National, regional, and global trends in body-mass index since 1980: systematic analysis of health examination surveys and epidemiological studies with 960 country-years and 9?1 million participants
Original language description
BACKGROUND: Excess bodyweight is a major public health concern. However, few worldwide comparative analyses of long-term trends of body-mass index (BMI) have been done, and none have used recent national health examination surveys. We estimated worldwidetrends in population mean BMI. METHODS: We estimated trends and their uncertainties of mean BMI for adults 20 years and older in 199 countries and territories. We obtained data from published and unpublished health examination surveys and epidemiological studies (960 country-years and 9?1 million participants). For each sex, we used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate mean BMI by age, country, and year, accounting for whether a study was nationally representative. FINDINGS: Between 1980 and 2008,mean BMI worldwide increased by 0?4 kg/m(2) per decade (95% uncertainty interval 0?2-0?6, posterior probability of being a true increase >0?999) for men and 0?5 kg/m(2) per decade (0?3-0?7, posterior probability >0?999) for women.
