  • Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022

    Open AccessNowell H Phelps, Rosie Singleton et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2024

    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…

  • Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories

    Open AccessAndrea Rodriguez-Martinez, Andrea Rodriguez‐Martinez et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2020

    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

    Open AccessNCD Risk Factor Collaboration, Honor Bixby et al.ARTICLENature2019

    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…

  • Prevalence of diabetes in Northern African countries

    Open AccessHabiba Ben Romdhane, Samir Ben Ali et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Through its capacity to provide the data on the burden of diabetes in the context of the epidemiological transition that North Africa is facing, this survey will not only be valuable source for health care planners in Tunisia, but will also serve as an important research for the study of diabetes in the region where data is scarce. In this context, NCDs emerge as an intersectoral challenge and their social determinants requiring social, food and …

  • Developing national obesity policy in middle-income countries

    Open AccessMichelle Holdsworth, Jalila El Ati et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2013Citada por: 1Referências: 14

    BACKGROUND: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is a rapidly growing threat to public health in both Morocco and Tunisia, where it is reaching similar proportions to high-income countries. Despite this, a national strategy for obesity does not exist in either country. The aim of this study was to explore the views of key stakeholders towards a range of policies to prevent obesity, and thus guide policy makers in their decision making on a na…

  • Blood pressure and associated factors in a North African adolescent population. a national cross-sectional study in Tunisia

    Open AccessHajer Aounallah-Skhiri, Hajer Aounallah‐Skhiri et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Within the limits of BP measurement on one visit only, these results suggest that Tunisian adolescents of both genders are likely not spared from early elevated BP. Though further assessment is likely needed, the strong association with overweight/obesity observed suggests that interventions aimed at changing lifestyles to reduce this main risk factor may also be appropriate for the prevention of elevated BP

  • Determinants of nutrition improvement in a large-scale urban project

    Open AccessAgnes Gartner, B Maire et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2006

    Determinants of benefit from CNP differed from the risk factors for underweight. Identification of participants with a lower probability of recovery can help improve outcome. Moreover, an explanation for the lack of recovery could be that many underweight children are stunted but not necessarily wasted

  • Knowledge of dietary and behaviour-related determinants of non-communicable disease in urban Senegalese women

    Open AccessMichelle Holdsworth, Francis Delpeuch et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2006

    Findings suggest reasonable overall knowledge concerning diet and behaviour with NCD, especially given the relatively new context of the obesity epidemic in Senegal. However, there was poor knowledge of the benefit of eating fruit and vegetables and other preventable causes of certain cancers. Education targeting the benefits of vegetables and fruit may have the greatest impact on NCD prevention
