Women in Brazil are not as slim as their internationally famed models may suggest and up to one-third of men drink too much, a survey showed on Wednesday.
More than 44 percent of women are overweight in Rio de Janeiro, where scantily clad females parade during Carnival and on beaches, a national survey by the health ministry showed. Women in Sao Paulo, the capital of a fashion industry that gave rise to big-name models like Giselle Bundchen, are also more heavy-set than elsewhere in Latin America's largest country. Almost 43 percent of women in Sao Paulo are overweight, the third-highest rate among 27 state capitals surveyed.
Brazilian health officials say that the rate still falls short of levels in the United States but that they are concerned. "It is higher than we would like," said Deborah Malta, one of the survey's coordinators. Researchers blamed traditional eating habits as well as a lack of exercise. Many of Brazil's foods, such as the typical bean and meat stew called feijoada, are rich in fats. Average consumption of fruit and vegetables was "far below" the minimum daily recommendation of 400 grams (14 ounces), the survey said.
Brazilian men fare much worse in the poll. Between 45 percent and 52 percent of men in major cities are overweight and as many as one-third drink alcohol excessively, the study found. The heaviest male drinkers are in the northeastern city of Salvador, where 33 percent consume more than five alcoholic beverages per day. In Rio de Janeiro, one in four men regularly drinks too much. The survey, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percent, polled more than 54,000 people by telephone from August to December of 2006.

巴西卫生部于3月14日公布的一项调查结果显示，巴西超过三分之一的女性体型偏胖，而巴西男性则存在饮酒过量的问题。
据路透社3月15日报道，调查显示，里约热内卢有超过44％的女性体重超标。即便是时装业中心的巴西圣保罗也有43％的女性体重超标。巴西卫生部表示，尽管该国女性的肥胖比率比美国要低，但“实际情况已经超出了我们的预期”。
研究人员将巴西女性普遍较胖的原因归咎于她们不良的饮食习惯以及缺少运动。巴西人日常生活中所吃的很多食物均富含脂肪。该项调查结果显示，该国女性每天人均摄入的水果和蔬菜量远低于每日400克的最低推荐标准。
而巴西男性在本次调查中的表现则要显得更为糟糕一些。在该国主要城市里，45％到52％的男性身体超重，而有多达三分之一的男人则总是习惯于过量饮酒。最能喝酒的人非该国东北部城市萨尔瓦多的男性莫属，那里33％的男人每天会消耗掉5杯以上的含酒精饮料。而在里约热内卢男性中，饮酒过量者所占的比重也达到了四分之一。
