El sobrepeso y obesidad en función de variables sociales

Abstract

Study of several social variables as determinants of health status, and results of health in overweight and obesity. In order to know if every social variable is associated to results of health in obesity is done in a sample sized 2,050 adult people in a Health Survey in Asturias in 2017. Social variables analysed are sex, age, place of living, country of birth, nationality, mental health, activity level, unemployment, social exclusion, educational level (self, and parents). Unidimensional, bidimensional and multivariant analysis are processed. Conclusions: Most social variables are associated to results. Bad results are in people in deprivational status in uni or bidimensional analysis. Explained variance in different models in multivariant analysis is poor, only 8-10% in pseudo-R. Combinated social variables with strong association to social variables in unidimensional analysis disappear and show only a weak association.
