AIMS
To establish the prevalence of child overweight and obesity in the USA using IOTF-recommended definitions.
METHODS
Original data from the NHANES surveys for 1999-2000 and 2003-2004 were analysed using the IOTF cut-offs and prevalence levels calculated using sample weightings provided.
RESULTS
In 1999-2000, overweight (including obesity) was affecting 29% of school-age children. By 2003-2004 this figure had risen above 35%. Obesity alone was affecting 10% of school children in the 1999-2000, and over 13% in 2003-2004.
CONCLUSION
The United States is experiencing levels of child overweight and obesity that are among the highest recorded in any country in the world.
目的
采用国际肥胖工作组（IOTF）推荐的定义确定美国儿童超重和肥胖的患病率。
方法
使用IOTF的临界值分析1999 - 2000年和2003 - 2004年美国国家健康和营养检查调查（NHANES）的原始数据，并利用提供的样本权重计算患病率水平。
结果
在1999 - 2000年，超重（包括肥胖）影响了29%的学龄儿童。到2003 - 2004年，这一数字已超过35%。仅肥胖在1999 - 2000年影响了10%的学龄儿童，在2003 - 2004年超过了13%。
结论
美国儿童超重和肥胖水平处于世界上有记录的任何国家中最高之列。
