To document the prevalence of obesity in Saudi Arabia, we used data from a cross-sectional study on 19,598 individuals in 2837 households. Body mass index, skinfold thickness and mid-arm circumference were measured. Prevalence of obesity ranged from 33.9% in Ha'il to 11.7% in Jizan. More women than men were obese, 23.6% compared to 14.2%. Prevalence of overweight was 30.7% for males and 28.4% for females. Obesity was present in all age groups. It is clear that changes must be made to the lifestyle of the Saudi population in order to reduce the prevalence of obesity.
为记录沙特阿拉伯的肥胖患病率，我们使用了一项针对2837户家庭中19598人的横断面研究数据。测量了体重指数、皮褶厚度和上臂围。肥胖患病率从哈伊勒的33.9%到吉赞的11.7%不等。肥胖女性多于男性，分别为23.6%和14.2%。男性超重患病率为30.7%，女性为28.4%。所有年龄组均存在肥胖现象。显然，必须改变沙特人口的生活方式以降低肥胖患病率。
