Evaluation of the international standardized 24-h dietary recall methodology (GloboDiet) for potential application in research and surveillance within African settings
BACKGROUND: Collection of reliable and comparable individual food consumption data is of primary importance to better understand, control and monitor malnutrition and its related comorbidities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including in Africa. The lack of standardised dietary tools and their related research support infrastructure remains a major obstacle to implement concerted and region-specific research and action plans worldwid…
Contribution to the development of a food guide in Benin
Objective Food guides are important tools for nutrition education. While developing a food guide in Benin, the objective was to determine the daily number of servings per food group and the portion sizes of common foods to be recommended. Design Linear programming (LP) was used to determine, for each predefined food group, the optimal number and size of servings of commonly consumed foods. Two types of constraints were introduced into the LP mode…
Partnership research on nutrition transition and chronic diseases in West Africa – trends, outcomes and impacts
BACKGROUND: Nutrition-related chronic diseases (NRCD) are rising quickly in developing countries, and the nutrition transition is a major contributor. Low-income countries have not been spared. Health issues related to nutritional deficiencies also persist, creating a double burden of malnutrition (DBM). There is still a major shortage of data on NRCD and DBM in Sub-Saharan Africa. A research program has been designed and conducted in partnership…
Obesity and cardio-metabolic risk factors in urban adults of Benin
Our data show that obesity and cardio-metabolic risk factors are highly prevalent among urban adults in Benin, which calls for urgent measures to avert the rise of diet-related chronic diseases. People with higher SES and those with a longer exposure to the urban environment are priority target groups for interventions focusing on environmental risk factors that are amenable to change in this population. Lifestyle interventions would appear appro…
Physical Activity and Socioeconomic Status Explain Rural-Urban Differences in Obesity
To explore the relationships between obesity, socioeconomic status (SES), and physical activity (PA), we conducted a study with 341 subjects of a medium-size city of Benin and its semi-rural outskirts. PA was appraised with 24-hour recalls and SES, with a questionnaire. The overall prevalence of obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30), abdominal obesity (waist circumference) and elevated percent of body fat (%BF) were 10.6%, 23.8% and 20.2%, respect…
