The obesity trends in general population of the republic of Serbia
Апстракт
OBJECTIVES: It is known the obesity increases in general population of the Republic
of Serbia; the average value of the BMI in adults was 26.0 and 26.7 (2000 vs. 2006).
Proposed study, conducted in 2007 had been focused on the dietary behavior and
consumption of dietary supplement among the adults, as well as gender differences.
METHODS: An observational, prospective study was performed among adults (both,
males and females) in form of short questionnaire. The questionnaire included 14
topics covering the following concepts: personal data, usage and knowledge of dietary
supplements and other way for weight loss. A total of 993 adults were included, 224
(22.56%) who used dietary supplements and 769 (77.44%) who didn’t. The study
was conducted in public pharmacy setting of three cities of Serbia (Belgrade, Novi Sad
and Nis). RESULTS: The mean value of BMI for male was 26.25 and female 23.79,
difference was statistically signifi cant. It is showed the BMI values were higher in ...all
age groups of males compared to those of females, except in 60 years of age and older.
In both cohorts groups the obesity became clinically significant in population older
than 40 years of age. Of 224 examinees, only 10% used dietary supplements every
day and 12% used it sparingly. The main purpose of their usage is improvement of
physical appearance (49%), disease prevention (41%) and existing disease (10%).
Previously to dietary supplements use the examinees tried to lose weight through diet
(35%), exercise (24%), lower food portions without any diet (23%), more water
consumption (11%), and 7% did not take any action. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude
the outcomes of the proposed study have showed the somewhat awareness and
behavior toward obesity in domain of disease prevention and gender difference (males
have higher BMI values) exist in the general population of the Republic of Serbia.
