ABSTRACT

Health education has focused on the patient as an apprentice, therefore learning styles are a subject of interest since educational strategies may be adapted to people. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze whether learning styles are predictive factors of anthropometric indicators of obesity among a sample of adults who attend external consultation at healthcare centers. A total of 82 adults (mean age = 41.3 years, SD = 14.2) participated; 72% women. Learning styles were assessed with the Honey-Alonso Learning Styles Questionnaire and for obesity indicators: body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Learning styles did not show predictive value over BMI nor WC but they did in BW (R2 = 0.69, adjusted R2 = 0.66, p = 0.0001) based on variables such as age (standardized β = -0.21, p = 0.001), WC (standardized β = 0.87, p = 0.000) and reflective style (standardized β = 0.82, p = 0.03). It is concluded that learning styles were not predictors of WC neither BMI, but reflective style was predictor of BW.
