0977/2008 - Prevalência e fatores associados à obesidade em mulheres usuárias de serviços de pronto-atendimento do Sistema Único de Saúde no sul do Brasil. Obesity prevalence and associated factors in women using Urgent Care Units from the Public Health System in south Brazil.
A obesidade é uma das principais epidemias modernas, sendo importante problema de saúde pública e estando associado a um aumento de doenças crônicas. Fatores ligados aos hábitos de vida e características da vida reprodutiva podem ser importantes para o desenvolvimento da obesidade em mulheres. Objetivo: Investigar a prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade e seus fatores associados em mulheres de 20 a 59 anos, usuárias de serviços de pronto atendimento do Sistema Único de Saúde. Método: Uma entrevista padronizada e medidas antropométricas foram medidas em 440 mulheres. O modelo de Poisson foi usado para avaliar a associação entre obesidade e características selecionadas. Resultados: A prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade (64,3%) e de obesidade central (44,1%) em usuárias de serviços de pronto atendimento é maior do que a encontrada na população geral e está associada a um aumento do número de agravos à saúde. Atividade física insuficiente (RP=1,44; IC 95% 1,24-1,66), história de três ou mais gestações (RP=1,45; IC 95% 1,05-2,00), idade maior que 50 anos (RP=1,34; IC 95% 1,00-1,82) e obesidade central estão associados a uma prevalência maior de obesidade. Conclusão: A prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade é alta em mulheres usuárias de serviços de pronto atendimento, associada às características da vida reprodutiva, e hábitos de vida potencialmente modificáveis.

Abstract:
Obesity is one of the world major epidemics, being important public health problem and it is associated with an increase of chronic diseases. Risk factors associated with lifestyle and characteristics of reproductive life can be important factors to development of obesity in women. Objective: Investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity and associated factors in women 20 to 59 years old, using Urgent Care Units from the Public Health System. Methods: A standardized interview and anthropometric measurements were done, in 440 women. Factors associated with the presence of overweight/obesity were investigated using a Poisson with robust variance model. Results: There is an increased prevalence of overweight and obesity (64.3%) as well as central obesity (44.1%) in women using Urgent Care Units. This prevalence is associated with increased adverse outcomes rates. Insufficient physical activity (PR=1.44; 95% CI 1.24-1.66), have had three or more pregnancies (PR=1.45; 95% CI 1.05-2.00), age higher than 50 years old (PR=1.34; 95%CI 1.00-1.82) and central obesity (PR=1.92; 95% CI 1.64-2.25) were associated with higher prevalence of obesity. Conclusion: There is a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity among women using Urgent Care Units, associated to characteristics of reproductive cycle, and potential modifiable lifestyle.
