High prevalence of overweight (45%) and obesity (30%) were recorded in French Hajj pilgrims originating from North Africa. Females were significantly more likely to suffer from obesity compared to males. The overall prevalence of obesity among French pilgrims born in North-Africa was twice that of the overall French population. The prevalence of obesity in pilgrims aged 55-64 years and 65 years and over were respectively 38 and 25% compared to 20 and 18% in the corresponding overall French population age classes. The prevalence of diabetes in French pilgrims was five times higher compared to that of the overall French population. This situation prompts us to organize in the next future, pre-Hajj education seminars for diabetics.
法国的北非裔朝觐者中，超重（45%）和肥胖（30%）的发病率很高。与男性相比，女性肥胖的比例明显更高。在法国出生的北非裔朝觐者中，肥胖的总体发病率是法国总人口的两倍。55-64 岁和 65 岁及以上年龄组的肥胖发病率分别为 38%和 25%，而法国相应年龄组的总体肥胖发病率为 20%和 18%。法国朝圣者中的糖尿病发病率比法国总人口高 5 倍。这种情况促使我们在不久的将来，为糖尿病患者组织朝觐前教育研讨会。
