Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the obesity levels of the individuals living in Van in terms of some variables.

Methods: A total of 1000 people participated in the survey, with 399 women and 601 men with a mean age of 35.89 ± 8.60. The results obtained from the study were analyzed with the SPSS 20.0 package program. In the analysis of the data, the t test and the One Way Anova test were applied to determine the difference between the groups.

Results: As a result of the analyzes, % 3.5 of the participants were weak, 60.1% were normal weight, 28.3% were overweight, % 6.5 were 1. degree obese,  % 1.3 II the grade is obese and % 0.3 is III. degree obese. The grade was determined to be obese. There was a statistically significant difference between the BMI values of the participants and regular sporting, gender and marital status (p <0.01). However, a significant difference was observed when body weight, gender and marital status were examined (p <0,01). On the other hand, there was no significant difference between body weight and regular sport (p> 0,05).

Conclusions: As a result, it was determined that % 28.3 of the participants were overweight and 8.1% obese. Regular sporting can have a positive effect on BMI.
