Ana Paula dos Santos Rodrigues et al., « Correlação e associação de renda e escolaridade com condições de saúde e nutrição em obesos graves », Ciência & Saúde Coletiva, ID : 10670/1.fv9p48
"This article seeks to investigate the rela - tionship between income and educational level and health and nutritional conditions among the mor - bidly obese. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 79 patients at first appointment, with Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2 and age ≥ 20 years. The following data was collected: demographic, socioeconomic, anthropometric, lifestyle, biochem - ical and food intake data. Average BMI was 48.3 ± 6.9 kg/m2. There was a significant negative cor - relation between education level and the variables of weight (r = -0.234) and BMI (r = -0.364) and per capita family income with daily consumption of leafy vegetables (r = -0.263). After multivariate analysis, higher per capita family income was asso - ciated with the absence of heart disease (PR: 0.51, CI95%: 0.32-0.81), higher daily consumption of leafy vegetables (PR: 1.79, CI95%: 1.16-2.75) and candy (PR: 3.12, CI95%: 1.21-8.04). In the mor - bidly obese, per capita household income was as - sociated with absence of heart disease and higher consumption of leafy vegetables and candy. On the other hand, education level was not associated with health and nutrition conditions."
