ABSTRACT
Objective. To document the perception of body weight, the
variables that are associated with a correct perception of it
and with the perception about the probability of developing
obesity at short-term in Mexican adult population.
Materials
and methods. We used data from the Perception of
obsesity, eating behavior and physical activity questionnaire
(POCAA, by its Spanish acronym), as well as household and
anthropometric measurements obtained at Ensanut MC during
May and October of 2016.
Results. More than 90% of
the population tend to underestimate their weight; 32% of
the population said that they would be very likely to develop
obesity at short-term; more than 90% considered that suffering
from obesity is very serious. Having a correct perception
of body weight and being overweight or obese by BMI, were
positively related to the perception of developing obesity at
short-term.
Conclusion. It is very relevant that individuals,
regardless of the state of their weight, have an accurate perception
of their body and the consequences to their health.
