Abstract

Introduction and objective: Being overweight or obese increases the risk of numerous serious diseases and health conditions. It is also a reason for an increased risk of disability. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of general and abdominal obesity and overweight in Polish adults.

Material and methods: A total of 2,000 individuals randomly selected from the Polish population were evaluated. The group included 999 men aged 19-64. Analyses were based on the standardized measurements of weight, height and waist circumference.

Results: Excess body weight was noted in 51% of respondents (55% of men, 47% of women). There was a significant increase in BMI with age (19-30 years: 24.15 ± 3.93, 31-50 years: 25.75 ± 4.15 and 51-64 years: 27.23 ± 4.69 kg/m2). Men were over 43% more likely to develop excess body weight than women (OR = 1.438). The odds increased with age (OR = 1.046). Abdominal overweight was found in 21.2%, and abdominal obesity in 27.2% of respondents. The prevalence of abdominal obesity was higher in women (39.6%) than in men (14.1%). The prevalence of abdominal obesity and overweight increased with age (19-30 years: 32.1%, 31-50 years: 47.9% and 51-64 years: 66.2%).

Conclusions: Excess body weight occurs much more commonly in men than in women, with women suffering from obesity more often. The visceral distribution of the adipose tissue dominates in the Polish population, which is a serious risk factor for metabolic diseases. The chances of developing abdominal obesity in the studied population increase with age. Determining the risk of diet-related diseases requires further analyses comprising physical activity and nutrition against socio-demographic data.

波兰每两个成年居民(18-64岁)中就有一个超重——2017-2020年进行的代表性横断面研究的结果。
简介和目的:超重或肥胖增加了许多严重疾病和健康状况的风险。这也是残疾风险增加的一个原因。该研究的目的是评估波兰成年人一般肥胖和腹部肥胖以及超重的患病率。材料和方法:从波兰人口中随机抽取2000人进行评估。该小组包括999名年龄在19-64岁之间的男性。分析是基于体重、身高和腰围的标准化测量。结果:51%的受访者(55%的男性,47%的女性)体重超标。BMI随年龄增加有显著性差异(19-30岁:24.15±3.93,31-50岁:25.75±4.15,51-64岁:27.23±4.69 kg/m2)。男性超重的可能性比女性高43% (OR = 1.438)。随着年龄的增长,患病几率增加(OR = 1.046)。腹部超重占21.2%,腹部肥胖占27.2%。女性腹部肥胖的患病率(39.6%)高于男性(14.1%)。腹部肥胖和超重的患病率随着年龄的增长而增加(19-30岁:32.1%,31-50岁:47.9%,51-64岁:66.2%)。结论:超重在男性中比在女性中更常见,女性更容易患肥胖症。脂肪组织的内脏分布在波兰人口中占主导地位,这是代谢性疾病的一个严重危险因素。在研究人群中,腹部肥胖的几率随着年龄的增长而增加。要确定与饮食有关的疾病的风险,需要根据社会人口数据进一步分析身体活动和营养。
