Abstract

Aim

This study aimed to evaluate the association between television viewing frequency and anthropometric indices in Peruvian women aged 15–49 years.

Methods

A secondary analysis of the 2019 Demographic and Family Health Survey of Peru was conducted. Anthropometric measures related to increased cardio-metabolic risk, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), Waist to Height Ratio (WHtR), and Conicity Index (CnI), were evaluated as outcomes. Television viewing frequency during a typical week (never [0 times per month]; occasionally [1 to 3 times per month]; and frequently [≥1 time per week]) was the exposure variable. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed considering confounding values as age, education level, current employment status, wealth index, residence area, region of residence, and current smoking status.

Results

A total of 13,249 women aged 15–49 years were included in the analysis. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 39.3% and 25.0%, respectively. Watching television frequently increased the odds of being overweight or obese (aOR: 1.51; 95% CI: 1.07 to 2.12; p = 0.019), as well as having higher tertiles for WC (aOR: 1.57; 95% CI: 1.12 to 2.20; p = 0.008), WHtR (aOR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.12 to 2.26; p = 0.010), and CnI (aOR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.04 to 2.09; p = 0.031), compared to those who never watched television.

Conclusions

A higher television viewing frequency was associated with obesity and increased values of WC, WHtR, and CnI. These insights underscore the potential impact of television habits on weight-related outcomes and provide valuable considerations for public health initiatives.

秘鲁妇女观看电视的频率与人体测量指数之间的关系：来自 2019 年人口健康调查的证据

方法对 2019 年秘鲁人口与家庭健康调查进行了二次分析。结果评估了与心血管代谢风险增加有关的人体测量指标，包括体重指数（BMI）、腰围（WC）、腰围与身高比（WHTR）和锥体指数（CnI）。暴露变量为典型一周内观看电视的频率（从不[每月 0 次]；偶尔[每月 1 至 3 次]；经常[每周≥1 次]）。考虑到年龄、教育水平、当前就业状况、财富指数、居住地区、居住区域和当前吸烟状况等混杂值，进行了顺序逻辑回归分析。超重率为 39.3%，肥胖率为 25.0%。经常看电视会增加超重或肥胖的几率（aOR：1.51；95% CI：1.07 至 2.12；p = 0.019），同时也会增加 WC（aOR：1.57；95% CI：1.12 至 2.20；p = 0.008）、WHtR（aOR：1.59，95% CI：1.结论与从不看电视的人相比，较高的电视观看频率与肥胖和 WC、WHtR 和 CnI 值的增加有关。这些观点强调了电视习惯对体重相关结果的潜在影响，并为公共卫生措施提供了有价值的考虑因素。
