In this study the most important Swiss studies on the incidence of overweight and obesity are summarized and compared to the corresponding prevalence rates from the Heureka study. Interestingly, data on body weight indexes (mostly mass indexes) and the various prevalence rates showed good accordance for younger age groups. In the upper age classes however, phenotypic differences concerning determinants and risk factors for overweight became obvious in the different Swiss populations (i.e. from geographically different regions of Switzerland). Nevertheless, regional risk factors could not been detected because specific data were lacking. The importance of uniform weight definitions for studies as well as for daily practise is stressed.
在本研究中，总结了瑞士关于超重和肥胖发生率的最重要研究，并与来自Heureka研究的相应患病率进行了比较。有趣的是，关于体重指数（主要是质量指数）的数据和各种患病率在较年轻年龄组中显示出良好的一致性。然而，在较高年龄组中，瑞士不同人群（即来自瑞士不同地理区域）中超重的决定因素和风险因素的表型差异变得明显。然而，由于缺乏具体数据，无法检测到区域风险因素。强调了统一体重定义对于研究以及日常实践的重要性。
