The prevalence of obesity is increasing in most countries. So far, measured data on the development in BMI of Danish adults have largely been unavailable. The purpose of the present study was therefore to describe the 10-year trends between 1982-1992 in prevalences of over weight and obesity, measured by BMI, in 30-60 year-old men and women. The study was part of the Danish MONICA project and included 1940 men and 1844 women in 1982, and 808 men and 816 women in 1992. The data showed an increase in the prevalence of obesity (BMI > 30) from 10-13% in men, and from 9-11% in women (both p = 0.03). Increases in the prevalence of obesity were particularly pronounced among younger men and women, and among those with less than seven years of school education. The study demonstrates that trends for obesity in Denmark are comparable to trends in most other Western countries, and, furthermore, that the trend towards an increase in obesity is most pronounced among the socially disadvantaged.
大多数国家肥胖症的患病率都在上升。到目前为止，丹麦成年人BMI变化的测量数据基本上无法获取。因此，本研究的目的是描述1982年至1992年期间，30至60岁男性和女性中，以BMI衡量的超重和肥胖患病率的10年趋势。该研究是丹麦MONICA项目的一部分，1982年纳入了1940名男性和1844名女性，1992年纳入了808名男性和816名女性。数据显示，肥胖症（BMI>30）的患病率在男性中从10%升至13%，在女性中从9%升至11%（p值均为0.03）。肥胖患病率的增加在年轻男性和女性以及受教育年限少于7年的人群中尤为明显。该研究表明，丹麦的肥胖趋势与大多数其他西方国家的趋势相当，此外，肥胖增加的趋势在社会弱势群体中最为明显。
