We analysed data on overweight and stunting from large national surveys performed between 2001 and 2004 in 5 Arab countries (Djibouti, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Morocco, Syrian Arab Republic and Yemen). Overweight and stunting were defined according to new WHO growth standards. Overweight ranged from 8.9% in Yemen to 20.2% in Syrian Arab Republic. The risk ratio (RR) for overweight in stunted children ranged from 2.14 in Djibouti to 3.85 in Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. RR ranged from 0.76 in mildly stunted children of Yemen to 7.15 in severely stunted children in Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. Etiological fraction in the population ranged from 7.49% to 69.76%.
我们分析了2001年至2004年间在5个阿拉伯国家（吉布提、阿拉伯利比亚民众国、摩洛哥、阿拉伯叙利亚共和国和也门）开展的大型全国性调查中有关超重和发育迟缓的数据。超重和发育迟缓是根据世界卫生组织新的生长标准定义的。超重比例从也门的8.9%到阿拉伯叙利亚共和国的20.2%不等。发育迟缓儿童超重的风险比（RR）从吉布提的2.14到阿拉伯利比亚民众国的3.85不等。RR范围从也门轻度发育迟缓儿童的0.76到阿拉伯利比亚民众国重度发育迟缓儿童的7.15。人群中的病因分数范围从7.49%到69.76%。
