Increases in obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes may be under way in Europe. We have reported the only data available from the 1990s for continuous monitoring of chronic disease risk factors in random samples of a general European population. In random surveys (1993-2003) of 6164 men and 6107 women in Geneva, overweight and obesity combined increased in both men and women; hypercholesterolemia prevalence also rose; diabetes treatment increased in men. Only population-based interventions can prevent the impending epidemic of obesity-related disorders.
欧洲可能正在出现肥胖、高胆固醇血症和糖尿病增加的情况。我们已经报告了20世纪90年代唯一可得的数据,这些数据来自对欧洲普通人群随机样本中慢性病风险因素的持续监测。在对日内瓦6164名男性和6107名女性进行的随机调查(1993 - 2003年)中,男性和女性的超重与肥胖合并发生率均有所上升;高胆固醇血症患病率也有所上升;男性的糖尿病治疗率增加。只有基于人群的干预措施才能预防即将到来的肥胖相关疾病的流行。
