成年人超重和肥胖被认为是全球范围内日益严重的流行病，并且在中国似乎正在迅速增加。 1992年至2002年，成人超重发生率增加了39.0%，肥胖发生率增加了一倍。为了确定中国成人超重和肥胖的决定因素，对大阪大学全球卓越中心项目开展的题为“偏好参数研究”的问卷调查的微观数据进行了分析。除了整个样本外，还分析了城市和农村子样本的数据，以调查超重和肥胖的决定因素是否不同。结果表明，城市受访者的体重指数（BMI）与主观幸福感、性别、年龄、劳动强度和饮食习惯相关，农村受访者的体重指数与年龄、月收入、兄弟姐妹数量和饮食习惯相关。
Overweight and obesity in adult populations is considered to be a growing epidemic worldwide, and appears to be rapidly increasing in China. From 1992 to 2002, the incidence of overweight in adults increased by 39.0%, while that of obesity doubled. To identify the determinants of adult overweight and obesity in China, micro-level data from a questionnaire survey entitled the Preference Parameters Study,' which was conducted by the Global Centers of Excellence programme at Osaka University, were analysed. In addition to the entire sample, data from urban and rural subsamples were also analysed in order to investigate whether the determinants of overweight and obesity differed. The results suggested that body mass index (BMI) is correlated with subjective well-being, gender, age, labour intensity and drinking and eating habits among urban respondents, and with age, monthly income, number of siblings and eating habits among rural respondents.
