该研究旨在评估巴西东北部城市公立教师中与超重/肥胖相关的患病率、社会人口统计学、职业和生活方式因素。采用整群抽样（学校）的方法，对杰奎-巴市教师进行了横断面研究。样本包括300名教师，其中72.7% （n=214）为女性。调查了社会人口学、职业和生活方式数据。体重和身高由自述获得。估计患病率和95%置信区间，显著性水平为5%。超重/肥胖的总体患病率为47.2%。男性教师（58.2%）、已婚或同居教师（49.1%）、白人和混血教师（87.6%）、年收入为200万兰特并有长期合同的教师（45.9%）和不食用水果或蔬菜的教师（49.1%）的患病率明显较高。多变量分析后，只有性别（95% CI = 0.16-0.66）和水果和蔬菜的摄入量（95% CI = 0.25-0.98）与教师的超重/肥胖有显著关系。这些发现促使人们就是否需要采取行动鼓励教师采取积极的生活方式展开辩论。
The study aimed to assess the prevalence and sociodemographic, occupational and lifestyle factors associated with overweight/obesity in state teachers from a northeastern Brazilian city. A cross-sectional study involving teachers from the city of Jequie-BA initially selected by cluster sampling (schools) was conducted. The sample consisted of 300 teachers, including 72.7% (n=214) women. Sociodemographic, occupational and lifestyle data were investigated. Body weight and height were obtained by self-report. Prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals were estimated and a level of significance of 5% was adopted. The overall prevalence of overweight/obesity was 47.2%. The prevalence was significantly higher among male teachers (58.2%), married or cohabitating subjects (49.1%), whites and mulattoes (87.6%), teachers with an income > R$ 2,002.00 and a permanent contract (45.9%), and subjects who did not consume fruits or vegetables (49.1%). After multivariate analysis, only gender (95% CI = 0.16-0.66) and consumption of fruits and vegetables (95% CI = 0.25-0.98) remained significantly associated with overweight/obesity among teachers. These findings promote debate on the need for actions designed to encourage the adoption of an active lifestyle by the teacher population.
