目的：本研究的目的是比较1994年第一次Prevalencia de factores de Nesso心血管en；Trabajadore调查和1996年第二次调查中超重和肥胖的发生率。研究方法和步骤：在两次调查中收集以下个人数据：年龄、性别、体重、身高和体重指数(BMI)。1994年的调查包括2383人，1996年的调查包括2759人。根据当前世界卫生组织的定义对BMI的程度进行分类。按性别和年龄组划分人口，并计算每一水平超重的患病率。结果：全球经年龄调整的超重患病率从26.91%上升到37.45%。这一增长在两性中都观察到了，但男性的增幅更高，从24.51%增加到40.21%。在所有年龄段中，男性超重的比例都高于女性。男性超重患病率在40-59岁组和大于或等于60岁组中较高。女性超重率在30至39岁、40至49岁和58至59岁年龄组中占主导地位。全球肥胖率(大于或等于30公斤/米(2))从13.8%变化到17.2%。特别是，全球I类肥胖患病率从9.66%上升到12.6%；男性从9.04%上升到13.05%，女性从9.9%上升到12.71%。有必要改变生活方式，以防止超重和肥胖患病率的增加。
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the first Prevalencia de factores de nesso cardiovascular en;Trabajadores survey (1994) with the prevalence of overweight and obesity observed in the second survey (1996).Research Methods and Procedures: For both surveys the following individual data were collected: age, sex, weight, height, and body mass index (BMI). The 1994 survey included 2383 people and the 1996 survey included 2759 people. The degree of BMI was classified according to the current World Health Organization definitions. The population was divided by gender and age group, and the prevalence of each level of overweight was calculated. Additionally, the prevalence of different cutoff levels of BMI was calculated by gender and age groups.Results: The global prevalence of age-adjusted overweight increased from 26.91% to 37.45%. This increase was observed in both genders but the men had a higher increase from 24.51% to 40.21%. Overweight was more frequent in men than in women in all age groups. Male overweight prevalence was higher in the 40- to 59-year-old group and greater than or equal to 60-year-old group. Female overweight prevalence was predominant in the 30- to 39-year-old, 40- to 49-year-old, and 58- to 59-year-old groups. Global prevalence of obesity (greater than or equal to 30 kg/m(2)) changed from 13.8% to 17.2%. Particularly, global prevalence of obesity class I increased from 9.66% to 12.6%; in men this figure increased from 9.04% to 13.05% and in women from 9.9% to 12.71%.Discussion: Prevalence of overweight ansi obesity has increased significantly in the studied population. It is necessary to implement lifestyle modifications to prevent the increase of prevalence of overweight and obesity.
