Abstract

Giriş: Obezite, yüksek
prevalansı ve eşlik eden komorbiditeleri nedeniyle toplum sağlığını tehdit eden
en önemli sorunlardan biridir. Bu komorbiditelerin her birinin sağlık için
çeşitli riskleri vardır. Obezite ile ilişkili komorbiditeler hakkında insanların
farkındalığını araştıran çok az çalışma vardır.

Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya,
Endokrinoloji ve Dahiliye polikliniklerine başvuran, vücut kitle indeksi
>18,5kg/m² olan ve obezite ile ilişkili komorbiditelere ilişkin
bir anket doldurmayı kabul eden beş yüz yetişkin hasta dahil edildi. Her doğru
cevap 1 puan olarak puanlandı. Her bir katılımcının toplam puanı ve ortalama
toplam puanı hesaplandı. Skorlar normal kilolu, kilolu ve obez gruplarda
karşılaştırıldı. Anketin yanı sıra yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim düzeyi ve bel çevresi,
kalça çevresi, boy ve kiloları ölçüldü.

Bulgular: Toplam puanı en
yüksek olmasına rağmen obez grupta ortalama eğitim skoru en düşüktü. Obezite
ile ilişkili inme, meme kanseri ve osteoartritis farkındalığı obez grupta diğer
gruplara göre anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu, ancak kadın ve erkek arasında fark
yoktu. Obeziteye bağlı menstrüel düzensizlik ve infertilite farkındalığı
kadınlarda daha yüksek iken obezite ilişkili hipertansiyon ve prostat kanseri
farkındalığı erkeklerde daha yüksekti.

Sonuç: Eğitim düzeyi
obez grupta en düşük olmasına rağmen obezite ile ilişkili komorbiditelerin
farkındalığı en yüksek düzeydedir.

The awareness of obesity associated comorbidities among normal weight, overweight and obese individuals: a cross sectional analysis

Abstract

Introduction: Obesity is one of the most important community health
threatening problem, because of its high prevalence and associated
comorbidities. Each of these comorbidities have various risks for health. There
are very few studies investigating the awareness of people about obesity
associated comorbidities

Methods: Five-hundred adult patients, admitted to Endocrinology
& Internal Medicine outpatient clinics, whose body mass index was>18.5
kg/m² and completed a questionnaire concerning obesity associated
comorbidities were included in this study. Each correct answer was scored as 1
point. Each participant’s total score and mean total score (MTS) was
calculated. The scores among normal weight, overweight
and obese groups were compared. Besides the questionnaire, age, gender,
education level was asked and waist and hip circumference, height and weight
were measured by the researchers.

Results: Mean education score
was the lowest in the obese group, altough MTS was the highest. Awareness of obesity associated stroke, breast cancer
and osteoarthritis were significantly higher in the obese group when compared
to the other groups, but there was no difference between men and women. Awareness
of obesity associated menstrual irregularity and infertility was higher in
women, hypertension and prostate cancer was higher in men.

Conclusions: Although the education level was lowest in the obese
group, the awareness of obesity-associated comorbidities was highest.
