目的：记录阿拉斯加白令海峡地区四个村庄的爱斯基摩居民的身高、体重、BMI 和肥胖患病率。设计和对象：454 名 24 岁以上非怀孕居民，其中至少一名爱斯基摩祖父母参与每个村庄的一项横断面调查。测量：身高、体重、BMI 计算（kg/m 2）、“超重”比例（BMI） 25-29.9），以及“肥胖”比例（BMI≥30）。 结果：女性和男性的平均身高分别为 153.4 厘米和 165.2 厘米；体重分别为64.2公斤和71.6公斤；年龄标准化后，BMI分别为27.2和26.2 kg/m 2 。对于女性来说，27.9% 超重，32.8% 肥胖，而男性则分别为 36.2% 和 15.6%。与强心研究的三个地点相比，阿拉斯加西伯利亚项目的阿拉斯加爱斯基摩参与者总体超重比例（BMI≥25，女性为 54.9%，男性为 32.0%）显着较低，女性为 65.9% 至 80.2%，男性为 53.6% 至 66.7%。与美国各个种族的男性相比，爱斯基摩男性的超重和肥胖参与者比例相似。与所有种族的美国女性相比，爱斯基摩女性的肥胖比例明显较高，但超重比例相似。 结论：虽然阿拉斯加爱斯基摩人的肥胖患病率低于美洲印第安人，但本研究中观察到的高超重比例引起了阿拉斯加爱斯基摩成年人，尤其是女性的关注。
OBJECTIVE: To document the height, weight, BMI and prevalence of obesity for Eskimo residents of four villages of the Bering Straits Region of Alaska.DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: 454 Non-pregnant residents over 24 y of age, with at least one Eskimo grandparent participated in one cross sectional survey within each village.MEASUREMENTS: Height, weight, calculation of BMI (kg/m 2), proportion of ‘overweight’(BMI 25–29.9), and proportion of ‘obese’(BMI≥ 30).RESULTS: For women and men, respectively, mean heights were 153.4 and 165.2 cm; weights were 64.2 and 71.6 kg; and BMI were 27.2 and 26.2 kg/m 2 after age standardization. For women, 27.9% were overweight, and 32.8% were obese compared with 36.2% and 15.6%, respectively, for men. Alaskan Eskimo participants of the Alaska Siberia Project had a significantly lower proportion of total overweight (BMI≥ 25, 54.9% for women, and 32.0% for men) compared with the three sites of the Strong Heart Study, which ranged from 65.9 to 80.2% for women and 53.6 to 66.7% for men. Compared with American men of all races, the proportion of overweight and obese participants was similar for Eskimo men. The proportion of obese was significantly higher for Eskimo women compared with American women of all races, but the proportion of overweight was similar.CONCLUSION: Although the prevalence of obesity among the Alaskan Eskimos is lower than for American Indians, the high proportion of overweight observed in this study is of concern for Alaskan Eskimo adults, especially for women.
