To determine the prevalence of obesity and reference percentile curves of body mass index (BMI; kg/m2) in Japanese adults.
Cross-sectional nationwide surveys (The National Nutrition Survey, Japan) carried out in 1990-1994. A sample of 23,556 males and 28,751 females aged 15-84 y was used for this analysis.
The prevalence of grades 1 (BMI: 25.0-29.9), 2 (30.0-39.9) and 3 (> or = 40.0) overweight, was estimated to be 24.3%, 1.84% and 0.019% in males, respectively, and 20.2%, 2.87% and 0.032% in females, respectively, subjects aged 35-64 y after standardization to the age-distribution of the standard world population (WHO, 1993). The age-standardized prevalence of obesity (for BMI > or = 26.4, a criterion of the Japan Society for the Study of Obesity; and > or = 30.0 was 13.6% and 1.86% in males, respectively, and 13.5% and 2.90% in females, respectively, subjects aged 35-64 y.
The standardized prevalence of obesity (BMI > or = 30.0) in Japanese adults was quite low compared with the data in western populations.
确定日本成年人肥胖症的患病率及体重指数（BMI；千克/平方米）的参考百分位数曲线。
1990 - 1994年开展的全国性横断面调查（日本全国营养调查）。本分析使用了23556名年龄在15 - 84岁的男性和28751名年龄在15 - 84岁的女性作为样本。
按照世界标准人口年龄分布（世界卫生组织，1993年）进行标准化后，1级（BMI：25.0 - 29.9）、2级（30.0 - 39.9）和3级（≥40.0）超重的患病率在男性中分别估计为24.3%、1.84%和0.019%，在女性中分别为20.2%、2.87%和0.032%，年龄在35 - 64岁的人群。肥胖症（BMI≥26.4，日本肥胖症研究学会的标准；以及≥30.0）的年龄标准化患病率在年龄为35 - 64岁的男性中分别为13.6%和1.86%，在女性中分别为13.5%和2.90%。
与西方人群的数据相比，日本成年人肥胖症（BMI≥30.0）的标准化患病率相当低。
