Some reports indicate that the obesity epidemic may be slowing down or halting. We followed body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in a large adult population in Norway ( = 90 000) from 1984-1986 (HUNT1) through 1995-1997 (HUNT2) to 2006-2008 (HUNT3) to study whether this is occurring in Norway. Height and weight were measured with standardized and identical methods in all three surveys; WC was also measured in HUNT2 and HUNT3. In the three surveys, mean BMI increased from 25.3 to 26.5 and 27.5 kg m in men and from 25.1 to 26.2 and 26.9 kg m in women. Increase in prevalence of obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg m) was greater in men (from 7.7 to 14.4 and 22.1%) compared with women (from 13.3 to 18.3 and 23.1%). In contrast, women had a greater increase in abdominal obesity (WC ≥ 102 cm for men and WC ≥ 88 cm for women). There was a continuous shift in the distribution curve of BMI and WC to the right, demonstrating that the increase in body weight was occurring in all weight groups, but the increase of obesity was greatest in the youngest age groups. Our data showed no signs of a halt in the increase of obesity in this representative Norwegian population.
一些报告表明，肥胖流行趋势可能正在放缓或停止。我们追踪了挪威一个大型成年人群（n = 90000）从1984 - 1986年（HUNT1）到1995 - 1997年（HUNT2）再到2006 - 2008年（HUNT3）的体重指数（BMI）和腰围（WC），以研究挪威是否出现这种情况。在所有三次调查中，身高和体重均采用标准化且相同的方法测量；腰围也在HUNT2和HUNT3中进行了测量。在这三次调查中，男性的平均BMI从25.3增加到26.5，再到27.5kg/m²，女性从25.1增加到26.2，再到26.9kg/m²。肥胖（BMI≥30kg/m²）患病率的增加在男性中（从7.7%增至14.4%，再到22.1%）大于女性（从13.3%增至18.3%，再到23.1%）。相比之下，女性腹部肥胖（男性WC≥102cm，女性WC≥88cm）的增加幅度更大。BMI和WC的分布曲线持续向右移动，表明所有体重组的体重都在增加，但肥胖增加在最年轻年龄组中最为显著。我们的数据显示，在这个具有代表性的挪威人群中，肥胖增加没有停止的迹象。
