目标和参与者：体重，成分和大小的变化进行了检查，在大学新生在开始（初始，n = 240）和秋季学期结束2007年（n = 214）和春季学期结束2008年（n = 205）。方法：身高，体重，身体成分，腰围和臀围测量进行了评估。结果：平均体重，身体质量指数（BMI），绝对和百分之身体脂肪都显着增加秋季学期和学年。大约31%的新生减掉了5磅以上。平均学年体重增加为2.6磅（整个组）和6.0磅（体重增加者）;体重增加者的体脂增加了4.4磅。体重变化与腰围变化之间存在显著相关性（r = 0.509），但体重变化与腰臀比变化之间不存在相关性。结论：新生体重增加与体脂和腰围的增加有关，如果这种趋势在整个大学期间持续下去，这可能会带来麻烦。
Objectives and Participants: Changes in body weight, composition, and size were examined in college freshmen at the beginning (initial, n = 240) and end of fall semester 2007 (n = 214) and the end of spring semester 2008 (n = 205). Methods: Height, weight, body composition, and waist and hip measurements were assessed. Results: Mean weight, body mass index (BMI), absolute and percent body fat all increased significantly over fall semester and the academic year. About 31% of freshmen lost >= 5 lbs. Mean academic year weight gain was 2.6 lbs (entire group) and 6.0 lbs (weight gainers); body fat increased by 4.4 lbs in the weight gainers. A significant correlation (r = .509) was found between weight change and waist circumference change, but not between weight change and waist to hip ratio change. Conclusions: Freshmen weight gain is associated with increases in body fat and waist circumference, which may be troublesome should the trend continue throughout college.
