Abstract

Obesity and overweight are major contributors to the morbidity and mortality of modern civilization. This study determined the prevalence of certain risk factors for adiposity and assesses their impact on overweight/obesity prevalence. Nine hundred individuals were evaluated, aged between 18‑65 years, including clinical examination, evaluation of medical history, BMI determination and completion on questionnaires assessing nutritional intake and presence of depression symptoms. Overweight prevalence was 29.56% and obesity prevalence was 21.33%. Fast‑food consumption was the most frequent risk factor for adiposity found in 61.67% of individuals, eating <3 meals/day was found in 58.89%, sedentary lifestyle in 53.33%, sleeping time <6 h/day in 44.22%, hypercaloric nutrition in 43.56%, excessive alcohol consumption in 42.89% and depression symptoms in 31.78%. Unhealthy lifestyle a composite risk factor was identified in 67.33% of individuals. Fast‑food consumption increases the risk for adiposity by 1.85‑fold while sedentary lifestyle by 1.79‑fold. Risk factors for adiposity play an important role in increasing the prevalence of overweight and obesity. Public health measures are necessary in order to educate the general population regarding the importance of healthy nutrition and physical exercise.
