Abstract

Prisoners’ weight and waist circumference were measured 6 and 12 months after imprisonment. Variables known to be associated with differences in lifestyle behaviors and obesity were considered as covariates in the study. A total of 367 prisoners were recruited into the study at baseline, with 116 of these having dropped out of the study from the 6-month to the 12-month follow-up. The obesity prevalence rate increased 50% from baseline (16%) to the 6-month follow-up (24%). Obesity prevalence rates then declined 4-fold from the 6-month (24%) to the 12-month follow-up (6%). While time in prison was associated with an increase in body mass index, this effect was influenced by intrinsic prisoner characteristics, extrinsic factors, and the prison regime.

英国两所男性监狱的肥胖与体重变化

在监禁6个月和12个月后，对囚犯的体重和腰围进行了测量。已知与生活方式行为和肥胖差异相关的变量被认为是研究中的协变量。在基线时，共有367名囚犯被招募到研究中，其中116人在6个月至12个月的随访中退出了研究。从基线（16%）到6个月的随访（24%），肥胖患病率增加了50%。从6个月（24%）到12个月随访（6%），肥胖患病率下降了4倍。虽然入狱时间与体重指数的增加有关，但这种影响受到囚犯内在特征、外在因素和监狱制度的影响。
