The prevalence of obesity and thinness is unknown among Iranian high-school age girls. We determined the prevalence of overweight and underweight among Iranian high-school girls from Kerman (south-east province of Iran).
A cross-sectional study of indicative cluster sample.
Weight, height, body mass index (BMI), chest, waist, abdomen, hip and thigh circumference of 1000 Iranian high-school girls aged 14-21 y (mean (standard deviation, s.d.) 16.2 (1.3)) were measured. The criteria for very underweight, underweight, desirable weight, grade 1, 2 and 3 overweight used in the present study were: BMI in kg/m2 < 15, 15-19.9, 20-24.9, 25-29.9, 30-39.9 and > or = 40, respectively.
4.6% (95% confidence interval (CI): 3.4%-6.1%) were grade 1 overweight (BMI = 25.0-29.9), 0.7% (95% CI: 0.3%-1.4%) were grade 2 overweight (BMI = 30-39.9), and none were grade 3 overweight (BMI > or = 40), while 54.6% (95% CI: 51.5%-57.7%) were underweight (BMI = 15-19.9) and 1.6% (95% CI: 0.9%-2.6%) were very underweight (BMI < 15). The mean (s.d.) BMI was 19.8 (2.9) (95% CI: 19.6-20.0). The mean (s.d.) waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), abdomen-to-hip ratio and chest-to-hip ratio values were 0.8 (0.06) (95% CI: 0.8-0.81), 0.8 (0.07) (95% CI: 0.8-0.81) and 0.9 (0.07) (95% CI: 0.9-0.91), respectively, in this sample.
The results suggest a low prevalence of overweight among Iranian young women.
伊朗高中年龄女孩的肥胖和消瘦患病率尚不清楚。我们测定了来自克尔曼（伊朗东南部省份）的伊朗高中女生中超重和体重过轻的患病率。
指示性整群抽样的横断面研究。
对1000名年龄在14 - 21岁（平均（标准差，s.d.）16.2（1.3））的伊朗高中女生测量体重、身高、体重指数（BMI）、胸围、腰围、腹围、臀围和大腿围。本研究中使用的极体重过轻、体重过轻、理想体重、1级、2级和3级超重的标准分别为：BMI（kg/m²）< 15、15 - 19.9、20 - 24.9、25 - 29.9、30 - 39.9和≥40。
4.6%（95%置信区间（CI）：3.4% - 6.1%）为1级超重（BMI = 25.0 - 29.9），0.7%（95% CI：0.3% - 1.4%）为2级超重（BMI = 30 - 39.9），无3级超重（BMI≥40），而54.6%（95% CI：51.5% - 57.7%）体重过轻（BMI = 15 - 19.9），1.6%（95% CI：0.9% - 2.6%）极体重过轻（BMI < 15）。平均（s.d.）BMI为19.8（2.9）（95% CI：19.6 - 20.0）。该样本中平均（s.d.）腰臀比（WHR）、腹臀比和胸臀比分别为0.8（0.06）（95% CI：0.8 - 0.81）、0.8（0.07）（95% CI：0.8 - 0.81）和0.9（0.07）（95% CI：0.9 - 0.91）。
结果表明伊朗年轻女性中超重患病率较低。
