本研究的目的是检查超重和肥胖的流行变化，使用国际肥胖工作组的标准，在三个队列的儿童和青少年生活在克拉科夫，波兰，在1971年，1983年和2000年。男孩和女孩的超重和肥胖率翻了一番，从1971年的7.5%和6.5%增至2000年的15.2%和11.8%。最年轻的年龄组（男孩7-12岁，女孩7-10岁）的流行率增幅最大，青少年的增幅较小，最年长的年龄组（男孩16-18岁，女孩14-18岁）的流行率增幅最小。相对于男性，青春期女性的BMI没有积极的长期趋势，这可能是由于波兰向自由市场经济过渡带来的社会文化压力。在整个青春期，女孩试图达到媒体和社会更普遍描绘的理想身材的程度会增加。(c)2007 Elsevier B.

The aim of this study is to examine changes in prevalence of overweight and obesity, using International Obesity Task Force criteria, in three cohorts of children and youth living in Cracow, Poland, in 1971, 1983 and 2000. Rates of overweight and obesity doubled among boys and girls, from 7.5% and 6.5% in 1971, to 15.2% and 11.8% in the year 2000. The greatest increases in prevalence occurred in the youngest age groups (7-12 years for boys and 7-10 years for girls), increases being less extensive among adolescents, and lowest of all in the oldest age groups (16-18 years in boys and 14-18 years in girls). The absence of a positive secular trend in BMI among adolescent females relative to males may be due to sociocultural pressures associated with transition to a free market economy in Poland. The extent to which girls attempt to achieve the ideal body, as portrayed by media and society more generally, increases across adolescence. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
