OBJECTIVES: Living in an urban area influences obesity. However, little is known about whether this relationship is truly independent of, or merely mediated through, the demographic, socio-economic and lifestyle characteristics of urban populations. We aimed to identify and quantify the magnitude of this relationship in a Sri Lankan population. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of adults aged 20-64 years representing the urban (n = 770) and rural (n = 630) populations, in the district of Colombo in 2004. Obesity was measured as a continuous variable using body mass index (BMI). Demographic, socio-economic and lifestyle factors were assessed. Gender-specific multivariable regression models were developed to quantify the independent effect of urban\/ rural living and other variables on increased BMI. RESULTS: The BMI (mean; 95% confidence interval) differed significantly between urban (men: 23.3; 22.8-23.8; women: 24.2; 23.7-24.7) and rural (men: 22.3; 21.9-22.7; women: 23.2; 22.7-23.7) sectors (P < 0.01). The observed association remained stable independently of all other variables in the regression models among both men (coefficient = 0.64) and women (coefficient = 0.95). These coefficients equated to 2.2 kg weight for the average man and 1.7 kg for the average woman. Other independent associations of BMI were with income (coefficient = 1.74), marital status (1.48), meal size (1.53) and religion (1.20) among men, and with age (0.87), marital status (2.25) and physical activity (0.96) among women. CONCLUSIONS: Urban living is associated with obesity independently of most other demographic, socio-economic and lifestyle characteristics of the population. Targeting urban populations may be useful for consideration when developing strategies to reduce the prevalence of obesity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-44650","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"Department of Community Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, Colombo, Sri Lanka. carukshi@yahoo.com","annee":"2008","mois":"3","numero":"13:4","page":"448-57","auteurs":[{"ID":15779,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 19:30:49","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:30:49","post_content":"","post_title":"Steven Allender","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"steven-allender","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 19:30:49","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:30:49","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/steven-allender\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":17760,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 19:56:10","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:56:10","post_content":"","post_title":"Carukshi Arambepola","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"carukshi-arambepola","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 19:56:10","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:56:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/carukshi-arambepola\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11134,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 18:31:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:31:34","post_content":"","post_title":"Ruwani M Ekanayake","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ruwani-m-ekanayake","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 18:31:34","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:31:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/ruwani-m-ekanayake\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":44649,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 03:29:48","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 02:29:48","post_content":"","post_title":"Fernando","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fernando","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 03:29:48","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 02:29:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/fernando\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"sources":[{"ID":41355,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 02:31:19","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 01:31:19","post_content":"","post_title":"TROP MED INT HEALTH","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"trop-med-int-health-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 02:31:19","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 01:31:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/source\/trop-med-int-health-2\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"source","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"\nUrban living and obesity: is it independent of its population and lifestyle characteristics?
