09 CI95% 1.00;1.19), and hypertension (PR=1.22 CI95% 1.11;1.36).Conclusion:
the prevalence of abdominal obesity was high among quilombolas, and it was higher in the elderly, hypertensive, smokers and ex-smokers.RESUMO
Objetivo:
analisar a prevalência de obesidade abdominal e fatores associados em comunidades quilombolas do Norte de Minas Gerais, Brasil.Métodos:
estudo transversal realizado em 2019, sobre entrevistas estruturadas e mensuração do perímetro da cintura; empregou-se regressão de Poisson, separada por sexo, para calcular razões de prevalências (RP) da obesidade abdominal ajustada pelas variáveis independentes e intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC95%).Resultados:
56,6% (IC95% 50,9;62,0) dos quilombolas observados apresentaram obesidade abdominal; na análise ajustada, entre homens, verificou-se associação do desfecho com idade de ≥60 anos (60-69 anos RP=2,52 IC95% 1,33;4,75), não ser tabagista (RP=1,73 IC95% 1,17;2,55) e referir hipertensão arterial (RP=1,42 IC95% 1,11;1,80), enquanto nas mulheres, associou-se com idade ≥50 anos (50-59 anos RP=1,25 IC95% 1,01;1,54), ex-tabagismo (RP=1,26 IC95% 1,00;1,58), consumo de frango com pele (RP=1,09 IC95% 1,00;1,19) e hipertensão (RP=1,22 IC95% 1,11;1,36).Conclusão:
encontrou-se prevalência de obesidade abdominal alta entre os quilombolas, maior nos idosos, hipertensos, fumantes e ex-fumantes.
