背景资料：手术患者肥胖的患病率随时间的变化，并在有关的一般population.Methods：身高，体重，年龄和性别数据的成年患者接受全身麻醉在我们的机构进行了抽象。1989-1991年和2006-2008年的可靠数据可用，并在这些时期之间进行了比较。我们的明尼苏达州的手术患者和一般的明尼苏达州population.Results之间进行了额外的比较：患者体重发生了实质性的变化，正常体重的患者（体重指数[BMI] 35）从7.1%下降到14.8%（P < 0.001）。明尼苏达州的外科手术患者有较高的肥胖患病率在每个人口统计学类别（P < 0.001）相比，一般population.Conclusion：一个显着增加的患病率肥胖和病态肥胖的外科手术患者在我们的机构发生和肥胖的患病率在我们当代的做法是高于一般人群。这些观察结果很可能对医疗保健提供资源产生深远的影响，尽管其影响尚未确定。
Background : Changes in the prevalence of obesity of surgical patients overtime and in relation to the general population have not been well characterized.Methods : Height, weight, age and gender data of adult patients who underwent general anesthesia at our institution were abstracted. Reliable data was available for the years 1989-1991 and 2006-2008, and comparisons were made between these epochs. Additional comparisons were made between our Minnesota surgical patients and the general Minnesota population.Results : Substantial changes in patient weight occurred with a decline in normal weight patients (body mass index [BMI] 35) from 7.1% to 14.8% (P < 0.001). Minnesota surgical patients had a higher prevalence of obesity in every demographic category (P < 0.001) compared to the general population.Conclusion : A substantial increase in the prevalence of obesity and morbid obesity among surgical patients at our institution occurred and the prevalence of obesity in our contemporary practice is higher than the general population. These observations most likely have profound implications on healthcare delivery resources, though its impact has yet to be determined.
