ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED Obesity is a leading public health problem, but representative data on measured prevalence among Hungarian adults has been missing since the late eighties. AIM AND METHOD:
Joining in European Health Interview Survey the aim of the OTAP2009 study was to provide data representative by age and gender on the prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity among Hungarian adults based on their measured anthropometric data.RESULTS:
Participation rate was 35% (n = 1165). Data shows that nearly two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese. 26.2% of men and 30.4% of women are obese. Prevalence of morbid obesity is 3.1% and 2.6% in men and women, respectively. Abdominal obesity is more prevalent among women than men (51.0% vs. 33.2%), and rate is increasing parallel with age in both gender. In elderly, 55% of men and almost 80% of women are abdominally obese.CONCLUSIONS:
Besides interventions of population level for tackling obesity, individual preventive measures are indispensable.
