Popis: A representative cross section of 1,435 persons aged 15 years and over were interviewed. Forty-four percent were men and 56% were women. The sample comprised 0.094% of the civilian population of Vienna. According to Garrow and Webster (International journal of Obesity, 9, 147-153) the following grades for obesity, defined by ranges of the Body Mass Index (BMI=kg/m 2 ) were used: grade 1 25-29.9 kg/m 2 , grade II 30-40 kg/m 2 , grade III >40 kg/m 2 . Six hundred two (42%) were obese to some degree (BMI≥25kg/m 2 ). There were fewer women than men in the grade I obesity group (29.2% vs. 38.5%), but there were more women than men in the more serious grade II obesity group (9.2% vs. 7.8%)
