Abstract:

The objective was to analyze factors associated with body adiposity index. A population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted with 964 adults of 20 and 59 years, in Viçosa, MG, Brazil. Household questionnaires were applied and anthropometric measurements to obtain data. Multiple analysis was performed using linear regression, adjusted for the sampling design effect. The prevalence of excess body adiposity was 36.89 (CI 30.81 to 43.43) and higher in men (48.18% - CI 39.09 to 57.34). Positively were associated with body adiposity index were: female sex (p=0,002), age in years (p<0,001), those who have lived with partner (p=0,022). The positive self-rated health (p=0,048) were negatively associated with the body adiposity index. The prevalence of excess body fat was high and the sex, age, marital status, health self-evaluation and dissatisfaction with body image were determinant factors to the body adiposity increase in this population, indicating a strong risk for chronic diseases resulting from excess body fat.
