The study aimed to assess the prevalence of obesity and the related behavioral risk factors among children in Beijing.
Data were collected as part of a 2004 comprehensive study on obesity and metabolic syndrome among 21 198 children, aged 2-18 years old in Beijing. Four local and international references for the classification of childhood overweight and obesity were compared.
The combined prevalence of obesity and overweight among children, aged 2-18 years old, was 18.7%, 21.4%, and 20.1% based on the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) reference, new World Health Organization (WHO) growth standard, and the US 2000 Center for Disease Control and Prevention Growth Charts, respectively; and it was 21.7%, according to the local Chinese body mass index (BMI) reference for school-age children (aged 7-18 years). Physical inactivity, less sleep duration, higher consumption of alcohol, snack food and Western fast food and more screen time were associated with overweight and obesity (p<0.05).
Over 20% of children and adolescents in Beijing are overweight or obese. Effort should be made to combat the growing obesity epidemic.
本研究旨在评估北京儿童肥胖症的患病率及相关行为风险因素。
数据收集于2004年一项针对北京21198名2至18岁儿童的肥胖与代谢综合征综合研究。比较了四个国内外儿童超重和肥胖分类参考标准。
根据国际肥胖特别工作组（IOTF）参考标准、世界卫生组织（WHO）新生长标准以及美国疾病控制与预防中心2000年生长图表，2至18岁儿童肥胖与超重的合并患病率分别为18.7%、21.4%和20.1%；根据中国学龄儿童（7至18岁）当地体重指数（BMI）参考标准，该患病率为21.7%。身体活动不足、睡眠时间较短、酒精、零食和西式快餐摄入量较高以及屏幕使用时间较长与超重和肥胖相关（p<0.05）。
北京超过20%的儿童和青少年超重或肥胖。应努力应对日益严重的肥胖流行问题。
