Abstract Objectives To investigate the determinants of overweight and obesity in adults attending General Out-patient University College Hospital. Methods The study was a case-control study and was conducted over a period of five months. Interviewer-administered questionnaires were applied to consenting adult patients aged 18 – 60 years. The cases were respondents with Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 and were selected through a systematic random sampling technique until a total of 171 was attained while the controls were respondents with BMI <25 kg/m2 that were matched by age group and sex on a ratio of 1:1 to make a total sample of 342 respondents. The questionnaire covered questions on demographic data, physical activity, dietary intake and neighbourhood environmental variables. Results The mean BMI of the control and case groups were 21.74(±2.35) kg/m2 and 30.08(±4.25) kg/m2 respectively. One hundred and two (59.6%) of the cases were overweight and 69(40.4%) were obese. One hundred and eighteen (69%) of the overweight/obese respondents were females. Respondents with low physical activity were 5.5 times more likely to be overweight/obese than if they were involved in high physical activity. Respondents who disagreed to having access to commercial or public places by walking were about 6.7 times more likely to be overweight/obese than if they agreed to having access to commercial or public places by walking. Calorie intake was not a predictor of overweight/obesity in the study. Conclusions Low physical activity and poor access to commercial facilities within a neighbourhood are risk factors for overweight/obesity in this study. Public health education is urgently needed in order to prevent and control the occurrence of overweight and obesity. Funding Sources Self Sponsored.

ABSTRACTOBJECTIVES: To assess the eating habits and physical activity of adolescents enrolled in two public schools in the city of Ribeirão Preto (SP). METHODS: A case-control study was conducted to analyze the eating habits and practice of physical activity of a group of overweight adolescents and of a eutrophic control group matched for sex and age. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ short version) and a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire were applied and a 3-day food record was obtained. The nutritive value of the foods consumed was calculated with the Virtual Nutri® software. Body fat was estimated using the equations of Slaughter et al. Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and by the Fisher exact test. RESULTS: Fifty-one (44.7%) overweight and 63 (55.2%) eutrophic adolescents were studied. Mean BMI was 29.5 for the overweight group and 21.0 for the eutrophic group, and percent body fat was 49.4 and 29.1, respectively (p<0.01-ANOVA). The daily calorie intake of the eutrophic adolescents consisted of 56.7% carbohydrates, 15.4% proteins and 27.9% lipids and the intake of the overweight group was 52.7%, 17.1% and 30.2%, respectively. In the eutrophic group, 28.6% were considered to be very active and 60.3% active and in the overweight group these values were 23.5% and 70.6%, respectively.CONCLUSIONS: Information about the eating and physical activity habits of adolescents is of fundamental importance for subsidizing individual and community actions. Although adolescents report apparently adequate physical activity and calorie consumption, health professional should be aware of the high rates of overweight and obesity detected in this age range.

AbstractObjectives:To determine the sociodemographic associations of obesity in Ghana.Design:A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on a sample of 6300 adults aged 25 years and over who were selected by random cluster sampling.Setting:Two urban (high-class and low-class suburbs) and a rural community in Accra, Ghana.Subjects and methods:In total, 4731 (1857 males, 2874 females) subjects participated. Demographic data were obtained by a questionnaire and height and weight were determined with subjects in light clothing and without shoes.Results:The overall crude prevalence of overweight and obesity was 23.4 and 14.1%, respectively. The rates of overweight (27.1 vs. 17.5%) and obesity (20.2 vs. 4.6%) were higher in females than males. Obesity increased with age up to 64 years. There were more overweight and obesity in the urban high-class residents compared with the low-class residents and in urban than rural subjects. Overweight and obesity were highest among the Akan and Ga tribes and relatively low among Ewes. Subjects with tertiary education had the highest prevalence of obesity (18.8%) compared with less literate and illiterate subjects (12.5–13.8%). Subjects whose jobs were of a sedentary nature had higher levels of obesity (15%) than subjects whose jobs involved heavy physical activity (10%). Subjects who did not engage in leisure-time physical activity were more obese than those who had three or more sessions of leisure-time physical activity per week (15.3 vs. 13.5%).Conclusions:Overweight and obesity are common among residents in the Accra area. Older age, female gender, urban, high-class residence, sedentary occupation and tertiary education were associated with higher levels of obesity. Policies and programmes that promote healthy lifestyles may prove beneficial.
