Analysis of obesity prevalence and trend prediction among professional women in a hospital from 2010 to 2024: a weight management perspective.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTo analyze the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and central obesity among 248,147 professional women in Shanghai from 2010 to 2024 and predict their trends up to 2035, providing a data support for the local implementation of the Weight Management Annual Plan.
methodsWe collated physical examination data from 248,147 female participants aged 20-59 years who underwent examinations at the Shanghai Health and Medical Center between 2010 and 2024. Overweight and obesity were determined based on body mass index (BMI), while central obesity was diagnosed using waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-height ratio (WHtR) as reference values. The JoinPoint regression model was employed to calculate the average annual percent change (AAPC) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). The Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was used to predict the development trends of these indicators from 2025 to 2035.
resultsAmong the 248,147 female examinees, the prevalence of overweight was 22.58% (56,027 cases), obesity was 5.34% (13,257 cases), and central obesity was 27.16% (67,387 cases). From 2010 to 2024, the prevalence of overweight (AAPC = 0.79; 95%CI: 0.06 to 1.54; P < 0.05)) and obesity (AAPC = 4.63%; 95%CI: 4.05 to 5.37; P < 0.05) increased annually; the prevalence of central obesity peaked at 29.94% in 2013 and exhibited a fluctuating trend (AAPC = -2.02; 95%CI: -15.38 to 1.83; P > 0.05). Comparative analysis among age subgroups revealed a highly significant upward trend in the rates of overweight, obesity, and central obesity with increasing age (all P < 0.05). The forecast results indicated that the prevalence of obesity would increase by 2.69% annually, reaching 9.14%(95% CI: 7.12 to 11.16; P < 0.05) by 2035.
conclusionProfessional women should strengthen weight management, with employers facilitating health education, providing preferential medical insurance policies, improving the monitoring system, and implementing targeted interventions to control the obesity trend.
