AIMS
The overweight and obesity epidemic among children in Australia has attracted considerable attention as intervention strategies and public policy are debated. However, more information on the overweight prevalence trend is required to help understand its aetiology. In order to assist this public health crisis, we gathered every available raw dataset and other descriptive reports on the heights and weights of children over the last century.
METHODS
The raw datasets and datasets recreated using reported descriptive data were used to calculate the prevalence rates of overweight children aged 5 to 15 years.
RESULTS
Overweight prevalence among children was relatively low and relatively constant throughout most of the century but appears to have accelerated from about the early 1970s.
DISCUSSION
The prevalence rate for overweight and obesity among children in Australia continues to climb and we predict it will approach adult rates within the next 30 years.
目的
随着干预策略和公共政策的讨论，澳大利亚儿童超重和肥胖问题已引起广泛关注。然而，需要更多关于超重患病率趋势的信息来帮助理解其病因。为应对这一公共卫生危机，我们收集了上世纪所有可用的原始数据集以及关于儿童身高和体重的其他描述性报告。
方法
使用原始数据集以及根据报告的描述性数据重新创建的数据集来计算5至15岁超重儿童的患病率。
结果
在本世纪的大部分时间里，儿童超重患病率相对较低且较为稳定，但自20世纪70年代初左右似乎开始加速上升。
讨论
澳大利亚儿童超重和肥胖的患病率持续攀升，我们预计在未来30年内将接近成人水平。
