Abstract

HERRAN, Óscar F.; PATINO, Gonzalo A.  and  CASTILLO, Sara E. Del. Dietary transition and excess weight in adults according to the Encuesta de la Situación Nutricional en Colombia, 2010 . Biomédica [online]. 2016, vol.36, n.1, pp.109-120. ISSN 0120-4157.  https://doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.v36i1.2579.

Introduction: Dietary transition is codetermined by demographic and nutritional transitions. Objectives: To establish the prevalence of overweight individuals among Colombians aged 18 to 64, identify their dietary patterns and establish the relationship between this and their excess weight. Materials and methods: We analyzed the Encuesta de la Situación Nutricional en Colombia, 2010 ( National Survey of the Nutritional Situation in Colombia, 2010). Dietary patterns were established with factor analysis in 5,217 subjects, who answered a questionnaire on food consumption frequency. The relationship between excess weight and adherence to quartiles in the patterns was established with binomial regression. Results: The prevalence of excess weight was 47.4% in men (95% CI: 44.7; 50.0) and 57.1% in women (95% CI: 54.9; 59.3, p<0.0001). Three patterns were established: protein/fiber, sandwich/snack and traditional/starch. When the models were adjusted for age, sex and level of food security in the home, the protein/fiber and traditional/starch patterns were found to be associated with excess weight (test of linear trend for quartiles of adherence, p=0.007 and p=0.001, respectively). Neither the frequency of consumption of carbonated and sugary drinks, with an adjusted relative risk of 100 (95% CI: 93 - 109; p=0.913), nor that of fast food with 102 (95% CI: 89; 117; p=0.759) were associated with excess weight. Conclusions: Excess weight increases constantly with age, particularly in women, and is associated positively with indicators of socioeconomic status and subjects changing from the traditional/starch pattern to the protein/fiber one.
