Sažetak
The aim of the study was to determine changes in body mass index (BMI) and in
the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Serbian adult population. Data for this study were obtained
from three National Health Interview Surveys, carried out as cross-sectional, nationally representative
surveys in 2000, 2006 and 2013. The values of p for trends of sociodemographic and health related behavioral
characteristics, of BMI distribution, and of overweight and obesity prevalence were determined
by univariate and multivariate linear and logistic regression analyses, with year of survey as a continuous
variable. The mean values of BMI and standard deviations in surveys were 26.09±3.92, 26.28±4.02 and
26.87±4.33 in men, and 25.91±5.25, 25.77±5.22 and 26.35±5.58 in women, respectively (trend p<0.001
both). The prevalence of obesity was 14.3%, 16.5% and 21.4% in men, and 20.0%, 19.7% and 23.3%
in women, respectively (trend p<0.001 both). The prevalence of overweight did not change significantly
during the observed period. In conclusion, the prevalence of obesity showed an increasing trend in both
men and women, demanding targeted public health interventions.
