Abstract:

The aim of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution of excess weight and its correlation with food insecurity, acquisition of foods according to type of processing and the Human Development Index (HDI), in Brazil. This is an ecological study using spatial analysis, with data from three surveys conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Spatial statistics techniques were used for univariate and bivariate analysis. The prevalence of excess weight was 34.2 (CI 95% 33.8-34.6%). The prevalence of excess weight showed a moderate and significant spatial autocorrelation (0.581; p=0.01), and higher prevalence in the states of the South, Southeast and Center-West regions. The prevalence of excess weight showed a positive and moderate spatial correlation with the HDI (0.605; p<0.05); acquisition of ultraprocessed foods (0.559; p<0.05) and a negative and moderate spatial correlation with household food insecurity (-0.561; p<0.05). In conclusion, the occurrence of excess weight distributed unequally in the Brazilian territory. The highest prevalence were in the states of the Southeast, South and Center-West regions in Brazil, associated with higher HDI values and proportions of acquisition of ultraprocessed foods.
