为了确定居住在斐济的40岁美拉尼西亚人和印度斐济人的体重指数(BMI；kg/m(2))的分布和社会人口学相关性，2009年进行了一项基于人口的横断面调查，采用多阶段随机抽样。美拉尼西亚人更有可能有BMI&>=25(优势比[OR]=4.73；95%可信区间[CI]=3.57-6.28；P<；.001)和BMI&>=30(OR=3.84；95%CI=2.94-5.03；P<；.001)。在美拉尼西亚人中，在多变量分析中，性别和教育程度是BMI>；=25的预测因素。女性更容易超重(OR=2.03；95%CI=1.34~3.06)或肥胖(OR=1.92；95%CI=1.43~2.59)。在印度人中，性别和年龄再次预测BMI，女性更有可能超重(OR=2.51；95%CI=1.69-3.73)或肥胖(OR=3.71；95%CI=2.19-6.29)。经性别、年龄、户籍调整和外推，在整个斐济，年龄=40岁的美拉尼西亚人中，分别有0.3%、84.5%和51.7%的人体重指数=25和=30。在印度人中，这一数值分别为5.8%、54.2%和21.2%。
To determine the distribution and sociodemographic associations of body mass index (BMI; kg/m(2)) among Melanesian and Indian Fijians aged >= 40 years living in Fiji, a population-based cross-sectional survey with multistage random sampling was conducted in 2009. Melanesians were more likely to have BMI >= 25 (odds ratio [OR] = 4.73; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.57-6.28; P < .001) and BMI >= 30 (OR = 3.84; 95% CI = 2.94-5.03; P < .001). Among Melanesians, gender and educational attainment were predictive of BMI >= 25 on multivariate analysis. Women were more likely to be overweight (OR = 2.03; 95% CI = 1.34-3.06) or obese (OR = 1.92; 95% CI = 1.43-2.59). Among Indians, gender and age were predictive of BMI Again, women were more likely to be overweight (OR = 2.51; 95% CI = 1.69-3.73) or obese (OR = 3.71; 95% CI = 2.19-6.29). Gender age domicile-adjusted, and extrapolating across Fiji, 0.3%, 84.5%, and 51.7% of Melanesians aged >= 40 years had BMI = 25 and >= 30, respectively. Among Indians, these values were 5.8%, 54.2%, and 21.2%, respectively.
