目的：监测2002 ~ 2007年哥本哈根市学龄儿童超重和肥胖的流行趋势。方法：哥本哈根市社区卫生服务机构的医生在入学时（5-8岁）和离校时（14-16岁）进行常规检查。计算了33245名学龄儿童的体重指数（kg/m2）。超重（包括肥胖）和肥胖的患病率进行了分类使用国际肥胖工作组definitions.Results：从2002年至2007年，虽然超重（包括肥胖）的患病率在年轻女孩从17.8%下降到15.9%，趋势是不显着的。在年轻男孩中，这一趋势略有下降，患病率从14.0%降至11.6%。在少女中，患病率变化很大，从22.7%增加到25.4%，没有明显的趋势。在青春期男孩中，这一趋势略有增加，患病率从15.8%上升到18.9%。有没有显着变化的患病率obesity.Conclusion：与前几十年相比，我们确定了一个潜在的停滞在儿童中的肥胖流行，但在青少年中的持续增加。继续监测和加强预防措施，以减少超重和肥胖症的流行，仍然至关重要。
Aim:The purpose of this study is to monitor the prevalence trend in overweight and obesity among Copenhagen schoolchildren from the school years 2002 to 2007.Methods:Copenhagen community health service doctors conducted routine examinations at school entry (ages 5-8 years) and exit (ages 14-16 years). Body mass index (kg/m2) of 33 245 schoolchildren was calculated. The prevalence of overweight (including obesity) and obesity was classified using the International Obesity Task Force definitions.Results:From 2002 to 2007, although the prevalence of overweight (including obesity) in young girls decreased from 17.8 to 15.9%, the trend was non-significant. In young boys, the trend slightly decreased, and the prevalence fell from 14.0 to 11.6%. In adolescent girls, the prevalence varied considerably and increased from 22.7 to 25.4% without a discernable trend. In adolescent boys, the trend slightly increased, and the prevalence rose from 15.8 to 18.9%. There were no significant changes in the prevalence of obesity.Conclusion:In contrast to the preceding decades, we identified a potential stagnation in the obesity epidemic among children but a continuing increase among adolescents. It remains critical to continue monitoring and to increase preventive measures to reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity.
