Currently， about 155 million school children are overweight， and 30-40 million children are obese. Reports about children obesity are increasing and this global trend has already caused great concern.
Children overweight and obesity may last to adulthood. 55% and 75% of overweight from 6 to 11 and from 12 to 17 respectively can last to adulthood. Obesity from childhood to adulthood reciprocally influences with cardiovascular diseases and non-infectious diseases， which will further aggravate obesity.
目前，全球约有1.55亿学龄儿童青少年超重，3000万到4000万儿童青少年肥胖。关于儿童肥胖的流行病学报道越来越多，其全球流行趋势已引起高度关注。
儿童青少年期体重超重和肥胖最严重的后果是到成年期的延续，发生于6～11岁和12～17岁的肥胖，分别有约55%和75%将持续到成年，而延续到成年的肥胖又与心血管疾病、非传染性疾病相互影响，从而加剧其发生与发展。
Overweight children
in China： 12%
中国12%儿童超重
In today’s China， obesity begins to show the characteristics of becoming younger and increasing of adolescent obesity rate. Zhang Yongjian， the director of the Research Center of Food and Drug Industry Development and Regulatory of Chinese Academy of Social Science， said “we used to think that the overweight people were mostly in western developed countries， while actually， the obesity rate in middle and low income countries keeps increasing. The growth rate of overweight and obesity in childhood of developing countries has been 30% higher than that of developed countries. In China， there are 12% of children are overweight.”
The research center in which Zhang Yongjian works and Guangdong Lvshou Health Information Consulting Co.， Ltd jointly launched the programme “Research on Chinese Overweight”， and focused on the impact of obesity on adolescents. “Children obesity has been concerned globally and WHO even set up Termination of the Childhood Obesity Committee， because obesity in childhood is more serious than that in adulthood” Zhang Yongjian said. An investigation shows that， 45-50% of pupil obesity and 60-70% of high school student obesity will keep this trend to being obese. Besides， compared to peers of normal weight， obese adolescents are more likely depressed and tend to be inferiority complex and self-closing.
在当今中国，已经出现肥胖问题日趋低龄化、青少年肥胖率持续增长等特征。中国社科院食品药品产业发展与监管研究中心主任张永建说，“在我们以往的概念中，肥胖人群大多集中在欧美发达国家，但现实情况是，中低收入国家的肥胖率正在上升，发展中国家的儿童期超重和肥胖增长率，已经比发达国家高出30%，而中国有12%的儿童超重。”
在张永建供职的研究中心和广东绿瘦健康信息咨询有限公司共同启动的一项关于“中国人体重超重课题研究”中，重点关注肥胖对青少年的影响。“全世界都在关注儿童肥胖问题，WHO甚至专门成立了‘终止儿童期肥胖症委员会’。因为青少年肥胖比成年人肥胖影响更为严重。”张永建说，有调查显示，45%至50%的小学生肥胖者和60%-70%的中学生肥胖者在成年后仍然肥胖，另外与体重正常的同龄人相比，肥胖青少年更容易情绪低落，形成自卑心理和自闭性格。 According to the “Chinese Health and Nutrition Survey” co-released by the University of North Carolina and CCDCP， in China 1.9% of youth between 12 and 18 are suffering from diabetes， which is four times of their correspondences of US. China now has about 1.7 million young people have diabetes and 27.7 million people are diagnosed to be pre-diabetes. What’s worse， large quantities of researches in China show that Chinese young people are gaining weight even faster than people in the west countries.
今年，美国北卡罗来纳大学与中国疾控中心合作发布的《中国健康与营养调查》显示，中国12至18岁的孩子中1.9%患有糖尿病，这一数字是美国同龄人的4倍。中国目前共有170万青少年饱受糖尿病之苦，另有2770万人被认为处于糖尿病前期。同时，国内的很多研究也表明，中国的青少年肥胖发展速度比欧美发达国家发展速度还要快。
European youth
overweight： 1/3
欧洲1/3青少年超重
Youth overweight problem is beyond China. February 25， 2014， WHO announced that children overweight is now becoming a great health challenge in Europe， and about 1/3 of European teenagers are overweight.
According to the reports released by WHO， in the 53 European countries and regions， overweight children of 13 and 11 years old are respectively 27% and 33%. WHO Regional Director for Europe Zsuzsanna Jakab thought that the reasons for European children to be obese have a lot， like being short of exercise for a long time， in favor of cheap， high-fat and high sugar convenience food， which would cause “critical damage” to their health.
