The present umbrella systematic reviews and meta-analyses aim to determine the comprehensive prevalence of obesity and overweight across different age subgroups in Iran.
We conducted a comprehensive search across many databases, including Science Direct, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar, to retrieve papers published until November 2023. The meta-analyses included in this study examined the prevalence of obesity and overweight in Iran. The current umbrella meta-analysis finally contained 24 meta-analyses. We evaluated the scientific reliability of the studies using the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR2).
The overall prevalence of overweight and obesity among the Iranian population was 18.38% (95% CI: 10.267, 26.496) and 10.91% (95% CI: 9.654, 12.177), respectively. The overall obesity prevalence in males was 9.93 (95%CI: 8.483, 11.388), and in females was 9.67% (95%CI: 8.317, 11.033). The prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents was 12.43% (95% CI: 10.184, 14.683) and 6.51% (95% CI: 5.866, 7.157), and in adults, it was 27.39% (95% CI: 14.878, 39.914) and 17.20% (95% CI: 13.483, 20.919), respectively. Male children and adolescents had a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity than females, but adult males had a lower prevalence than females.
This study presents the trend of obesity and overweight among the Iranian population. Since the trend of increasing overweight and obesity is alarming, policymakers and healthcare providers at the national and regional levels should design and implement preventive programs and interventions.
本综合性系统评价和荟萃分析旨在确定伊朗不同年龄亚组中肥胖和超重的综合患病率。
我们在包括科学Direct、科学网、Scopus、PubMed和谷歌学术在内的多个数据库中进行了全面检索，以获取截至2023年11月发表的论文。本研究纳入的荟萃分析考察了伊朗肥胖和超重的患病率。当前的综合性荟萃分析最终包含24项荟萃分析。我们使用多重系统评价评估（AMSTAR2）来评估研究的科学可靠性。
伊朗人群中超重和肥胖的总体患病率分别为18.38%（95%置信区间：10.267，26.496）和10.91%（95%置信区间：9.654，12.177）。男性的总体肥胖患病率为9.93（95%置信区间：8.483，11.388），女性为9.67%（95%置信区间：8.317，11.033）。儿童和青少年中超重和肥胖的患病率分别为12.43%（95%置信区间：10.184，14.683）和6.51%（95%置信区间：5.866，7.157），成年人中分别为27.39%（95%置信区间：14.878，39.914）和17.20%（95%置信区间：13.483，20.919）。男性儿童和青少年中超重和肥胖的患病率高于女性，但成年男性的患病率低于女性。
本研究呈现了伊朗人群中肥胖和超重的趋势。由于超重和肥胖的上升趋势令人担忧，国家和地区层面的政策制定者和医疗服务提供者应设计并实施预防计划和干预措施。
