Analysis of nationally represented samples from 2 cross-sectional surveys conducted in 1991 and 2000, containing 5,086 and 6,400 Omani citizens aged >or=20 years. Body mass index (BMI) (weight in kg) divided by height (in meters squared) was calculated using measured height and weight data. Overweight was defined as BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2 and obesity as BMI >or= 30 kg/m2.
In the year 2000, the age adjusted prevalence of obesity reached 16.7% in men, compared to 10.5% in 1991 (p |

Body mass index (BMI) (weight in kg) divided by height (in meters squared) was calculated using measured height and weight data. Overweight was defined as BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2 and obesity as BMI >or= 30 kg/m2.
In the year 2000, the age adjusted prevalence of obesity reached 16.7% in men, compared to 10.5% in 1991 (p<0.001). In women, the prevalence was 23.8% in 2000, compared to 25.1% in 1991 (p=0.231). Similarly, the prevalence of overweight increased among men, from 28.8-32.1% (p=0.011) and decreased among women, from 29.5-27.3% (p=0.053). When obesity and overweight were combined, there was a significant increase in men (9.5%; p for the change <0.001) and decrease in women (3.5%; p for the change <0.003). Obesity and overweight combined was markedly more common in the Southern part of Oman (70%) compared to Northern areas (32-57%). People living in urban areas were more obese (21.1%) than those living in the rural communities (13.1%) (p<0.001).
The prevalence of obesity is high in Oman and has increased predominantly among men. Primary prevention programs are needed to counteract this condition and its cardiovascular and metabolic complications.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0379-5284</identifier><identifier>PMID: 15048174</identifier><identifier>CODEN: SAMJDI</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Riyadh: Saudi Medical Journal</publisher><subject>Adult ; Aged ; Aged, 80 and over ; Biological and medical sciences ; Body Mass Index ; Culture ; Female ; General aspects ; Humans ; Life Style ; Male ; Medical sciences ; Metabolic diseases ; Middle Aged ; Obesity ; Obesity - epidemiology ; Oman - epidemiology ; Prevalence ; Rural Population - statistics & numerical data ; Urban Population - statistics & numerical data</subject><ispartof>Saudi medical journal, 2004-03, Vol.25 (3), p.346-351</ispartof><rights>2004 INIST-CNRS</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,780,784</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttp://pascal-francis.inist.fr/vibad/index.php?action=getRecordDetail&idt=15582173$$DView record in Pascal Francis$$Hfree_for_read</backlink><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15048174$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>AL-LAWATI, Jawad A</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>JOUSILAHTI, Pekka J</creatorcontrib><title>Prevalence and 10-year secular trend of obesity in Oman</title><title>Saudi medical journal</title><addtitle>Saudi Med J</addtitle><description>To determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity by age, gender and region and to assess the difference between rural and urban populations and determine the trends of the past decade.
