Our aim was to estimate the prevalence of overweight, obesity and increased waist circumference in the adult population of Croatia and investigate regional differences in six regions of Croatia. Using the data from the 2003 Croatian Adult Health Survey we estimated the overall prevalence of overweight, obesity and increased waist circumference for the entire population of Croatia at 38.11%, 20.34% and 43.52%, respectively. For men, this was 43.2%, 20.1% and 34.98% and for women 33.6%, 20.6% and 51.13%, respectively for the three indicators of increased body weight. We found conflicting evidence as to whether the Mediterranean part of the country, compared with the continental part, bears a lesser degree of cardiovascular risk. Planners should pay particular attention to the Northern region, where the burden of increased body weight was the highest.
我们的目标是估算克罗地亚成年人群中超重、肥胖及腰围增加的患病率，并调查克罗地亚六个地区的区域差异。利用2003年克罗地亚成人健康调查的数据，我们估算出克罗地亚全体人口中超重、肥胖及腰围增加的总体患病率分别为38.11%、20.34%和43.52%。就体重增加的这三项指标而言，男性的患病率分别为43.2%、20.1%和34.98%，女性分别为33.6%、20.6%和51.13%。关于该国地中海地区与大陆地区相比是否承担较低程度的心血管疾病风险，我们发现了相互矛盾的证据。规划者应特别关注北部地区，该地区体重增加的负担最为严重。
