Abstract
Introduction and objective

Our aim was to examine the secular trends in obesity prevalence among Spanish adults with diabetes.

Material and methods

Data were collected from 8 waves (from 1987 to 2012) of the National Health Surveys (NHS). NHS are cross-sectional studies conducted in representative samples of the Spanish adult population. Data of 7378 adults (≥16 years) who reported having been diagnosed of diabetes were analyzed. Previously validated self-reported weight and height were used to estimate body mass index (BMI). Obesity was defined as a BMI of 30kg/m2 or greater. Age-adjusted obesity prevalence for each wave was calculated by the direct standardization method.

Results

From 1987 to 2012 age-adjusted prevalence of obesity among persons with diabetes increased from 18.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 14.2–22.2%) to 39.8% (95% CI: 36.8–42.8%). Age-adjusted prevalence of obesity in males with diabetes increased from 13.2% (95% CI: 7.3–19.1%) to 38.0% (95% CI: 33.8–42.1%) and in females from 23.0% (95% CI: 17.6–28.4%) to 42.3% (95% CI: 38.0–46.6%).

Conclusions

Between 1987 and 2012 the prevalence of obesity markedly increased in Spain among adults with diabetes.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivo

Nuestro objetivo fue conocer la tendencia de la prevalencia de obesidad entre adultos españoles con diabetes.

Material y métodos

Se utilizaron 8 (1987-2012) Encuestas Nacionales de Salud (ENS). Las ENS son estudios transversales realizados en muestras representativas de la población adulta española. Se analizaron datos de 7.378 adultos (≥16 años) que refirieron un diagnóstico de diabetes. El índice de masa corporal (IMC) se calculó a partir de los datos auto-referidos de peso y talla validados previamente. Se definió obesidad como un IMC30kg/m2. Se calculó para cada encuesta la prevalencia de obesidad ajustada por edad con el método directo de estandarización.

Resultados

Desde 1987 a 2012 la prevalencia de obesidad ajustada aumentó en adultos con diabetes del 18,2% (intervalo de confianza [IC] 95%: 14,2-22,2%) al 39,8% (IC 95%: 36,8-42,8%). La prevalencia ajustada de obesidad en varones con diabetes aumentó del 13,2% (IC 95%: 7,3-19,1%) al 38,0% (IC 95%: 33,8-42,1%); en mujeres con diabetes aumentó del 23,0% (IC 95%: 17,6-28,4%) al 42,3% (IC 95%: 38,0-46,6%).

Conclusiones

Entre 1987 y 2012 la prevalencia de obesidad aumentó notablemente en adultos españoles con diabetes.
