目的 估计美国育龄妇女超重和肥胖的患病率。方法 我们的研究人群来自 2002 年全国家庭成长调查 (NSFG)，由年龄在 20-44 岁、具有有效体重指数 (BMI) 的非怀孕女性受访者组成 (N = 5,958)。进行单变量和双变量分析，记录超重和肥胖患病率随年龄、种族和西班牙裔以及社会经济地位的变化。结果 总体而言，20-44 岁女性中有 24.5% 超重（BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m(2)），23.0% 肥胖（BMI 千分之一 30.0 kg/m(2)）。在肥胖者中，10.3%符合II级或III级肥胖标准（BMI千分之35.0 kg/m(2)）。与非西班牙裔白人女性相比，非西班牙裔黑人和女性超重或肥胖的可能性是非西班牙裔白人女性的 2.25 倍（95% CI：1.87-2.69）。在对教育、家庭收入和健康保险覆盖范围进行调整后，非西班牙裔黑人和非西班牙裔白人女性之间的风险差异有所缩小，不再具有统计显着性。结论 近二分之一的美国育龄女性超重或肥胖。患病率的种族/民族差异可能部分归因于教育程度、家庭收入和健康保险覆盖范围的稳定性的差异。
Objective To estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among U.S. women of childbearing age. Methods Our study population was drawn from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) and consisted of non-pregnant female respondents aged 20-44 years with a valid body mass index (BMI) (N = 5,958). Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted to document variations in the prevalence of overweight and obesity by age, race and Hispanic origin, and socioeconomic status. Results Overall, 24.5% of women 20-44 years of age were overweight (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m(2)) and 23.0% were obese (BMI a parts per thousand yen 30.0 kg/m(2)). Among those who were obese, 10.3% met the criteria for class II or III obesity (BMI a parts per thousand yen 35.0 kg/m(2)). Non-Hispanic black and women were 2.25 times more likely to be overweight or obese compared to non-Hispanic white women (95% CI: 1.87-2.69). This disparity in risk between non-Hispanic black and non-Hispanic white women declined and no longer achieved statistical significance after adjustment for education, household income, and health insurance coverage. Conclusions Nearly one in two U.S. women of childbearing age are either overweight or obese. The racial/ethnic disparity in prevalence rates may be due in part to variability in educational attainment, household income, and stability of health insurance coverage.
