在挪威成年男性中，身体质量指数（BMI）从20世纪60年代末的约25 kg/m(2)增加到20世纪90年代末的约26.5 kg/m(2)，同期肥胖患病率从约5%增加到15%。女性肥胖率实际上从60年代末的13%下降到了80年代末的7%。然而，在过去几年中，患病率也有所增加，在20世纪90年代末达到约13%。值得注意的是，BMI均值和中位数都随着分布向右移动而增加。因此，正常体重个体的比例下降了，而肥胖个体的比例却上升了。体重指数的增加发生在不同的年龄组。虽然肥胖与受教育程度低和久坐不动的生活方式有关，但身体质量指数的增加也发生在受教育程度高、身体活跃的人身上。(c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd版权所有。
In Norwegian adult men, body mass index (BMI) increased from around 25 kg/m(2) in the late 1960s to around 26.5 kg/m(2) in the late 1990s, and the prevalence of obesity increased from about 5% to 15% in the same period. In women the prevalence of obesity actually decreased from around 13% in the late 1960s to 7% in the late 1980s. However, during the last years the prevalence has also increased reaching about 13% in the late 1990s. It is important to note that both mean and median BMI has increased with a shift in the distribution to the right. The proportion of normal weight individuals has thus decreased, whereas the proportion of obese has increased. The increase in BMI has occurred in different age groups. Although obesity is associated with low education and a sedentary lifestyle, the increase in BMI has also occurred in the more educated and physical active. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
