Change of individual BMI in Switzerland and the USA: a multilevel model for growth

Oliver Lipps () and Florence Moreau-Gruet

International Journal of Public Health, 2010, vol. 55, issue 4, 299-306

Abstract: Etant donné le niveau d’IMC nettement plus élevé aux USA, particulièrement dans les cohortes les plus jeunes, ces résultats indiquent qu’il faut s’attendre à des problèmes sévères d’obésité dans la population des USA dans un futur proche. Une corrélation positive entre l’IMC individuel et l’accroissement pourrait aggraver ce fait. Copyright Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel/Switzerland 2010
