Abstract

Objective: Obesity is the most important epidemic of the 21st century and its incidence is increasing steadily in Turkey. The aim of this study was to assess the current status and temporal change in the prevalence of obesity in Turkey with a systematic review and metaanalysis of epidemiological studies conducted in the last 15 years. Methods: Ovid Medline, the Web of Science Core Collection and the Turkish Academic Network and Information Center (ULAKBIM) databases, as well as the web pages of the Turkish Ministry of Health, the Turkish Statistical Institute, and cardiology, nephrology and endocrinology associations were searched for epidemiological studies conducted within Turkey the last 15 years. Research focusing on local data was excluded. Studies included in the analysis were assessed with a special bias score and categorized as having low or high risk of bias. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, obesity and prevalence of abdominal obesity were calculated as crude values. Meta-regression analysis was performed to assess heterogeneity and change over time. Results: The agreement between the two investigators on the selection and bias scoring of the studies was excellent (kappa=0.95), but the heterogeneity between the studies was high. BMI (10 studies, n=93.554) was calculated as 28.2 kg/m2for women and 26.5 kg/m2for men. The prevalence of obesity (12 trials, n=106.553) was 33.2% in females and 18.2% in males. In 6 studies (n=66.591) that included a measurement of waist circumference, the values were 89.72 cm in women and 93.57 cm in men. Especially in women, the prevalence of abdominal obesity (5 studies, n=62331) was greater than that of general obesity (50.8% in women vs 20.8% in men). Meta-regression analysis revealed that the variance of the obesity prevalence between the studies could partly be explained by the age differences, but there was no temporal change in the prevalence of obesity during the years the studies were conducted. Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity, especially abdominal obesity, is considerably high in Turkish women and increases with advancing age. This finding points out that nationwide action plans against obesity, especially for women, should be designed and implemented by health policy makers.

Özet

Amaç: Obezite, XXI. yüzyılın en önemli toplumsal salgını olup,Türk toplumunda insidansı yıldan yıla artmaktadır. Bu makalede,Türkiye’de obezite sıklığının güncel durumu ve yıllar içindeki değişimini değerlendirmek amacıyla, son 15 yıl içerisinde gerçekleştirilenepidemiyolojik çalışmaların sistematik derleme ve meta-analizi sunulmuştur.Yöntemler: Türkiye’de son 15 yılda yapılan epidemiyolojik çalışmalar; Ovid Medline, Web of Science Core Collection ve ULAKBİMveritabanlarında, Sağlık Bakanlığı, Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu, Kardiyoloji, Nefroloji ve Endokrinoloji Dernekleri’nin web sayfalarındatarandı. Sadece bir bölgeye yönelik çalışmalar çalışma dışı bırakıldı.Analize alınan araştırmalar, özel bir yanlılık (bias) skoru ile değerlendirilerek yanlılık riski yüksek ve düşük olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Vücutkitle indeksi, bel çevresi, obezite ve abdominal obezite prevalansıkaba (crude) değerler olarak hesaplandı. Meta-analizde rastgele etkiler modeli (random effects model) kullanıldı. Prevalans ve obezitedeğerlerindeki heterojeniteyi ve zamansal değişimi değerlendirmeküzere meta-regresyon analizi yapıldı.Bulgular: Makale seçiminde ve yanlılık skorlamasında iki araştırıcıarasındaki uyum mükemmel düzeyde bulundu (kappa=0.95). Çalışmalar arasındaki heterojenite yüksekti. Beden kitle indeksi (10 çalışma, n=93.554) kadınlarda 28.2 kg/m2 ve erkeklerde 26.5 kg/m2olarak hesaplandı. Obezite prevalansı (12 çalışma, n=106,553) kadınlarda %33.2, erkeklerde %18.2 idi. Bel çevresi ölçümü yapılmışaltı çalışmada (n=66.591), değerler kadınlarda 89.72 cm ve erkeklerde 93.57 cm bulundu. Abdominal obezite prevalansı (5 çalışma,n=62331) ise özellikle kadınlarda daha da yüksek oranda (%50.8’ekarşı %20.8) idi. Meta-regresyon analizinde yaşın çalışmalar arasında obezite prevalansındaki farklılıkları kısmen açıklayan bir faktörolduğu ama çalışmaların yapılma yıllarının obezite oranlarını değiştirmediği görüldü.Sonuç: Obezite ve özellikle abdominal obezite oranı Türk kadınlarında önemli derecede yüksek olup, özellikle kadınlara yönelik sağlık politalarının geliştirilmesi gerektiğine işaret etmektedir.
