Abstract

Object: Excess weight (Body Mass Index [BMI] ≥25.0 kg/m2 ) is a major health issue worldwide, including in Switzerland. For high-income countries, little attention has been paid to body height in context of excess weight. The aim of this study is to assess the importance of body height as a co-factor for excess weight in multiple large nationwide data sets. Data and methods: In this comparative study, we included the largest nationwide and population-based studies in the fields of public health, nutrition and economics for Switzerland
