Child and adolescent obesity: Part of a bigger picture
The impact of economic, political and social globalization on overweight and obesity in the 56 low and middle income countries
A reappraisal of the quantitative relationship between sugar intake and dental caries: The need for new criteria for developing goals for sugar intake
There is a robust log-linear relationship of caries to sugar intakes from 0%E to 10%E sugar. A 10%E sugar intake induces a costly burden of caries. These findings imply that public health goals need to set sugar intakes ideally <3%E with <5%E as a pragmatic goal, even when fluoride is widely used. Adult as well as children's caries burdens should define the new criteria for developing goals for sugar intake
A new understanding of the relationship between sugars, dental caries and fluoride use: Implications for limits on sugars consumption
Objective To examine the quantitative relationship between sugar intake and the progressive development of dental caries. Design A critical in-depth review of international studies was conducted. Methods included reassessing relevant studies from the most recent systematic review on the relationship between levels of sugars and dental caries. Reanalysis of dose–response relationships between dietary sugars and caries incidence in teeth with diffe…
A new approach to compare the predictive power of metabolic syndrome defined by a joint interim statement versus its components for incident cardiovascular disease in Middle East Caucasian residents i…
In the Middle East population, MS did not provide CVD predictive risk information beyond its individual components; clinical focus should remain on hypertension in both sexes, high FPG in women and central adiposity in men rather than MS

A cluster of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, which occur together more often than by chance alone, have become known as the metabolic syndrome. The risk factors include raised blood pressure, dyslipidemia (raised triglycerides and lowered high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), raised fasting glucose, and central obesity. Various diagnostic criteria have been proposed by different organizations over the past d…
School food in Mexican children
Objective To establish the school eating habits of Mexican children, who are prone to obesity and later to high rates of adult chronic diseases. Design Questionnaires for students and parents with staff questionnaires and interviews. Setting Randomly sampled schools in a socio-economically representative district of Mexico City. Subjects Subjects were 1504 adolescents aged 10–19 years attending schools in Mexico City, 27 teachers and seven headma…
Obesity
Rethinking the “Diseases of Affluence” Paradigm: Global Patterns of Nutritional Risks in Relation to Economic Development
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases and their nutritional risk factors--including overweight and obesity, elevated blood pressure, and cholesterol--are among the leading causes of global mortality and morbidity, and have been predicted to rise with economic development. METHODS AND FINDINGS: We examined age-standardized mean population levels of body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol in relation to national income, …
Diabetes and hypertension increases in a society with abdominal obesity: Results of the Mexican National Health Survey 2000
Objectives To determine the prevalences of overweight, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HT) in the Mexican population and compare them with those of a previous Mexican urban survey and an American survey. Design A structured, randomised, nationally representative Mexican sample was compared with a 1993 Mexican urban survey and the US Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) of non-Hispanic Whites…
Socioeconomic determinants of health: The contribution of nutrition to inequalities in health
Social class differences in health are seen at all ages, with lower socioeconomic groups having greater incidence of premature and low birthweight babies, heart disease, stroke, and some cancers in adults. Risk factors including lack of breast feeding, smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, hypertension, and poor diet are clustered in the lower socioeconomic groups. The diet of the lower socioeconomic groups provides cheap energy from foods such …
