Trends in body mass index (BMI) among 51,889 14- to 20-year-old Icelandic adolescents and young adults were examined using data from cross-sectional population surveys conducted from 1992 to 2007. Prevalence of overweight increased for both genders in all age groups, except for 14- and 20-year-old girls. Obesity prevalence increased among boys in all age groups, except for 16-year-olds, and among 15- and 20-year-old girls. The largest increase in obesity rates among both genders was found in the oldest age group. Moreover, not only has the prevalence of obesity increased, but also the extent of obesity has grown more severe among 15- and 17-year-olds boys and among girls in the oldest age group.
对 51889 名 14 至 20 岁冰岛青少年和年轻人的体重指数（BMI）趋势进行了研究，这些数据来自于 1992 年至 2007 年进行的横断面人群调查。除了 14 岁和 20 岁的女孩，所有年龄段的男女超重患病率都有所增加。除了 16 岁的男孩外，所有年龄段的男孩肥胖患病率都有所增加，15 岁和 20 岁的女孩也是如此。在所有性别中，肥胖率的最大增幅出现在年龄最大的组别中。此外，肥胖的患病率不仅增加了，15 岁和 17 岁的男孩以及年龄最大组别的女孩的肥胖程度也变得更严重了。
