该研究的目的是描述 9 年来法国成年人肥胖的患病率。邮寄问卷调查分别于1997年、2000年、2003年和2006年，采用定额的方法抽取了2万个有代表性的法国家庭。所选家庭> = 18 岁的所有成员均报告了体重、身高和腰围。肥胖的定义是根据世界卫生组织的标准，BMI>30 kg/m(2)。成人肥胖的患病率从1997年的8.6%（95%置信区间：8.2-8.8）逐步增加到2006年的13.1%（12.7-13.5）。这种增加影响到所有年龄段、社会经济阶层和地区。尽管从1997年到2003年，男性和女性的肥胖患病率平行增加，但2003年到2006年间，男性的增长率较低。这些调查显示，近年来法国肥胖患病率急剧上升，而20世纪80年代的患病率保持稳定。第一次Obepi调查的结果促使法国政府于2001年实施了一项营养与健康国家计划。需要定期监测法国和邻国的肥胖流行率，以比较未来的趋势。
The objective of the study was to describe the prevalences of obesity in French adults over a 9-year period. Mailed questionnaire surveys, in 1997, 2000, 2003, and 2006, sampled 20,000 representative French households by the method of quotas. Weight, height, and waist circumference were reported by all members of the selected households >= 18-years. Obesity was defined according to the WHO criteria, BMI >30 kg/m(2). The prevalence of adult obesity increased progressively from 8.6% (95% confidence interval: 8.2-8.8) in 1997 to 13.1 % (12.7-13.5) in 2006. The increase affected all ages, socioeconomic strata, and regions. Although the prevalence of obesity increased in parallel in men and women from 1997 to 2003, the rate of increase was lower in men between 2003 and 2006. These surveys showed a sharp increase in the prevalence of obesity in France in recent years contrasting with a stable prevalence in the 1980s. The results of the first Obepi surveys prompted the French government to implement a Nutrition and Health National Plan in 2001. Regular monitoring of obesity prevalence in France and neighboring countries is needed to compare future trends.
