Previous issue date: 2005-02-25 / The obesity is considered, nowadays, serious problem in the public health, it has been constituted as a risk factor for chronic disease in the modern society, as mellitus diabetes, high levels of cholesterol, heart diseases and some kinds of cancer. In order to contribute for the knowledge of prevailing of the overweight and the obesity and its factors of risk, in Feira de Santana city, it has been evaluated a significative sample of the employees of Feira de Santana State University (number of 435 persons 73,2%). We use a questionnaire applied during the interview were identified biological variables (gender, age, birth ability, familiar history of obesity, presence of diseases related to obesity); socioeconomic variables (education and family income) and socio-behavioral (marital status, food habits, practice of physical activity, smoking and consumption of alcoholic drinks).Overweight and obesity were defined through the body mass index (BMI) adapting the established criteria by WHO (1997): values between 25 and 29,9 kg\m2 for overweight and the same values or bigger of 30kg/m2 for obesity. The measure of the abdominal circumference was used to evaluate the risks of heart diseases, adopting the suggested values by Latin American Consensus of obesity (1998): high risk ≥ 94 cm in men and ≥80 in women; very high risk ≥ 102 cm in men and ≥ 88cm in women. In the descriptive analysis were included all the individuals, and in the exploratory analysis were excluded the individuals with low weight (number of 18). Among the 435 participants of the study, the prevailation of overweight and obesity was 31,15% and 10,34% respectively. Among men, these prevailations were of 34,55% and 10,81% ; and among the women of 30,66% and 10,10% respectively. Using the X2 test, it has been observed age, birth condition, family history, daily frequency of food, and kind of physical activity are the variables which show differences in the distribution of weight. For a multivariate analysis it has been made a model using multiple regression with the following variables: age, family history of obesity, birth condition, individuals with and without mates, education, income, practice, duration and frequency of physical activity, number of meals, the use of alcoholic drinks, smoking. It has been done three analyses, the first with men and women; the second only with men and the third only with women. The BMI presented a positive association with family history in all the analyses; the same occurred with income among men and women. In relation to the education the BMI decreases in the answer to the increasing of the level of education only with women. An inverse association occurred with smoking among men and women, and among men isolated. The obtained results point to the necessity of the measures aiming for the control and the prevention of obesity by the official health institutions. / A obesidade ? considerada, atualmente, grave problema de sa?de p?blica, constituindo-se em fator de risco para doen?as cr?nicas freq?entes na sociedade moderna, como diabetes melitus, dislipidemias, doen?as cardiovasculares e certos tipos de c?ncer. Objetivando contribuir para o conhecimento da preval?ncia do sobrepeso e da obesidade e seus fatores de risco, na cidade de Feira de Santana, foi avaliada amostra significativa dos funcion?rios da Universidade Estadual (n=435 -73,2%). Atrav?s de question?rio aplicado em entrevista foram identificadas vari?veis biol?gicas (g?nero, idade, paridade, hist?ria familiar de obesidade, presen?a de doen?as relacionadas ? obesidade); socioecon?micas (escolaridade e renda familiar) e sociocomportamentais (estado civil, h?bitos alimentares, pr?tica de atividade f?sica, tabagismo e consumo de bebidas alco?licas). Sobrepeso e obesidade foram definidos atrav?s do ?ndice de Massa Corp?rea (IMC) adotando os crit?rios definidos pela OMS (1997): valores entre 25 e 29,9 kg/m2 para sobrepeso e valores iguais ou maiores de 30 kg/m2 para obesidade. Medida da circunfer?ncia abdominal foi utilizada para avalia??o dos riscos de comorbidades, adotando valores sugeridos pelo Consenso Latino Americano de Obesidade (1998): risco elevado ≥ 94 cm no homem e ≥ 80 cm na mulher e risco muito elevado ≥ 102 cm no homem e ≥ 88 cm na mulher. Na an?lise descritiva foram inclu?dos todos os indiv?duos, e na an?lise explorat?ria, foram exclu?dos os indiv?duos com baixo peso (n=18). Dentre os 435 participantes do estudo, a preval?ncia de sobrepeso e obesidade foi de 31,95% e 10,34%, respectivamente. Entre os homens, estas preval?ncias foram de 34,46% e 10,81% e entre as mulheres de 30,66% e 10,10%, respectivamente. Utilizando o teste de Qui-quadrado, foi observado que idade, paridade, hist?ria familiar, freq??ncia di?ria da alimenta??o e tipo de atividade f?sica s?o as vari?veis que apontaram diferen?as na distribui??o do peso. Para an?lise multivariada, foi constru?do modelo utilizando a regress?o m?ltipla com as seguintes vari?veis: idade, hist?ria familiar de obesidade, paridade, indiv?duos com e sem companheiros, escolaridade, renda, a pr?tica, a dura??o e a freq??ncia da atividade f?sica, n?mero de refei??es, uso e quantidades de bebidas alco?licas, tabagismo. Foram realizadas tr?s an?lises, uma com homens e mulheres, outra apenas com homens e outra apenas com mulheres. O IMC apresentou associa??o positiva com a hist?ria familiar em todas as an?lises; o mesmo ocorreu com a renda entre homens e mulheres. Em rela??o ? escolaridade, o IMC diminui em resposta ? eleva??o do n?vel de escolaridade apenas entre as mulheres. Associa??o inversa ocorreu com o tabagismo entre homens e mulheres e entre os homens, isoladamente. Os resultados obtidos apontam para a necessidade de medidas objetivando o controle e a preven??o da obesidade por parte dos ?rg?os de sa?de.
