| Sumario: | Abstract. Objective. To analyze the association of total globalization
and its different dimensions with overweight and obesity in
10 Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries between
1995 and 2013. Materials and methods. A sample of
848 405 women aged 20-49 was analyzed. Multiple logistic
regression models were used, adjusting for individual- and
country-level confounding factors. To evaluate nonlinearities,
four levels were defined through quartiles and divided
into four dummy variables. Results. Total globalization had
a positive association with overweight and obesity. Three
dimensions of globalization (economic, political and social)
indicated an increase in overweight and obesity. Social globalization
presented polynomial behaviour, whereas, in political
and economic globalization, a concave relation was observed.
Conclusion. The economic, political and social dimensions
had a positive association with overweight and obesity. |
