To assess overweight and obesity trends in the Portuguese population.
National Health Surveys, conducted in 1995-6 (17,989 men; 20,249 women) and 1998-9 (17,923 men; 20,302 women), were used.
In men, the prevalence of overweight and obesity increased from 39.9% (95% CI: 39.2 to 40.6) and 10.3% (95% CI: 9.9 to 10.7), respectively, in 1995-6, to 42.5% (95% CI: 41.8 to 43.2) and 11.5% (95% CI: 11.0 to 12.0), respectively, in 1998-9. In women, prevalence of obesity increased from 12.7% (95% CI: 12.2 to 13.2) in 1995-6 to 14.2% (95% CI: 13.7 to 14.6) in 1998-9, whereas the prevalence of overweight remained stable: 32.2% (95% CI: 31.6 to 32.9) in 1995-6 and 32.3% (95% CI: 31.6 to 32.9) in 1998-9. In men, prevalence of overweight and obesity were higher among former smokers and educational group of 6 to 12 years, and prevalence of obesity was higher in the Lisbon region. In women, prevalence of overweight and obesity were higher among never smokers, and prevalence of obesity was higher among educational group of -6 years. Prevalence of obesity was higher in the Alentejo region, and overweight was higher in the Center region. Finally, prevalence of obesity increased in both sexes for all strata studied (age, smoking status, educational level, and geographic region), whereas prevalence of overweight increased only in men.
In Portugal, overweight and obesity levels are related to sociodemographic factors; the increase in obesity levels stresses the need for preventive measures.
评估葡萄牙人群中超重和肥胖的趋势。
采用了1995 - 1996年（17989名男性；20249名女性）和1998 - 1999年（17923名男性；20302名女性）进行的全国健康调查。
在男性中，超重和肥胖的患病率分别从1995 - 1996年的39.9%（95%置信区间：39.2至40.6）和10.3%（95%置信区间：9.9至10.7），上升至1998 - 1999年的42.5%（95%置信区间：41.8至43.2）和11.5%（95%置信区间：11.0至12.0）。在女性中，肥胖患病率从1995 - 1996年的12.7%（95%置信区间：12.2至13.2）上升至1998 - 1999年的14.2%（95%置信区间：13.7至14.6），而超重患病率保持稳定：1995 - 1996年为32.2%（95%置信区间：31.6至32.9），1998 - 1999年为32.3%（95%置信区间：31.6至32.9）。在男性中，超重和肥胖患病率在前吸烟者以及受教育6至12年的人群中较高，肥胖患病率在里斯本地区较高。在女性中，超重和肥胖患病率在从不吸烟者中较高，肥胖患病率在受教育年限小于6年的人群中较高。肥胖患病率在阿连特茹地区较高，超重患病率在中部地区较高。最后，在所研究的所有阶层（年龄、吸烟状况、教育水平和地理区域）中，男女肥胖患病率均有所上升，而超重患病率仅在男性中上升。
在葡萄牙，超重和肥胖水平与社会人口学因素有关；肥胖水平的上升凸显了采取预防措施的必要性。
