The aim of this study was to investigate trends of body mass index (BMI) with age in westernizing Macau and to make comparisons with Australian data. A representative random sample (n = 1406, 18-93 years, 55% female) from Macau was recruited in 2012. The Australian sample was extracted from the Australian Health Survey 2011-2012 (n = 7958, 18 to ≥85 years, 52% female). BMI in Australians was greater than Macanese, mean difference 4.4 kg/m ( P < .001). While BMI increases steadily with ageing in each population, the plateau for Macau subjects appears 5 to 10 years earlier than Australians. Prevalence of overweight/obesity in young Macanese adults (18-40 years) was 25% (men) and 22% (women), with the greatest increase in BMI from age 25 to 39 years and 24 to 45 years in men and women, respectively. BMI shifts in younger Macanese men and women, which may reflect emerging lifestyle and nutrition transitions, are a future population health concern in Macau.
本研究旨在调查澳门（中国）人群体重指数（BMI）随年龄变化的趋势，并与澳大利亚数据进行比较。2012 年，从澳门抽取了一个具有代表性的随机样本（n=1406，年龄 18-93 岁，55%为女性）。澳大利亚的数据则从 2011-2012 年澳大利亚健康调查中提取（n=7958，年龄 18 岁至≥85 岁，52%为女性）。澳大利亚人的 BMI 大于澳门人，平均差值为 4.4kg/m²（P<0.001）。尽管两个群体的 BMI 都随着年龄的增长而稳步增加，但澳门人的 BMI 平台期比澳大利亚人早出现 5-10 年。年轻的澳门成年人（18-40 岁）超重/肥胖的患病率为 25%（男性）和 22%（女性），男性从 25 岁到 39 岁，女性从 24 岁到 45 岁，BMI 增加幅度最大。年轻的澳门男性和女性的 BMI 变化可能反映了新兴的生活方式和营养转变，这是澳门未来人口健康的关注点。
