Studies have shown that cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity, blood lipid levels, start early in childhood and some are on the rise in children. Data on trends are important in order to identify if there is a problem. This study, part of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study, determined and compared the prevalence of overweight and its associated risk factors in 2555, 1 329 and 1158 Tehran children and adolescents in 2000, 2003 and 2006 respectively. The participants were categorized into age groups 3-6, 7-12 and 13-17 years. Body mass index measurements were taken and blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides measured. Overall the prevalence of obesity in Tehran children and adolescents increased significantly from 2000 to 2006 while blood pressure and serum lipid concentrations decreased. The causes for the decreased blood pressure and serum lipid concentrations should be evaluated. The increased prevalence of obesity in Tehran children and adolescents is of concern and requires monitoring.
研究表明，心血管危险因素，如肥胖、血脂水平，早在儿童期就开始出现，并且一些危险因素在儿童中呈上升趋势。了解趋势的数据对于确定是否存在问题非常重要。本研究是德黑兰血脂和血糖研究的一部分，旨在确定并比较 2000 年、2003 年和 2006 年分别在 2555、1329 和 1158 名德黑兰儿童和青少年中超重及其相关危险因素的流行率。参与者被分为 3-6 岁、7-12 岁和 13-17 岁年龄组。测量体重指数，并测量血压、空腹血糖、胆固醇和甘油三酯。总体而言，德黑兰儿童和青少年肥胖的患病率从 2000 年到 2006 年显著上升，而血压和血清脂质浓度下降。应评估血压和血清脂质浓度下降的原因。德黑兰儿童和青少年肥胖的流行率增加令人担忧，需要监测。
