目标:我们调查了国家和地区层面的肥胖转变,按年龄,性别,和社会经济地位(SES)及其与三个健康行为属性的关系,包括体力活动(PA),久坐活动(ST),和哥伦比亚城市人口中超加工食品(CUPF)的消费,从20010到2050。
方法:本研究由ENSIN调查的横断面数据提供。我们使用这些数据来开发一个系统动力学模型,该模型通过体重指数(BMI)类别来模拟肥胖的动力学,性别,和SES。该模型还对三种健康相关行为(PA,ST,和CUPF)。
结果:在国家一级,我们的结果表明,随着国内生产总值(GDP)的增加,肥胖的负担正在向SES较低的人群转移,特别是年龄在20-59岁的女性,SES较低。在这群妇女中,肥胖负担最高的是那些不符合PA的人,ST和CUPF建议。在区域一级,我们的研究结果表明,这些地区处于肥胖过渡的不同阶段。
结论:随着国家和几个地区GDP的增加,肥胖负担正在向SES较低的女性转移。这种肥胖转变伴随着低SES组女性的高患病率,她们不符合PA的最低建议,CUPF,和ST。我们的发现可以被决策者用来为寻求解决肥胖的特定年龄和SES政策提供信息。
OBJECTIVE: We investigate the obesity transition at the country- and regional-levels, by age, gender, and socioeconomic status (SES) and its relationship to three health behavior attributes, including physical activity (PA), sedentary activities (ST), and consumption of ultra-processed foods (CUPF) within the urban population of Colombia, from 20,010 to 2050.
METHODS: The study is informed by cross-sectional data from ENSIN survey. We used these data to develop a system dynamics model that simulates the dynamics of obesity by body mass index (BMI) categories, gender, and SES. This model also uses a conservative co-flow structure for three health-related behaviors (PA, ST, and CUPF).
RESULTS: At the national level, our results indicate that the burden of obesity is shifting towards populations with lower SES as the gross domestic product (GDP) increases, particularly women aged 20-59 years with lower SES. Among this group of women, the highest burden of obesity is among those who do not meet the PA, ST and CUPF recommendations. At the regional level, our findings suggest that the regions are at different stages in the obesity transition.
CONCLUSIONS: The burden of obesity is shifting towards women with lower SES as GDP increases at the national level and across several regions. This obesity transition is paralleled by a high prevalence of women from low SES groups who do not meet the minimum recommendations for PA, CUPF, and ST. Our findings can be used by decision-makers to inform age- and SES- specific policies seeking to tackle the obesity.
