Promoting healthy lifestyles in childhood: Can a social media campaign targeting parents and carers be a valuable tool
Social media can have a profound impact on population health and should be considered an important determinant of health. No published studies have assessed the potential of Social Media Campaigns (SMCs) as public health tools to address lifestyle behaviours in school-aged children. The aims of this study were to assess the performance of a health promotion SMC targeting parents and carers, compare its cost and reach with a print-based health com…
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…
Uptake and Adherence to National Guidelines on Postpartum Haemorrhage in Italy: The Movie before–after Observational Study
Translating evidence-based guidelines into clinical practice is a complex challenge. This observational study aimed to assess the adherence to the Italian national guidelines on postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) and describe the clinical management of haemorrhagic events in a selection of maternity units (MUs) in six Italian regions, between January 2019 and October 2020. A twofold study design was adopted: (i) a before-after observational study was u…
Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: A pooled analysis of 2181 population-based studies with 65 million p…
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 …
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…
Decline of childhood overweight and obesity in Italy from 2008 to 2016: Results from 5 rounds of the population-based surveillance system
From 2008 to 2016 a decrease of childhood overweight and obesity was observed in Italy. However, as these prevalences are still among the highest in Europe, there is need to continue their monitoring and implement more interventions to promote healthy lifestyles. More effort should be focused on children belonging to low social classes
Worldwide trends in body-mass index, underweight, overweight, and obesity from 1975 to 2016: A pooled analysis of 2416 population-based measurement studies in 128·9 million children, adolescents, and …
BACKGROUND: Underweight, overweight, and obesity in childhood and adolescence are associated with adverse health consequences throughout the life-course. Our aim was to estimate worldwide trends in mean body-mass index (BMI) and a comprehensive set of BMI categories that cover underweight to obesity in children and adolescents, and to compare trends with those of adults. METHODS: We pooled 2416 population-based studies with measurements of height…
Methods to estimate maternal mortality: A global perspective
The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is globally a reproductive health core indicator , and the death of a woman, while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, is always, anywhere and anyway, a tragedy for the entire community. Reducing the MMR is one of the Millennium Development Goals and the UN Global strategy for women's and children's health mobilised multiple resources and commitments to accelerate this objective.1 However MMR…
