Secular and longitudinal trends in body composition: The Tromsø Study, 2001 to 2016
Abstract Objective Overweight, defined as excessive fat mass, is a long‐standing worldwide public health challenge. Traditional anthropometric measures used to identify overweight and obesity do not assess body composition. The aim of this study was to examine population trends in general and abdomi...

Trends in total fat and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) were analyzed by generalized estimation equation models in strata of sex and age groups. Results Total fat and VAT mass increased during 2001 to 2016, with a larger increase during 2007 to 2016 than from 2001 to 2007 and among the youngest age group (40‐49 years), particularly in women. Women had higher total fat mass than men, whereas men had higher VAT mass than women.
