The aim of this study was to examine the association of weight gain and life expectancy at birth in Croatia. Mean body mass index was based on the data from the Croatian Adult Health Survey 2003. Birth rate and mortality data needed for life expectancy calculation were supplied by the Central Bureau of Statistics. The results suggest that the increase in mean body mass index value (1.31 kg m(-2) for women and 1.41 kg m(-2) for men) will shorten life expectancy at birth for one year. Obesity, if unchecked, might have a negative effect on life expectancy in Croatia. Despite widespread knowledge about how to reduce the severity of the problem, observed trends in obesity in Croatia continue to worsen. These trends threaten to diminish the health and life expectancy of current and future generations.
本研究的目的是调查克罗地亚出生时体重增加与预期寿命之间的关联。平均体重指数基于2003年克罗地亚成人健康调查的数据。预期寿命计算所需的出生率和死亡率数据由中央统计局提供。结果表明，平均体重指数值的增加（女性为1.31千克/平方米，男性为1.41千克/平方米）将使出生时的预期寿命缩短一年。肥胖若不加以控制，可能会对克罗地亚的预期寿命产生负面影响。尽管人们普遍了解如何减轻该问题的严重程度，但克罗地亚观察到的肥胖趋势仍在继续恶化。这些趋势可能会降低当代人和后代人的健康水平和预期寿命。
