我们研究了肥胖和代谢综合征的患病率和趋势，韩国成年人年龄在20岁以上，韩国国家健康检查和营养调查数据从1998年和2001年。2001年，韩国成年人中体重指数（BMI）≥ 25 kg m（-2）的流行率为男性32.9%，女性27.4%，自1998年以来，BMI ≥ 25 kg m（-2）的韩国男性人数显著增加。在韩国男性中发现肥胖与社会经济地位之间存在显着的正相关，而在韩国女性中发现了显着的负相关。2001年男性腰围≥ 90 cm和女性腰围≥ 85 cm的患病率分别为23.4%和23.1%。根据代谢综合征的各种标准，韩国成年人的代谢综合征患病率为15-30%。未来的研究需要确定韩国人肥胖患病率的变化和肥胖的影响因素。
We studied the prevalence and trend of obesity and metabolic syndrome in Korean adults aged at least 20 years using Korean National Health Examination and Nutrition Survey data from 1998 and 2001. The prevalence of body mass index (BMI) >= 25 kg m(-2) among Korean adults in 2001 was 32.9% in men and 27.4% in women, and the number of Korean men with BMI >= 25 kg m(-2) has increased markedly since 1998. A significant positive association between obesity and socioeconomic status was found in Korean men, whereas a significant negative association was identified in Korean women. The prevalence rates of waist circumference (WC) >= 90 cm in men and WC >= 85 cm in women were 23.4% and 23.1% in 2001 respectively. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among Korean adults was 15-30% according to various criteria of metabolic syndrome. Future studies are needed to determine the changes in prevalence of obesity and contributing factors for obesity in Koreans.
