The aim of the present study was to analyze the association of socioeconomic (SES) and
lifestyle factors, with the conditions of overweight (OW), general (OB) and abdominal obesity
(AO) in Spanish adults. A representative sample of 1655 Spanish adults (18 to 65 years)
from the ANIBES Study was investigated. Collected data included measured anthropometry
(weight, height and waist circumference), demographic and SES data (region and habitant
population size, educational level, family income, unemployment rate), physical activity (PA)
and other lifestyle factors (sleeping time and frequency of viewing television). OW, OB and
AO were determined in each participant. Being male, older than 40 years, and watching television
more frequently were associated with higher risk of OB and AO, whereas those with a
higher level of education, smokers, and more time in sleeping and in vigorous PA, but not in
moderate-vigorous PA, were associated with a lower risk. Living in the Atlantic region and
stating no answer to the question regarding family income were also associated with lower
risk of AO. Strategies for preventing and reducing OB and AO should consider improving
sleeping habits and PA. They should also pay more attention to the most vulnerable groups
such as those less educated.