青少年超重问题并不仅仅存在于当今中国。2014年2月25日，世界卫生组织发布消息称，儿童体重超标正在成为欧洲面临的又一项巨大的健康风险，大约有1/3的欧洲青少年超重。
根据世界卫生组织发布的报告，在欧洲53个国家和地区中，13岁的儿童中有27%超重，11岁的儿童中则有33%超重。世界卫生组织欧洲区主任祖桑娜·杰卡布认为，欧洲儿童肥胖的原因是多方面的，如长期缺乏体育运动，推崇廉价、高脂肪、高糖的方便食品的文化等，这将对青少年的身体造成“致命伤害”。
The report further said that among the children of 11 years old， countries with the highest obesity rate are Greece， Portugal， Ireland and Spain， and those with the lowest rate are Netherlands and Switzerland. WHO recommends that people between 5 and 17 years old should take exercise for at least 60 minutes. WHO nutrition expert Brenda said “we need to create the environment inspiring sports and healthy dietary structure.”
报告称，在11岁的儿童中，肥胖率最高的国家是希腊、葡萄牙、爱尔兰和西班牙。肥胖率最低的则是荷兰和瑞士。世界卫生组织建议，5岁至17岁的儿童每天应至少进行60分钟的体育活动。世界卫生组织营养学专家布兰达说：“我们需要创造鼓励运动和健康饮食选择的环境。
Different reasons of teenager overweight between China and the west
青少年超重原因中西有别
In people’s mind， more vegetables， less sugar and fast food in the dietary， and more exercises are helpful to control weight. But a new investigation by American scientists found that Chinese teenager with these relatively “healthy” living habits are likely to be overweight instead. This investigation involved more than 9， 000 Chinese teenagers showed that teenager overweight in China and in the West may due to different reasons， which cannot be generalized. Researchers believed that this might because cultural differences and the changing lifestyles in the period of Chinese socio-economic transformation.
This investigation was conducted by researchers from the University of South California in these 7 cities as Harbin， Shenyang， Wuhan， Chengdu， Kunming， Hangzhou and Qingdao. The objects are junior and senior high school students from high， medium and low income families.
The investigation revealed that teenager overweight of China and the West share some common reasons， like sleeping less and watching long time TV， while it has more different reasons. One remarkable difference is that having more vegetables and less sugar and fast food caused Chinese teenagers to be overweight and dessert and fast food is considered to be one of the most important reasons causing teenager overweight in the West.
按照通常观念，多吃蔬菜、少吃糖和快餐、勤于锻炼，有利于控制体重。但美国科学家的一项新调查意外发现，有这些相对“健康”生活习惯的中国青少年反而容易超重。
这项涉及9000多名中国青少年的调查显示，造成青少年超重的原因可能中西有别，不能一概而论。研究人员认为，这可能是由于文化差异以及中国社会经济转型期生活方式的变化所致。
这项调查由美国南加利福尼亚大学的研究人员完成。他们在中国哈尔滨、沈阳、武汉、成都、昆明、杭州和青岛7个城市进行了调查，受调查对象为初中及高中生，来自高、中、低不同收入的家庭。
调查发现，中国和西方青少年体重超标有一些共同原因，如睡眠少和看电视时间长，但不同之处更多。其中引人注目的一项就是，相对吃蔬菜较多、吃糖和快餐较少的中国青少年容易超重，而在西方，甜食和快餐被认为是发胖的重要原因之一。
Other differences included： frequently taking part in intense exercises are more likely to gain weight， and teenagers with higher educational level and higher income tend to overweight， which is in opposite to the West.
It also found that boys in China are more likely gain weight than girls， while the rates being overweight for boys and girls in America are basically same.
Researchers also pointed out that the findings of this investigation could serve as the final conclusion. Because the questionnaire survey was conducted across different regions， and there might exist accidents. What’s more， description of their own lifestyles by the objects may not be accurate. On the impact of various factors on teenagers’ weight， more researches are required.
其他不同之处还有：经常参加激烈体育活动的中国青少年更容易超重；父母受教育水平高和收入较高的中国青少年更易超重，这与西方国家的情况也相反。
调查还发现，中国的男孩比女孩更易超重，而美国男孩和女孩超重的几率基本相同；年龄越小的中国孩子发胖的几率越大，在西方则是年龄较大的孩子较易发胖。
研究人员说，调查结果不能作为最终结论，因为问卷调查是跨地区进行，可能存在一些偶然因素，被调查对象关于自身生活习惯的报告也可能不准确。关于各种因素对青少年体重的影响，需要更多的研究确认。
Children overweight and obesity may last to adulthood. 55% and 75% of overweight from 6 to 11 and from 12 to 17 respectively can last to adulthood. Obesity from childhood to adulthood reciprocally influences with cardiovascular diseases and non-infectious diseases， which will further aggravate obesity.
