Abstract

Multiple linear regression is one of the most important statistical techniques used in nutrition epidemiology to analyze the predictive effect of exposure variables on a response variable, which should be quantitative. Variables identified with the potential to be modifiable can in turn be used in preventive programs. The objective of this research was to analyze the association between behavioral variables related to cardiovascular health with anthropometric indicators of obesity in freshman university students enrolled at the Technological Institute of Sonora. The response variable was body fat, and the predictor variables were food and nutrient groups and physical activity, according to the criteria of the American Heart Association. Potential association analyses were used, and multiple models were built by stepwise forward selection (p≤0.05 and biological plausibility) with data from 230 university adolescents using the Stata software.
