Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the workplace. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with 210 workers of which 119 male (56.7%) and 91 female (43.3%) selected in a simple random manner in a company in the city of Kinshasa province between November 2013 to January 2014. Overweight was determined by workers with a body mass index between 25 and 29.9 kg / m 2 and obesity by those with a body mass index ≥ 30 kg / m 2 . Results: This study found a prevalence of 23.8% of overweight workers and 48.1% of workers suffering from obesity with predominance in women (65.5% in men vs. 80.2% in women, p <0.014). The frequency of risk factors associated with obesity increased with the increase in weight status of BMI (p <0.001). Conclusion: Obesity is a common pathology in the workplace and hypertension is the main modifiable risk factor. Sedentarity is the main determinant of overweight and obesity. Obesity is a public health problem in the workplace in the city of Kinshasa because of the command and collaboration frameworks are most affected.

金沙萨市多式联运管理办公室叛徒超重和肥胖的流行病学

目的:了解工作场所超重和肥胖的患病率。方法:2013年11月至2014年1月，我们在金沙萨省的一家公司以简单随机的方式选取了210名工人进行横断面研究，其中男性119人(56.7%)，女性91人(43.3%)。体重指数在25 ~ 29.9 kg / m2之间的工人确定超重，体重指数≥30 kg / m2的工人确定肥胖。结果:本研究发现，23.8%的工人超重，48.1%的工人肥胖，以女性为主(男性65.5%比女性80.2%，p <0.014)。肥胖相关危险因素的出现频率随着体重指数的增加而增加(p <0.001)。结论:肥胖是工作场所的常见病理，高血压是主要的可改变危险因素。久坐不动是超重和肥胖的主要决定因素。肥胖是金沙萨市工作场所的一个公共卫生问题，因为指挥和协作框架受到的影响最大。
