dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Overweight and obesity are a well-known public
health problem associated with chronical diseases such as heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Body composition and nutritional status monitoring are very important for planning preventive measures
towards health promotion.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate nutritional status and body composition among a sample of adults in Vojvodina, a
northern region in Serbia.
Method / Design: 287 female and 105 male adults, aged between
18 to 65 years participated in the study. Nutritional status was defined
using body mass index (BMI), according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Body composition was measured by InBody 720
body analyzer device, using the bioelectrical impedance method.
Results: A prevalence of overweight of 31,6% and of obesity by
58,6% were found. Additionally, 16,9% of subjects met criteria for class
2 obesity and 9,4% met criteria for extreme obesity. Women showed
higher percentage of overweight (33,4%) than men (26,7%) but levels
of obesity were higher in men (69,5%) than in women (54,7%). Mean
of % body fat within BMI groups: in normal BMI (22,57%), overweight
(32,74%) and obese (43,86%). The average values of the fitness score
and % skeletal muscle mass decrease with increasing age.
Conclusions: High prevalence of overweight and obesity requires
public health action. Healthy lifestyle, balanced diet with low caloric
intake and increased physical activity must be promoted within prevention strategy and control of obesity in adults in northern Serbia. | |
