目的：比较10年的变化，在农村和城市的肥胖症的分布喀麦隆population.Methods和程序：两个横断面调查的人口在同一个农村和城市地区的喀麦隆，年龄>= 24岁，进行了1994年（1,762例）和2003年（1,398例）使用类似的方法。所有符合条件的受试者回答了关于其教育水平、饮酒和吸烟的结构式问卷，并测量了体重、身高和腰围（WC）。在1994年至2003年期间，BMI >= 25 kg/m2的年龄标准化患病率仅在农村地区显著增加（女性为+54%，男性为+82%），而年龄标准化的中心性肥胖患病率（WC >= 80 cm（女性），>= 94 cm（男性））仅在城市人群中显著增加（女性为+32%，男性为+190%）。这些差异持续调整后的年龄组，饮酒，吸烟，和教育水平，并在几乎所有阶层的研究的风险factors.Discussion：肥胖随着时间的推移在喀麦隆的变化的特点是增加BMI在农村地区和WC在城市地区。
Objective: To compare the 10-year changes in the distribution of adiposity in rural and urban Cameroonian populations.Methods and Procedures: Two cross-sectional surveys of populations in the same rural and urban areas of Cameroon, aged >= 24 years, were carried out in 1994 (1,762 subjects) and 2003 (1,398 subjects) using similar methodology. All eligible subjects answered a structured questionnaire on their educational level, alcohol consumption, and tobacco smoking and weight, height, and waist circumference (WC) were measured.Results: Between 1994 and 2003, the age- standardized prevalence of BMI >= 25 kg/m(2) increased significantly only in the rural area (+54% for women and +82% for men), while the age- standardized prevalence of central obesity (WC >= 80 cm (women), >= 94 cm (men)) increased significantly only in the urban population (+32% for women and +190% for men). These differences persisted after adjustments for age group, alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, and level of education, and within almost all the strata of the studied risk factors.Discussion: Changes in adiposity over time in Cameroon were characterized by an increase of BMI in the rural area and of WC in the urban area.
