Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to present age-sex standardized prevalence of OVERWEIGHT and OBESITY as well as central OBESITY and its associated variables in an adult population of IRAN.METHODS: Around 5900 adult individuals aged 15-75 years enrolled to the study from 2009 to 2011 applying randomized cluster household survey in Kerman, southeastern of IRAN. OVERWEIGHT was defined as BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) 25-29.9 kg/m2, OBESITY was considered as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, and central OBESITY was regarded as waist circumference (WC)>88 cm for women and 102 cm for men.RESULTS: The overall age-sex standardized prevalence of OVERWEIGHT, OBESITY and central OBESITY was 29.6% (29.5% men, 29.7% women), 13.0% (9.3% men, 16.9% women) and 14.4% (7.5% men, 21.5% women), respectively. "Overweight/obesity" increased by age, [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 7.9 95% confidence interval (CI): 5.8, 10.7)] for 65-75 years old, 11.7 (95% CI: 9, 15.3) for 55-65 years old, 10.1 (95% CI: 7.8, 13) for 45-54 years old compared with the first age group), female gender [AOR: 1.5 (1.3, 1.8), P<0.001], higher education (AOR>1.5 compared with illiterate individuals, P<0.001), and low physical activity [AOR: 1.4 (95% CI: 1.1, 1.8), P=0.006] and decreased by smoking [AOR: 0.4 (95% CI: 0.3, 0.6), P<0.001] and opium using [AOR: 0.5 (95% CI: 0.4, 0.7), P<0.001]. Female gender [AOR: 4.1 (95% CI: 3.3, 5), P<0.001], advanced (AOR>7 for age groups ≥ 35 years old, P<0.001) positively, while smoking [AOR: 0.6 (0.4, 0.8), P=0.004] negatively were the most significant predictors for abnormal WC.CONCLUSION: Our data reveal that OVERWEIGHT and OBESITY affected almost half of the adult population (43.0%), and central OBESITY was around 15.0%, which reflect the high prevalence of this abnormality. In addition, several demographic, social and lifestyle factors were associated with OBESITY. Appropriate interventions and strategies with a concentration of the general population are needed to deal with its potential subsequent consequences.
