肥胖已成为一种全球流行病，正在迅速成为世界许多地区的主要公共卫生问题，威胁着人们的健康和生活质量。我们研究的目的是估计超重和肥胖的患病率以及对医生咨询和使用频率的影响，此外，使用逻辑回归模型调查按 BMI 水平定义的每个组中的医生咨询是否与健康风险水平隐含的护理需求相对应。该调查于 2006 年在希腊进行，涉及由医生咨询的 645 名个人的完整数据。超重和肥胖用户分别占样本的 41.7% 和 19%。研究结果首先表明，肥胖者去看医生（OR 2.15）或就诊超过三次（OR 2.12）的几率是正常体重者的两倍。其次，我们得出的结论是，超重和肥胖亚组的医生咨询以及就诊频率是通过诸如合并症、低HRQL、低教育水平等因素来预测的，这些因素与肥胖直接或间接相关，因此与更大的健康需求有关，假设这些服务的利用具有纵向公平性。
Obesity constitutes a global epidemic which is rapidly becoming a major public health problem in many parts of the world, threatening peoples’ health and quality of life. The aim of our study was to estimate the prevalence and impact of overweight and obesity on physician consultations and frequency of use and furthermore, to investigate whether physician consultations in each of the groups defined by BMI level correspond to the need for care implied by health risk level, using logistic regression models. The survey was carried out in Greece in 2006 and involved complete data from 645 individuals consulted by physicians. Overweight and obese users constituted 41.7% and 19% of the sample respectively. The findings showed firstly that the odds of obese individuals visiting a physician (OR 2.15) or making more than three visits (OR 2.12) was doubled compared to the odds of individuals with normal weight. Secondly, we conclude that physician consultations in overweight and obese subgroups as well as the frequency of visits were predicted by factors such as co-morbidities, low HRQL, low educational level which are associated directly or indirectly with obesity, and thus with a greater health need, assuming vertical equity in the utilization of such services.
