Abstract

Recent estimates suggest that 35.3 % of adult Australians are overweight and a further 27.5 % are obese. The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH) is a prospective study of women’s health that commenced in Australia in 1996. The study recruited approximately 40,000 women in three birth cohorts, 1973–1978, 1946–1951 and 1921–1926, who have since been followed up approximately every three years using self-report surveys. Six surveys have been completed to date. This review aims to describe the changes in weight and weight status over time in the three ALSWH cohorts, and to review and summarise the published findings to date relating to the determinants and health consequences of weight gain, overweight and obesity. Future plans for the ALSWH include on-going surveys for all cohorts, with a seventh survey in 2013–2015, and establishment of a new cohort of women born in 1990–1995, which is currently being recruited.

This paper is one of the first to document the actual weight change in young adult women over a ten year period from ages 18–23 to 28–33 years. The social and behavioural determinants of weight gain are also examined, and confirm that, while traditional 'energy balance' factors (e.g., dietary intake, physical activity and sitting time) are important, so too are social factors such as getting married and having a baby, which are shown to be major determinants of weight gain.PubMedCrossRef

Building on the work of Hill et al., this study confirms that the 'energy gap' underlying wieght gain in mid-age women is well below 100 Kcals /day. This means that relatively small changes in daily energy intake and expenditure should result in prevention of further weight gain.PubMedCrossRef
