本文研究了发展中国家饮食、活动和肥胖的变化速度，并指出了导致变化速度差异的潜在恶化的生物学关系。重点是亚洲、非洲、中东和拉丁美洲的中低收入国家。这些饮食、体育活动和身体组成的变化正在这些国家经济和社会发展的早期阶段迅速发生。还有一些与身体成分和潜在遗传因素有关的独特问题也在探索中，包括体重指数（BMI）-疾病关系的潜在差异以及高水平不良胎儿和婴儿生长模式带来的额外风险。此外，还有一个重要的动态发生-在穷人的饮食，不活动和肥胖的负担从富人转移到穷人。发展中世界需要更加重视预防这种向营养过渡阶段的退化性疾病对健康造成的不利后果。关键词：营养转变、饮食变化、肥胖（c）2004年国际生命科学研究所。
This paper examines the speed of change in diet, activity, and obesity in the developing world, and notes potential exacerbating biological relationships that contribute to differences in the rates of change. The focus is on lower- and middle-income countries of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. These dietary, physical activity, and body composition changes are occurring at great speed and at earlier stages of these countries' economic and social development. There are some unique issues that relate to body composition and potential genetic factors that are also explored, including potential differences in body mass index (BMI) - disease relationships and added risks posed by high levels of poor fetal and infant growth patterns. In addition there is an important dynamic occurring-the shift in the burden of poor diets, inactivity and obesity from the rich to the poor. The developing world needs to give far greater emphasis to addressing the prevention of the adverse health consequences of this shift to the nutrition transition stage of the degenerative diseases. Key words: nutrition transition, dietary change, obesity (c) 2004 International Life Sciences Institute.
