Depending on the references used (China and WHO, respectively), the overall prevalence of overweight, including obesity of the subjects was 36.1% and 25.5%, the prevalence of obesity was 5.3%, and 1.5%, respectively, the prevalence of overweight, including obesity among the male subjects was 46% and 32.5%, respectively, the prevalence of overweight, including obesity among the female subjects was 21% and 14.1%, respectively, An interesting observation made was that the overall prevalence of overweight was increased with age.

超重和肥胖在全球范围内呈流行趋势。我们目前的研究旨在使用两个参考标准[中国肥胖问题工作组参考标准(2004年)和世界卫生组织(WHO)2000年标准]来调查某大学教职工中超重和肥胖的患病率。
本研究的目的是估计中国大学教职工中超重和肥胖的患病率。
设计一项横断面研究,收集某大学教职工2004年至2010年(2004年、2006年、2008年和2010年)的常规健康筛查数据;研究对象年龄在22 - 94岁之间。
根据所使用的参考标准(分别为中国标准和WHO标准),研究对象中超重(包括肥胖)的总体患病率分别为36.1%和25.5%,肥胖患病率分别为5.3%和1.5%,男性研究对象中超重(包括肥胖)的患病率分别为46%和32.5%,女性研究对象中超重(包括肥胖)的患病率分别为21%和14.1%。一个有趣的发现是超重的总体患病率随年龄增加而上升。
鉴于超重和肥胖的危害,建议减少大学教职工宽松的饮食环境并增加体育活动,尤其是男性教职工。
