Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Mississippi children and youth in grades K-12, and to assess any changes in the prevalence during 2005, 2007, and 2009. Body Mass Index was calculated using measured height and weight data for 3,703 public school students, and the prevalence of overweight and obesity was estimated. Additional analysis compared prevalence estimates by gender, race, and grade for the 2009 data, and comparisons were made between the 2005, 2007, and 2009 data. In 2009, the prevalence of obesity for all students in grades K-12 was 23.9%, as compared to 23.5% in 2007 and 25.5% in 2005. However, no statistically significant differences were found over the three time periods. The disparity between races appears to be increasing over time with the prevalence remaining level for Nonwhite students while dropping each year for White students.

摘要

本研究的目的是确定密西西比州K-12年级儿童和青少年超重与肥胖的患病率，并评估2005年、2007年和2009年期间患病率的任何变化。利用3703名公立学校学生测量的身高和体重数据计算体重指数，并估算超重与肥胖的患病率。进一步分析比较了2009年数据按性别、种族和年级划分的患病率估算值，并对2005年、2007年和2009年的数据进行了比较。2009年，K-12年级所有学生的肥胖患病率为23.9%，2007年为23.5%，2005年为25.5%。然而，在这三个时间段内未发现统计学上的显著差异。随着时间的推移，种族之间的差距似乎在扩大，非白人学生的患病率保持稳定，而白人学生的患病率逐年下降。
