    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Enfermería, 2023-06-08) Espín Yancha, Jorge David; Cantuñi Carpi, Verónica del Pilar
    Nos últimos anos, os números do excesso de peso aumentaram dramaticamente. Este problema tem sido associado a mudanças no estilo de vida como resultado de transformações sociais que modificaram a dinâmica do trabalho, do estudo e dos hábitos alimentares. Tendo em conta os problemas acima mencionados, surgiu interesse em escrever este artigo, com o objectivo de determinar o estilo de vida e a sua relação com a obesidade. Para este fim, foi realizado um estudo de investigação quantitativa com um desenho não experimental, transversal e correlacional. A amostra consistiu num total de 229 pessoas, que foram avaliadas utilizando o questionário Lifestyle II da Universidade de Nebraska e o IMC foi calculado utilizando a alturae o peso do questionário de dados sociodemográficos. Os resultados mostram que 61,6% da amostra avaliada tinham excesso de peso e 12,7% eram obesos, 50,7% quase nunca o fizeram e 49,3% só o fizeram por vezes, e 69,9% tinham estilos de vida sedentários. No que diz respeitoà relação entre as variáveis, foi demonstrado através da análise do teste Chi que existe uma dependência entre o estilo de vida e os índices de obesidade com um nível de significância de 5%. Conclui-se que os estilos de vida caracterizados por estilos de vida sedentários e maus hábitos são os principais factores de risco na manifestação do excesso de peso e da obesidade.
