The Trend of Mean BMI Values of US Adults, Birth Cohorts 1882-1986 Indicates that the Obesity Epidemic began Earlier than Hitherto Thought

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The trend in the body mass index (BMI) values of the US population has not been estimated accurately because the time series data are unavailable and the focus has been on calculating period effects. To estimate the trend and rate of change of BMI valuesby birth cohorts stratified by gender and ethnicity born 1882-1986, we use (semiparametric) loess additive regression models to estimate age and trend effects of BMI values of US-born black and white adults measured between 1959 and 2006. We infer thattransition to postindustrial weights was a gradual process and began considerably earlier than hitherto supposed. The rate of increase was fastest among black females; for the three other groups under consideration, the rates of increase were similar. The generally persistent upward trend was punctuated by upsurges, particularly after each of the two world wars.
