在过去的十年中，韩国的肥胖症大幅增加，这导致2型糖尿病等并发症的急剧增加。在这篇综述中，我们根据1995年、1998年和2001年的国家健康和营养调查，讨论了韩国肥胖的过去和现状。由于韩国在地理上与世隔绝，移民相对较少，遗传异质性水平较低，因此本报告展示了环境因素对亚洲国家之一肥胖症发展的影响。2001年报告的第三次全国健康和营养调查宣布，韩国成年人中肥胖[体重指数（BMI）>= 25.0 kg/m（-2）]的总体流行率为30.6%（男性为32.4%，女性为29.4%）。从1990年代到新千年开始，成人和儿童肥胖症的流行率迅速增加，并且随着我们快速的社会经济进步而稳步增加。尤其要特别注意两个处于荷尔蒙转换期的群体：一是因为男性更年期或更年期而经历体重、BMI和腰围大幅增加的中年男女，二是正在准备资格或入学考试，容易出现营养过剩或营养失衡、缺乏运动的初高中青少年。
During the past decade, obesity has substantially increased in Korea, and this is leading to dramatic increases in complications such as type 2 diabetes. In this review, we discuss the past and the current situation of obesity in Korea based on the national health and nutrition surveys of 1995, 1998, and 2001. Because Korea is geographically isolated with relatively few migrants and has a low level of genetic heterogeneity, this report demonstrates the impact of environmental factors on the development of obesity beyond epidemiological information about one of the Asian countries. The third national health and nutrition survey reported in 2001 announced that the overall prevalence of obesity [body mass index (BMI) >= 25.0 kg m(-2)] in Korean adults is 30.6% (32.4% in men and 29.4% in women). The prevalence of obesity in adults and children has increased rapidly from 1990s through the beginning of the new millennium and is steadily increasing in parallel with our rapid socio-economic progress. In particular, special attention should be paid to two groups in hormonal transition: first, middle-aged men and women who experience a great increase in body weight, BMI and waist circumference because of andropause or menopause, and second, adolescents in middle to high school who are preparing for qualification or entrance examinations and are prone to overnutrition or nutritional imbalance and physical inactivity.
