We included 487 workers of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social in Colima, Mexico. We carried out a clinical measurement of weight and height. The indicator of @entity2973 and @entity28 was obtained from the body mass index, that is, a @entity1 's weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. The used criteria were similar to the ones established by the WHO: well-nourished (BMI from 18.5 to 24.9), @entity2973 (BMI from 25.0 to 29.9), and @entity28 (BMI = 30). The obtained data were captured in a computer terminal and processed by means of an automated model. We calculated the frequencies distribution and the prevalence. RESULTS: Of the 487 @entity1 , 121 (25%) had an appropriate weight, 210 (43%) showed @entity2973 , and 156 (32%) had @entity28 . CONCLUSIONS: The @entity2973 and @entity28 prevalence among the @entity1 health service workers was of 75%.
