Abstract
Introduction: Overweight and obesity is an emerging public
health concern in developing countries.Some studies reported
fast food consumption as one of the major risk factors of
overweight and obesity.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of fast food
consumption and its association with overweight and obesity
among working age persons in Phnom Penh capital city of
Cambodia.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted
among 749 working age persons aged 18-59 years who were
selected from 12 communes from 5 districts in Phnom Penh
capital city of Cambodia by applying multistage random sampling
method. Then, the respondents were requested to response
to a structured questionnaire interview and anthropometric
measurement. Overweight, Body Mass Index (BMI ≥23.00-
24.99 kg/m 2 ) and obesity (BMI≥25.00 kg/m 2 ), the main outcome
variables was determined by using World Health Organisation
(WHO, 2000) for Asian cut-off points. Multiple logistic regressions
was performed to determine the association between fast food
consumption and overweight as well as obesity status while
controlling other covariates and presenting adjusted odds ratio
(OR adj.) with 95% Confident Interval (CI) and p-value.
results: Of the total 749 respondents, 50.20% were female
with a mean age of 32.26±11.12 years. As high as 62.75%; 95%
CI: (59.28%-66.22%) consumed fast food during the past one
month. The prevalence of overweight and obesepopulation was
38.72% (95% CI: 35.22%-42.21%). Fast food consumption
was significantly associated with overweight and obesity (OR
adj.=2.00; 95% CI: 1.39-2.88; p<0.001). Other significant
covariates were; male gender (OR adj.=1.53; 95%CI: 1.06-
2.20; p=0.020, adults aged 31-59 years (OR adj.=3.02; 95%CI:
1.98-4.62; p<0.001, married (OR adj.=1.69; 95%CI: 1.12-
2.54; p=0.012, had family history of overweight and obesity
(OR adj.=1.50; 95%CI: 1.01-2.22; p=0.043, drank alcohol (OR
adj.=1.60; 95%CI: 1.10-2.31; p=0.013) and had hypertension
(OR adj.=2.14; 95%CI: 1.45-3.19; p<0.001).
conclusion: Fast food consumption and over-nutrition are
significant problem in Cambodia. Majority of adults aged 31-59
years are overweight as well as obese. So, identifying factors
influencing fast food consumption and over-nutrition as well
as developing evidence-based approaches to address these
problems will help in advancing prevention and management
of fast food consumption and will reduce over-nutrition in an
appropriate manner. |
