| Abstract |
The spatial distribution of a disease is important for the diagnosis and epidemiological understanding of the health situation and trends, enabling a better grasp of the factors that determine the health status of populations. The scope of the study was to analyze the spatial distribution of obesity in adults in Belo Horizonte. This cross-sectional study was developed by Telephone Survey from the database for 2008 to 2010 of the Surveillance of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases. Obesity was defined as body mass index 30 kg/m2. A georeferenced base with the environmental data of addresses and zip codes of the location was developed and spatial scan statistics were employed. A comparative analysis of environmental variables related to clusters of higher and lower prevalence of obesity was conducted. A cluster of obese individuals without statistical significance was found in the central area of the city. Also, a significant cluster of non-obese individuals was found in the eastern area of the city. These findings suggest that reasons for low prevalence of obesity in urban Brazilian areas could be related to better social organization and high availability of places for food stores and the practice of physical activity. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 September 2015.
All research outputs
#22,759,802
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#1,775
of 2,037 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#237,476
of 276,791 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#34
of 39 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,037 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 276,791 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 39 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
