超重和肥胖在全球青少年中呈流行趋势,是一场“公共卫生危机”。印度少女肥胖率上升的趋势鲜有文献记载。本研究的目的是使用三个参考标准[世界卫生组织(WHO)2007年;疾病控制中心(CDC)2000年和国际肥胖特别工作组(IOTF)2000年]比较和评估青春期早期女学生超重和肥胖的程度。
在印度西孟加拉邦卡拉格布尔市五所政府附属学校对1375名青春期早期女孩(10 - 14岁)进行了横断面研究。
本研究结果清楚地表明肥胖根源在于青春期早期。根据所使用的参考标准(WHO、CDC和IOTF),参与者超重(包括肥胖)的发生率分别为10.62%、7.64%和7.49%。年轻女孩的发病率和缓解率都更高。
鉴于超重和肥胖的有害影响,鼓励青春期早期女孩养成健康的饮食习惯并增加体育活动。
