B STOCKHOLM， Sweden (May 9,2021)— As every Western nation struggles with child obesity(肥胖 )， the Swedes are puzzled by an unusual blip(光點 ) in the data： Why are little girls more likely to be fat than little boys？ A recent study by researchers at Sweden’s Uppsala University showed that today’s 4173。year173。old girls were six times as likely to be obese pared to 20 years ago— a bigger jump than that among boys. “ This indicates that there is a relatively recent change in our lifestyle that is behind this， ”said Ulf Holmback ， the lead researcher for the study published in the April issue of Acta Paediatrica.“But it’s difficult to say what that is.” The weight increase itself was expected— Swedes， along with most other Europeans，have been getting heavier. But obesity experts are scratching their heads over the difference between boys and girls that emerges in obesity 1982， just 1 percent of all 4173。year173。olds were considered to be 2021,2 percent of the boys that age were obese，but 6 percent of the girls difference was similar for 10173。year173。olds. An analysis of children who are overweight— not obese— shows that the percentage of overweight 4173。year173。olds has roughly doubled to 20 percent for girls and 18 percent for boys during the same 20173。year period.(Generally， a child,42 inches tall， weighing 50 pounds would be considered obese； the same child weighing 45 pounds would be considered overweight.) “It’s hard to e up with a smart explanation for this ， ”said Carl173。Erik Flodmark， head of the child obesity center at Malmo University Hospital.“One biological explanation could be that boys are more active， and when the calorie load increases， maybe girls are more affected.” Holmback and other researchers hope to eventually sort out why Swedish girls are getting heavier than he and Flodmark said it is necessary to help girls who are obese because they suffer more under the pressure of modern beauty ideals. “It doesn’t matter as much for boys if they are obese ， ” Flodmark said. 60． What’s the main idea of the passage?
