健康教育对人群体质指数的控制作用

目的　探索以社区为基础的健康教育和健康促进对人群的体质指数、超重或肥胖的影响。方法　于 1991～ 2 0 0 0年期间在北京、上海和长沙三城市各选取 10万社区人群 ,随机分为干预和对照社区各 5万人群。在干预社区开展多种形式的健康教育和健康促进活动 ,评价干预和对照两社区人群KAB水平和体质指数变化。结果　与 1992年基线调查相比 ,在三城市人群和不同目标人群的干预对对照组KAB水平、人群经常运动比率的净提高 ,在统计学上有显著性差异。对照组在全人群体质指数、超重率和肥胖率上升趋势高于干预组 ,其干预对对照组的净降低在统计学上有显著性差异。结论　健康教育和健康促进可有效控制人群体质指数的上升 ,对人群预防心脑血管病具有重要的意义。
