本研究调查了国际收养者成年早期超重[体重指数 (BMI) 大于或等于 25 kg·m(2)] 的患病率。将来自不同原籍国的被收养者的超重发生率与一大群非被收养者的超重发生率进行了比较。 1973 年至 1977 年出生、17 岁居住在瑞典的全部 275026 名年轻人均被纳入其中。兵役征兵登记册和一些人口登记册之间建立了创纪录的联系。 18岁年龄的BMI数据来自1991-1995年进行的军事征兵考试。 2400 名收养者中 12.7% 的 BMI 缺失，263173 名非收养者中 10.8% 的 BMI 缺失。在来自拉丁美洲的 623 名被收养者中，21.5%（95% 置信区间 18.3-24.7）超重，其中来自智利的 266 名被收养者超重患病率特别高（28.6%，23.1-34.0）。在来自印度次大陆的 502 名被收养者中，8.4%（5.9-10.8）超重，在来自印度的 317 名被收养者中，超重患病率为 8.8%（5.7-12.0）。在来自远东的 817 名被收养者中，12.0%（9.8-14.2）超重，在来自韩国的 404 名被收养者中，超重率为 10.9%（7.9-13.9）。非收养个体中的相应数字为14.1%（14.0-14.2）。结论：不同收养群体之间以及收养和非收养对象之间的超重患病率差异非常显着，可能是由于超重遗传易感性的差异所致。
This study investigated the prevalence of overweight [body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 25 kg m(2)] in young adulthood among international adoptees. The prevalence of overweight among adoptees from various countries of origin was compared with that in a large group of non-adopted individuals. All 275026 young men born in 1973-1977 and living in Sweden at 17 y of age were included. A record linkage was made between the Military Service Conscription Register and several population registers. Data on BMI at 18 y of age were obtained from military conscription examinations conducted in 1991-1995. BMI was missing for 12.7% of 2400 adoptees and 10.8% of 263173 non-adoptees. Among 623 adoptees from Latin America 21.5% (95% confidence interval 18.3-24.7) were overweight, with a particularly high prevalence of overweight among the 266 adoptees from Chile (28.6%, 23.1-34.0). Among 502 adoptees from the Indian subcontinent 8.4% (5.9-10.8) were overweight and the prevalence of overweight was 8.8% (5.7-12.0) among 317 adoptees from India. Among 817 adoptees from the Far East 12.0% (9.8-14.2) were overweight and the prevalence of overweight was 10.9% (7.9-13.9) among 404 from South Korea. The corresponding figure was 14.1% (14.0-14.2) among the non-adopted individuals.Conclusion: These differences in prevalence of overweight between various groups of adoptees and between adopted and non-adopted subjects are remarkable and are probably due to diversity in genetic susceptibility to overweight.
