The aim of this study was to assess changes in prevalence of overweight and obesity among children born in 1996 and 1990 in Vilnius city. The results were based on comparison of two longitudinal data sets (N = 624 and N = 389) collected from the personal health records of children born in 1996 and 1990 respectively. No statistically significant differences in final height and BMI were established between children born in 1990 and 1996; however, both boys and girls born in 1996 appeared to be higher and heavier at different ages compared to their peers born in 1990. After controlling for tempo, the differences in height between the two cohorts have become insignificant for girls, with exceptions at the age of 3 and 10 years; for boys, the differences between the cohorts have remained significant, however at a slightly lower level. More children born in 1996 tended to be overweight and obese. In six years, the prevalence of overweight in Vilnius children has more than doubled; the prevalence of obesity has increased up to five times in some age groups.
本研究旨在评估维尔纽斯市1996年和1990年出生儿童超重和肥胖患病率的变化。研究结果基于分别从1996年和1990年出生儿童的个人健康记录中收集的两个纵向数据集（N = 624和N = 389）的比较。1990年和1996年出生的儿童在最终身高和体重指数方面未发现统计学上的显著差异；然而，与1990年出生的同龄人相比，1996年出生的男孩和女孩在不同年龄段似乎更高、更重。在控制生长速度后，两个队列中女孩的身高差异在3岁和10岁时除外，变得不显著；对于男孩，队列之间的差异仍然显著，但程度略低。1996年出生的儿童中超重和肥胖的比例更高。六年来，维尔纽斯儿童超重患病率增加了一倍多；在某些年龄组，肥胖患病率增加了五倍。
