PARDO MERINO, Antonio et al. Adaptation to the Mexican population of the "Questionnaire of habits related to overweight and obesity". Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.4, pp.854-863. Epub 18-Nov-2019. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.1693.
Introduction:
the "Questionnaire of habits related to overweight and obesity" was created and validated in Spanish population, and it allows to describe and quantify five dimensions related to overweight and obesity: diet caloric content, eating for psychological well-being, physical exercise, healthy eating, and alcohol consumption.
Objective:
to adapt the questionnaire in Mexican population, assess their psychometric properties, and compare them with those of the Spanish version.
Method:
the original questionnaire was administered to a sample of 493 Mexican patients with overweight or obesity, and different statistical tools have been applied (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis) to know the psychometric properties of the Mexican version and its degree of similarity to the original version.
Results:
the questionnaire adapted to the Mexican population exhibits the same dimensions as those obtained in the Spanish population (caloric content of the diet, eating for psychological well-being, physical exercise, alcohol consumption and healthy eating), and their psychometric properties are very similar to those obtained for the original questionnaire.
Conclusion:
as a consequence of the adaptation process, a questionnaire with good psychometric properties suitable to measure the lifestyle habits related to overweight and obesity is now available.
