Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences of obesity rate among three ethnic groups in northern adults in IR Iran in 2010.

Methods: The present cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted on 2994 cases of the same age and sex in three ethnic proportions (Fars-native=1625, Turkman=977, and Sisstani=392). The subjects aged between 15 and 65 years old and were selected by multistage cluster sampling techniques including 150 clusters each containing 20 subjects in urban and rural areas in 11 districts in Golestan province (northern IR Iran). Obesity was defined after WHO classification by BMI (Body Mass Index) equal or over 30 kg/m(2). SPSS 16.0 software was used for statistical analysis and P value<0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results: Mean±SD of BMI in Fars-native, Turkman, and Sisstanish ethnic groups was 26.72±5.56, 26.18±5.34, and 24.59±6.72 kg/m(2), respectively. Averagely, obesity was common in 22.8% of the subjects and was significantly higher among the females compared to males (32.3% vs13.3%) (P=0.001). Also, its prevalence was estimated as 25%, 22.6%, and 14% in Fars-native, Turkman, and Sisstanish ethnic groups, respectively. Statistical differences were significant among the three ethnic groups (P=0.001). The risk of obesity was 2.041 [95% CI, 1.502-2.722] in Fars-native and 1.781 [95% CI, 1.298-2.472] in Turkman groups compared to Sisstanish ethnic group.

Conclusions: Over one out of five adults in northern IR Iran suffer from obesity and an alarming rate was shown among the women. Among the three ethnic groups, the highest and the lowest rates were seen in Fars-native and Sisstanish ethnic groups, respectively.

2010年伊朗北部成年人中法尔土尔人、土库曼人和西斯斯坦人族群肥胖患病率的差异
目的:本研究的目的是评估2010年伊朗北部三个民族成年人肥胖率的差异。方法:采用横断面分析方法,对3个民族的2994例同年龄、同性别的患者(法尔斯族1625例,土库曼族977例,西斯塔尼族392例)进行分析。研究对象年龄在15岁至65岁之间,采用多阶段整群抽样技术,包括150个整群,每组20名受试者,分布在戈列斯坦省(伊朗北部)11个区的城市和农村地区。肥胖的定义是WHO根据BMI(身体质量指数)等于或大于30 kg/m进行分类(2)。结果:法尔斯族、土库曼族和西斯坦族BMI的均值±SD分别为26.72±5.56、26.18±5.34和24.59±6.72 kg/m(2)。平均而言,肥胖在22.8%的受试者中很常见,女性的肥胖比例明显高于男性(32.3% vs13.3%) (P=0.001)。此外,其患病率估计分别为25%,22.6%和14%的法尔斯,土库曼和西斯塔尼什族裔群体。三个民族间差异有统计学意义(P=0.001)。与Sisstanish族群相比,fars原住民肥胖风险为2.041 [95% CI, 1.502-2.722], Turkman族群肥胖风险为1.781 [95% CI, 1.298-2.472]。结论:在伊朗北部,超过五分之一的成年人患有肥胖症,其中女性的肥胖率令人震惊。在这三个族群中,最高和最低的比例分别出现在法尔斯原住民和西斯塔尼什族群。
