本文以21838名年龄在20 ~ 64岁的男性和女性为样本，研究了体重指数（BMI）和肥胖与不同社会经济因素的关系。男性和女性的身体质量指数和肥胖程度与年龄直接相关。受教育程度与肥胖呈反比关系：受教育程度越低，平均体重指数越高，肥胖的发生频率也越高。这种关联在女性中更强，并显示出显著的剂量-反应关系。这些结果与在社会文化模式和生活方式与西班牙截然不同的国家进行的其他研究中观察到的结果一致，表明BMI和肥胖的这些变化与外部因素无关。
The relation of body mass index (BMI) and obesity with different social and economic factors was examined in a sample of 21838 men and women between 20 and 64 years of age. BMI and obesity vary directly with age in men and women. An inverse relation is seen with regard to the levels of education: the lower the educational level, the higher the mean BMI and the more frequently obesity is found. This association is stronger in women and shows a significant dose-response relation. The consistency of the results obtained with those observed in other studies carried out in countries with very different socio-cultural patterns and lifestyles than Spain suggests that these variations in BMI and obesity are independent of external factors.
