本文介绍了全球儿童肥胖的流行现状和时间趋势，以及儿童肥胖与社会经济地位（SES）的关系。儿童肥胖已成为全球公共卫生危机。发病率在西方和工业化国家最高，但在一些发展中国家仍然很低。患病率也因年龄和性别而异。世卫组织美洲和东地中海区域的超重和肥胖患病率（30-40%）高于欧洲（20-30%）、东南亚、西太平洋和非洲区域（后三个区域为10-20%）。据估计，共有4300万儿童（发展中国家3500万）超重或肥胖；2010年有9200万人面临超重风险。自1990年以来，全球超重和肥胖患病率急剧上升，例如在学龄前儿童中，从1990年的约4%上升到2010年的7%。如果这一趋势继续下去，到2020年，患病率可能达到9%，即6000万人。肥胖与ses的关联因性别、年龄和国家而异。总的来说，获得能量密集饮食的社会经济地位群体（工业化国家的社会经济地位低，发展中国家的社会经济地位高）比他们的同类群体有更高的肥胖风险。
This paper describes the current prevalence and time trends of childhood obesity worldwide, and the association between childhood obesity and socio-economic status (SES). Childhood obesity has become a global public health crisis. The prevalence is highest in western and industrialized countries, but still low in some developing countries. The prevalence also varies by age and gender. The WHO Americas and eastern Mediterranean regions had higher prevalence of overweight and obesity (30–40%) than the European (20–30%), south-east Asian, western Pacific, and African regions (10–20% in the latter three). A total of 43 million children (35 million in developing countries) were estimated to be overweight or obese; 92 million were at risk of overweight in 2010. The global overweight and obesity prevalence has increased dramatically since 1990, for example in preschool-age children, from approximately 4% in 1990 to 7% in 2010. If this trend continues, the prevalence may reach 9% or 60 million people in 2020. The obesity–SES association varies by gender, age, and country. In general, SES groups with greater access to energy-dense diets (low-SES in industrialized countries and high-SES in developing countries) are at increased risk of being obese than their counterparts.
