Prevalence of pre-clinical and clinical obesity in adults: Pooled analysis of 56 population-based national health surveys
Obesity is commonly defined using body mass index (BMI), but BMI alone does not capture the metabolic and functional consequences of excess weight. We examined the prevalence of clinical obesity, a new definition that incorporates BMI alongside metabolic and functional impairments. We analyzed nationally representative surveys. Clinical obesity was defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 and waist-to-height ratio ≥0.5 or BMI ≥ 40 kg/m 2 with at least: self-re…
Consumption of fruits and vegetables among Peruvian adults: Analysis of a national health survey 2017–2018
The WHO recommends consuming ≥400 g/day of fruits and vegetables daily as part of a healthy diet to prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Data on fruits and vegetables intake is scarce in several countries, including Peru. However, it remains crucial to monitor policies to reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases. Cross-sectional analysis of a representative at the national level survey of Peruvian adults conducted in 2017–2018. Consump…
Pre-pregnancy and gestational cardiometabolic disorders and risk of preterm birth and infant mortality
Background: Cardiometabolic disorders (CMDs) are common in pregnancy and can harm the offspring's health. While prior studies have explored clustered cardiometabolic risks in pregnancy, most have focused on a limited number of conditions or a single period. We aimed to examine the associations of individual, multiple, and separate and combined patterns of six pre-pregnancy and gestational CMDs with preterm birth and infant mortality. Methods: Usi…
Multiple Social Demographics and Disparities in Smoking Cessation During Pregnancy in the United States, 2016–2022: An Intersectional Analytic Framework
Objectives. To examine how multiple social demographics shape disparities in smoking cessation during pregnancy in an intersectional analytic framework. Methods. We analyzed US National Vital Statistics System (2016–2022) data on 588 435 primiparous women with prepregnancy smoking. We constructed 192 intersectional strata to represent contexts defined by race/ethnicity, education, marital status, insurance status, and immigration status. We condu…
Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: A pooled analysis of 3663 population-representative studies with 222 million children, adolescents, and adults
BACKGROUND: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. METHODS: ). For school-aged children and adolescents, we report thinness (BMI 2 SD above the median). FINDINGS: From 1990 to 20…
Trends in body mass index for people with and without HIV: Pooled analysis of nationally-representative health surveys from 10 countries and 173,800 adults in Africa
It remains unclear if and how body mass index (BMI) levels have changed over time in HIV endemic regions. We described trends in mean BMI and prevalence of overweight between 2003–2019 in 10 countries in Africa including people living with (PLWH) and without (PLWoH) HIV. We pooled Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) from countries where ≥2 surveys >4 years apart were available with height/weight measurements and HIV tests. HIV status was ascerta…
Data for population-based health analytics: The Cohorts Consortium of Latin America and the Caribbean
Data pooling projects are less expensive than collecting new data, and they increase the longer-term value and impact of the data that are contributed. Data pooling efforts require systematic and transparent methodology, and expertise in data handling and analytics are prerequisites. Researchers embarking on a data pooling endeavor should understand and be able to meet the various data protection standards stipulated by national data legislation …
Estimating the prevalence, factors, and conditions associated with Parkinson disease: A population-based study in Peru
This study aimed to estimate the population-based Parkinson disease prevalence, and to explore potentially associated factors and conditions. A population-based survey was conducted in Northern Peru. Symptoms compatible with Parkinson's were defined using a validated Spanish questionnaire (≥ 42 points suggest Parkinson's). Potential factors (e.g., age, sex, etc.) and clinical conditions (e.g., depressive symptoms, perceived stress, etc.) associat…

BACKGROUND: Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which measures weight gain beyond what is expected from height gain, for school-aged children and adolescents. METHODS: For this pooled analysis, we used a database of cardiometabolic risk factors collated by the Non-Communicable Disease …
Los retos del cuidado de las personas con diabetes durante el estado de emergencia nacional por la Covid-19 en Lima, Perú: Recomendaciones para la atención primaria
Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, who then become infected with SARS-CoV-2, are at greater risk of developing complications from COVID-19, which may even lead to death.

Associations with prevalence and incidence of hypertension, T2DM and high BMI were assessed using Poisson regression and generalised linear models, adjusted f…
Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global obesity epidemic in adults
Body-mass index (BMI) has increased steadily in most countries in parallel with a rise in the proportion of the population who live in cities 1,2 . This has led to a widely reported view that urbanization is one of the most important drivers of the global rise in obesity 3–6 . Here we use 2,009 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight in more than 112 million adults, to report national, regional and global trends in mean B…

The majority of websites in Spanish related to pregnancy symptoms have low quality. These findings indicate the need to properly educate patients and general public, and a critical evaluation of the information quality found at the Internet as well
Does physicians’ right to strike outweigh students’ right to an education? The on-going ethical dilemma in Peru
Although often viewed as an action of last resort, going on strike remains a legal and often effective option for physicians seeking labor improvements and better working conditions. Indeed, in some countries, there have been reports of strikes by physicians (1, 2), followed by ensuing discussions of potential ethical implications (35). However, little has been said about the consequences of such a mass labor stoppage on undergraduate medical edu…
