Trends in prevalence of overweight and obesity in danish infants, children and adolescents--are we still on a plateau?

<h4>Background</h4>After the worldwide steep increase in child and adolescent overweight and obesity during the last decades, there is now evidence of a levelling off in the prevalence in many countries in the Western world.<h4>Aim</h4>To examine whether there still is a plat...

Overweight and obesity were categorized according to WHO growth standards. Trends were assessed by repeated point estimates and linear regression analyses providing regression coefficients for changes in per cent per year with 95% confidence intervals (CI).<h4>Results</h4>The prevalence rates of overweight and obesity for infants, children and adolescents showed a mixed pattern of decline, stability and increase (ranging from -1.10 through 0.29 per cent per year with CI's from -3.10 through 2.37). Overall, there were no consistent statistically significant trends upwards or downwards, although some significant downward trends in childhood and adolescence were observed.<h4>Conclusion</h4>This study, based on data from 1998 through 2011, showed that the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity among Danish infants, children and adolescents were largely still on a plateau with tendencies for a decline among children and adolescents.Camilla Schmidt MorgenBenjamin RokholmCarina Sjöberg BrixvalCamilla Schou AndersenLise Geisler AndersenMette RasmussenAnne-Marie Nybo AndersenPernille DueThorkild I A SørensenPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 8, Iss 7, p e69860 (2013)
