El propósito de este trabajo fue comparar la prevalencia del nivel de actividad física, estado nutricio y obesidad abdominal en profesores universitarios de educación física de la Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa (UAS) México y la Universidad de Huelva (UHU) España. Fueron estudiados 52 docentes de amabas universidades, clasificando el nivel de actividad física mediante el cuestionario internacional de actividad física IPAQ versión corta, se tomaron medidas antropométricas (peso, talla y circunferencia umbilical) para determinar el índice de masa corporal y la obesidad abdominal. Resultando con combinación similar de nivel de actividad física alta y moderada, la prevalencia combinada de sobrepeso y obesidad fue considerablemente mayor en los profesores de la UAS (90.6%) que en profesores de la UHU (37.5%), de igual forma la obesidad abdominal (30.6% y 12.5% respectivamente), mostrando sujetos físicamente activos, pero por otro lado, en los profesores de genero masculino se observó alta prevalencia combinada de sobrepeso y obesidad incluso mayor al promedio de adultos mexicanos y españoles. Concluyendo que en estos sujetos es necesario tomar medidas, como poner en marcha programas de nutrición orientados a frenar el problema del sobrepeso y obesidad.
Abstract: The aim of this work was to compare the prevalence of physical activity level, nutrition state and abdominal obesity in physical education professors from the University Autonomus of Sinaloa (UAS) Mexico and Huelva University (UHU) Spain, 52 professors were studied, in order to classify the physical activity level the International Physical Activity Questionannaire (IPAQ) short version was applied. To determine the nutrition state and abdominal obesity, anthropometric measurements were taken (weight, stature and waist circumference). Resulting whith similar prevalence of high and moderate physical activity, the prevalence of combined overweight and obesity was considerly higher in UAS profesors (90.6%) than UHU professors (37.5%), the same way in the prevalence of abdominal obesity 30.6% to 12.5%. The findings of this study shows subjects physically active, but for other side this study shows in both university professors high prevalence of overweight and obesity even higher than their respective people average country. We can conclude that in these subjects efforts should be made to develop nutritions programs to help stem rates of overweight and obesity.
