The present dissertation addresses the trend of overweight and obesity in Brazil and its relationship with educational level between 2002 and 2013. Three national databases were used: Household Budget Surveys (Pesquisas de Orçamento Familiar) 2002/2003, 2008/2009 and National Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde) 2013, with a total of 240,051 adults aged 20-59 years, excluding pregnant women. This dissertation was structured in five sections: Review of the literature, material and methods, justification, objectives and results, that is presented as a manuscript: Trends in obesity prevalence among Brazilian adults according to educational level, 2002- 2013. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was estimated by sex, age and educational level. Age was categorized into two groups (20 to 39 years and 40 to 59 years) and education in four: pre-primary, primary, secondary and tertiary, following the International Standard Classification of Education. Logistic regression models were developed to evaluate the prevalence trend of obesity and overweight according to educational level, adjusted for sex and age. Sample weights and study design were taken into account. The prevalence of obesity increased from 7.5% to 17.0% between 2002 and 2013 in adults aged 20-39 years and from 14.7% to 25.7% in those aged 40-59 years. In all surveys, education was positively associated with the prevalence of obesity in men, although this association was negative in women. The highest prevalence of obesity was 35.3% in women at secondary level (complete secondary school and incomplete tertiary school) they presented the greatest increase in the prevalence of obesity between 2008 and 2013 (24.4% for 35,3%). For both sexes, the chance of becoming obese has doubled from 2002 to 2013, and for the women aged 20-39 the chance was two and a half times. Thus, it was observed that differences in educational level and sex impact on the prevalence of obesity in Brazil. Thus, public policies for fighting with obesity should take into account the sociodemographic characteristics of the population.
