The number of obese people in Sweden has doubled in the past 25 years, with one in 10 Swedes now considered largely overweight, a Statistics Sweden study showed.

　　瑞典国家统计部门3月6日对外公布的一份研究报告显示，该国肥胖人士的数量在过去25年里已经翻了一番，而目前共有十分之一的瑞典人被认为处于体重大幅超标的状态下。

　　Obesity is now as common among women as men, according to the report, which was published on Tuesday and studied Swedes' weight from 1980 until 2005.

　　据法新社3月7日报道，该报告专门研究了在1980年到2005年这段时间内瑞典人体重的变化情况，从中人们可以看出，眼下该国女性的肥胖程度已经变得其男同胞"旗鼓相当"了。

　　The problem has increased most among young women, non-labour workers and rural residents, though Swedes across all social groups registered weight gains during the period.

　　尽管在这25年中，全瑞典所有社会群体的体重均有所增加，但对于年轻女性、从事非体力劳动的上班族以及郊区居民来说，肥胖问题在他们身上表现得尤为突出。

　　Obesity, blamed on changes in diet and lifedtyles, has long been a problem in the United States and is on the rise in many European countries. In France, nine percent of people are considered obese, compared to 12 percent in Germany and 23 percent in Britain.

　　人们通常将造成肥胖的原因归咎于饮食结构及生活方式的改变，美国人长期以来一直深受这一问题的困扰，而它目前在很多欧洲国家内也已开始呈现日益上升之势。眼下有9%的法国人被认为体形肥胖，而德国人和英国人在这方面的比例分别为12%和23%。
