Overweight and obesity and their associated secondary diseases are of high public health relevance.
Self-reported body weight and body height data are available in the study German Health Update (GEDA 2019/2020-EHIS). The body mass index (BMI, kg/m) was calculated and overweight (including obesity, BMI ≥25 kg/m) and obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m) were derived.
According to this self-report, 53.5% of adults in Germany are overweight, men more often than women. The obesity prevalence for both sexes is 19.0%. The prevalence of overweight and obesity increases with age in both women and men. Obesity is significantly more prevalent in low education groups compared to high education groups. Compared to GEDA 2012, the prevalence of overweight is unchanged, but the obesity prevalence has continued to increase, particularly among 45- to 64-year-olds.
The prevention potential of avoiding overweight and obesity remains high.
超重和肥胖及其相关的继发性疾病具有高度的公共卫生相关性。
研究《德国健康更新（2019/2020 - 欧洲健康访谈调查）》（German Health Update, GEDA 2019/2020 - EHIS）中提供了自我报告的体重和身高数据。计算体重指数（BMI，kg/m²），并得出超重（包括肥胖，BMI≥25 kg/m²）和肥胖（BMI≥30 kg/m²）情况。
根据这份自我报告，德国53.5%的成年人超重，男性比女性更常见。两性的肥胖患病率为19.0%。超重和肥胖的患病率在男性和女性中均随年龄增长而增加。与高教育程度组相比，低教育程度组的肥胖患病率显著更高。与2012年的《德国健康更新》相比，超重患病率没有变化，但肥胖患病率持续上升，尤其是在45至64岁人群中。
避免超重和肥胖的预防潜力仍然很大。
