Validation of a BMI cut-off point to predict an adverse cardiometabolic profile with adiposity measurements by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in Guatemalan children
Objective To identify a body fat percentage (%BF) threshold related to an adverse cardiometabolic profile and its surrogate BMI cut-off point. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Two public schools in poor urban areas on the outskirts of Guatemala City. Subjects A convenience sample of ninety-three healthy, prepubertal, Ladino children (aged 7–12 years). Results Spearman correlations of cardiometabolic parameters were higher with %BF than with …

Formative research to develop a community-based intervention for chronic disease prevention in Guatemalan school-age children
These findings should help researchers in Guatemala and similar LMIC to develop community-based interventions for NCD prevention in school-age children that are effective, feasible, and culturally acceptable
Global Gender Disparities in Obesity
Trends and correlates in meat consumption patterns in the US adult population
Objective Few studies have examined recent shifts in meat consumption (MC), differences among US population groups, and the influence of psychosocial–behavioural factors. Design Nationally representative data collected for US adults aged ≥18 years in the 1988–1994 and 1999–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and the 1994–1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) and Diet and Health Knowledge Survey (…
The Modifying Effect of Social Class on the Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Breast Cancer Incidence
Objectives. We sought to determine whether social class modifies the effect of BMI on breast cancer incidence. Methods. Participants included 5642 postmenopausal White women recruited in 1989 to CLUE II, a prospective cohort study in Washington County, Maryland. We obtained exposure data from CLUE II and the 1990 US Census. We used survival and random-effects Cox proportional hazards analyses to determine the association of social class and BMI w…

Will All Americans Become Overweight or Obese? Estimating the Progression and Cost of the US Obesity Epidemic
We projected future prevalence and BMI distribution based on national survey data (National Health and Nutrition Examination Study) collected between 1970s and 2004. Future obesity‐related health‐care costs for adults were estimated using projected prevalence, Census population projections, and published national estimates of per capita excess health‐care costs of obesity/overweight. The objective was to illustrate potential burden of obesity pre…

An urban–rural comparison of the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in Eastern China
Objective To assess the impact of urbanisation on the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in Chinese adults. Design As part of a community-based cross-sectional survey conducted in 2002, a sample from rural and urban populations in East China was obtained. The metabolic syndrome is defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria (ATP III) and the modified ATP III, which recommended a lower waist circumfer…
Dietary intake and a food-frequency instrument to evaluate a nutrition intervention for the Apache in Arizona
Objective To demonstrate how dietary data collected from 24-hour dietary recalls were incorporated into the development of a quantitative food-frequency questionnaire (QFFQ) for the Apache in Arizona. Design A cross-sectional study was first conducted using 24-hour dietary recalls to identify foods for inclusion on a QFFQ that would be used to evaluate a nutrition intervention. Setting The White Mountain and San Carlos Apache reservations in East…
Obesity and related risk factors among low socio-economic status minority students in Chicago
Objectives To assess overweight and related risk factors among urban low socio-economic status (SES) African-American adolescents in an attempt to study the underlying causes of ethnicity and gender disparities in overweight. Methods Cross-sectional data collected on anthropometric measures, diet, physical activity and family characteristics from 498 students in grades 5–7 in four Chicago public schools were analysed to study the risk factors for…
Childhood Obesity
A Nutrition Paradox — Underweight and Obesity in Developing Countries
A few years ago, I was visiting a primary care clinic in the slums of São Paulo. The waiting room was full of mothers with thin, stunted young children, exhibiting the typical signs of chronic undernutrition. Their appearance, sadly, would surprise few who visit poor urban areas in the developing world. What might come as a surprise is that many of the mothers holding those undernourished infants were themselves overweight.The combination of unde…

Early nutrition and risk of disease in the adult
The differentiation of key metabolic systems that occurs during intrauterine life is greatly influenced by environmental nutritional conditions, which in turn are related to maternal nutritional status. In postnatal life, childhood exposure to slow-acting environmental factors, primarily through the diet, will begin to condition adult susceptibility to diseases. Examples of these dietary factors are intake of saturated fat, sodium, calcium, etc. …
