摘要

背景：肥胖症是沙特阿拉伯王国（KSA）面临的一项重大公共卫生挑战，对个人健康和医疗保健系统产生深远影响。最近的流行病学研究报告了国内肥胖症患病率的不同趋势。这项以人口为基础的研究旨在估算肥胖症的患病率，确定行为风险因素，并利用具有全国代表性的样本评估与超重和肥胖症相关的并发症。研究结果将为有针对性的公共卫生政策提供信息，优化医疗资源配置，并通过促进更健康的生活方式和减少慢性疾病来支持沙特 2030 愿景目标：本研究分析了 2019 年沙特阿拉伯王国世界卫生调查（KSAWHS）的数据，该调查由卫生部利用具有全国代表性的样本实施。研究采用基于 2010 年人口普查的分层三阶段抽样设计，从 13 个行政区域选取了 10,000 个家庭。数据收集内容包括社会人口学、人体测量以及征得同意的个人医疗信息。连续变量以均数±标准差表示，单变量分析采用单因素方差分析和卡方检验。逻辑回归确定了肥胖和超重的预测因素，报告了几率比（OR）和 95% 的置信区间（CI）。分析在 SPSS (v29) 中进行：本研究共纳入金沙萨不同地区的 7930 名成年人。肥胖和超重的总体发生率分别为 20.3% 和 38.7%。男性超重率（44.4%）明显高于女性（35.6%），而女性肥胖率（22.1%）则高于男性（18.6%）（p p p 结论：在沙特，肥胖和超重带来的负担仍然令人担忧，因为肥胖和超重有可能导致代谢、心血管和心理疾病，影响患者和医疗系统。紧急干预措施，包括有针对性的公共卫生运动、生活方式调整和政策驱动战略，对于遏制肥胖趋势和促进长期健康改善至关重要。

Comorbidities of overweight and obesity associated risk factor in Saudi Arabia: a population-based analysis.

Background: Obesity is a significant public health challenge in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), with profound impacts on individual well-being and the healthcare system. Recent epidemiological studies have reported variable trends in obesity prevalence within the country. This population-based study aimed to estimate the prevalence, identify behavioral risk factors, and assess comorbidities associated with overweight and obesity using a nationally representative sample in KSA. Findings will inform targeted public health policies, optimize healthcare resource allocation, and support Saudi Vision 2030 goals by promoting healthier lifestyles and reducing chronic diseases.

Methods: This study analyzed data from the 2019 Kingdom of Saudi Arabia World Health Survey (KSAWHS), implemented by the Ministry of Health using a nationally representative sample. A stratified, three-stage sampling design based on the 2010 Census was used to select 10,000 households from 13 administrative regions. Data collection included socio-demographic, anthropometric measurements and medical information from consenting individuals. Continuous variables were summarized as mean ± SD, and univariate analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and Chi-square tests. Logistic regression identified predictors of obesity and overweight, reporting odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Analyses were conducted in SPSS (v29).

Results: A total of 7930 adults across different regions in KSA were included in this study. The overall prevalence of obesity and overweight was 20.3% and 38.7%, respectively. Overweight was significantly more prevalent in males (44.4%) than females (35.6%), whereas obesity was more common in females (22.1%) compared to males (18.6%) (p < 0.001). Regional differences were observed with the West region reporting the lowest prevalence of obesity (16.5%) and overweight (37.3%) (p < 0.001). Married individuals exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of both obesity and overweight (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: The burden of obesity and overweight in KSA is still alarming due to the associated risk of metabolic, cardiovascular, and psychological disorders, affecting both patients and the healthcare system. Urgent interventions, including targeted public health campaigns, lifestyle modifications, and policy-driven strategies, are essential to curb obesity trends and promote long-term health improvements.

期刊介绍： Global Health Action is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal affiliated with the Unit of Epidemiology and Global Health, Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine at Umeå University, Sweden. The Unit hosts the Umeå International School of Public Health and the Umeå Centre for Global Health Research. Vision: Our vision is to be a leading journal in the global health field, narrowing health information gaps and contributing to the implementation of policies and actions that lead to improved global health. Aim: The widening gap between the winners and losers of globalisation presents major public health challenges. To meet these challenges, it is crucial to generate new knowledge and evidence in the field and in settings where the evidence is lacking, as well as to bridge the gaps between existing knowledge and implementation of relevant findings. Thus, the aim of Global Health Action is to contribute to fuelling a more concrete, hands-on approach to addressing global health challenges. Manuscripts suggesting strategies for practical interventions and research implementations where none already exist are specifically welcomed. Further, the journal encourages articles from low- and middle-income countries, while also welcoming articles originated from South-South and South-North collaborations. All articles are expected to address a global agenda and include a strong implementation or policy component.
