摘要

摘要背景:在发展中国家,肥胖症的患病率有所上升,同时发病率和死亡率也在上升。个体的社会人口学因素可能在其体重中起作用。本研究旨在确定在尼日利亚一家三级保健中心家庭医学诊所就诊的成年人中超重/肥胖与社会人口特征之间的关系。材料和方法:这是一项描述性的、以医院为基础的研究。使用访谈者管理的问卷来获取社会人口学变量(年龄、性别、社会阶层、最高受教育程度、平均月收入和婚姻状况)。通过临床检查评估体重指数(BMI)、腰围(WC)和腰臀比(WHR)。Fisher精确检验用于检验超重/肥胖与各种社会人口统计学决定因素之间的关联,显著性水平设为P <0.05. 结果:根据BMI, 32.5%的研究人群超重,36.6%的人肥胖。43.5%的男性和92.8%的女性的腰围分别增加了94 cm和80 cm。52.2%的男性和80.8%的女性WHR升高(>0.90和>0.85)。在本研究中,唯一与超重或肥胖BMI独立相关的社会人口学因素是女性(P = 0.011)。结论:世界上没有任何一个地区能够成功地扭转肥胖流行的趋势。这项研究强调了社会人口因素如何影响肥胖和调节这种疾病的措施可以针对某些群体。

Sociodemographic Determinants of Overweight and Obesity in Adults Attending a Tertiary Hospital in Rivers State, Nigeria
Abstract Background: There has been an increase in the prevalence of obesity in developing countries with a concomitant rise in morbidity and mortality. The sociodemographic factors of an individual may play a role in his or her body weight. This study aims to determine the relationship between overweight/obesity and sociodemographic characteristics among adults attending the Family Medicine Clinic of a tertiary health centre in Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive, hospital-based study. Interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to obtain the sociodemographic variables (age, sex, social class, highest educational level attained, average monthly income, and marital status). A clinical examination was performed to assess the body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist/hip ratio (WHR). Fisher’s exact test was used to test for associations between overweight/obesity and the various sociodemographic determinants and the level of significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: With the BMI, overweight was present in 32.5% of the study population while 36.6% was obese. The WC was increased (>94 cm and >80 cm, respectively) in 43.5% of males and 92.8% of females. The WHR was increased (>0.90 and >0.85) in 52.2% of males and 80.8% of females. The only sociodemographic factor independently associated with being overweight or obese BMI in this study was the female gender ( P = 0.011). Conclusion: No region of the world has been successful at reversing the obesity epidemic once it has begun. This study highlights how sociodemographic factors may influence obesity and measures to modulate this disease can be targeted to certain groups.
