Association Between Sub-National Regional Socioeconomic Status and Childhood Obesity in Five South-East European Countries
Future public health efforts should take into consideration regional differences in childhood obesity prevalence, and more targeted research is essential for understanding the mechanisms of resilience and vulnerability on a sub-national level
Trends in the Prevalence of Overweight, Obesity and Severe Obesity in Primary School Children in Croatia from 2003 to 2022
Background: Childhood obesity remains a significant public health challenge globally. Croatia ranks among the leading European countries in terms of childhood overweight and obesity prevalence. Methods: The present cross-sectional study analysed overweight and obesity prevalence trends from 2003 to 2022 on a nationally representative sample containing data from five studies, two independent studies and three WHO COSI rounds. Data from a total of …
Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022
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…
Linking infant size and early growth with maternal lifestyle and breastfeeding – the first year of life in the CRIBS cohort
Infant size and early growth in Croatia is in line with WHO standards and risk factors for obesity development were detectable in the first year of life, but not highly pronounced. However, more effective BMI monitoring and promotion of a healthy diet and lifestyle of women before and during pregnancy is needed
Substance Use, Internet Risk Behavior, and Depressive Symptoms as Predictors of Self-harm Thoughts in Adolescents
Walking Towards Health
This paper points out the health benefits of walking and the possibilities of implementing a public health initiative in the local community. Indications for the beneficial health effects of walking were established. Walking, as the basic form of movement and the most accessible physical activity, should be promoted in all population groups, regardless of age and gender. To encourage regular physical activity in leisure time, Croatian Institute o…
Testing the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations on maternal reproductive health and associated neonatal characteristics in a transitional, Mediterranean population
High maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and excessive GWG were both significantly associated with deviated biochemical parameters and neonatal size. More careful monitoring of maternal nutritional status can lead to better pre- and perinatal maternal healthcare
Worldwide trends in hypertension prevalence and progress in treatment and control from 1990 to 2019
BACKGROUND: Hypertension can be detected at the primary health-care level and low-cost treatments can effectively control hypertension. We aimed to measure the prevalence of hypertension and progress in its detection, treatment, and control from 1990 to 2019 for 200 countries and territories. METHODS: We used data from 1990 to 2019 on people aged 30-79 years from population-representative studies with measurement of blood pressure and data on blo…
Gender Differences in the Prediction of Alcohol Intoxication among Adolescents
BACKGROUND: Alcohol is one of the most commonly consumed substances in adolescence and can lead to many (mental) health problems. This study aimed to examine social determinants related to family, peers and school achievement as risk factors for alcohol intoxication (AI) among adolescents and to examine whether these risk factors differ in their prediction of AI concerning potential gender differences. METHODS: The data used in this study were ob…
Stress, locus of control, hope and depression as determinants of quality of life of pregnant women
The aims were to investigate determinants of the quality of life (QoL) of pregnant women. Total of 302 healthy women 18 to 28 weeks of gestation participated in prospective study. WHOQOL-bref, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scales, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and the perceived stress appraisals were administered. Various patterns of predictors for four domains of QoL were identified, for psychological (42% variance explained),…
Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories
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…
The CroHort Study
Based on repeated measurement of health behaviors the CroHort Study showed that health behavior explains a great deal more of class inequalities in mortality than observed in previous studies. These include decreasing prevalence of smoking and increase in obesity, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The lowest prevalence of health risks was recorded among children and adolescents, followed by general adult population from the CroHort Study. Hospi…
Five-year Cumulative Incidence of Obesity in Adults in Croatia
The objective of this paper was to evaluate the 5-year incidence of obesity on a sample of 3229 adults and investigate the potential effect of several sociodemographic and lifestyle habits on weight change and obesity incidence in these individuals. The average annual rate of increase in the prevalence of obese adults between 2003 and 2008 was 10.60% for men and 11.08% for women. Analysis showed that development of obesity in 5-year period in wom…
Association of BMI and nutritional habits with hypertension in the adult population of Croatia
Objective The purpose of the present study was to investigate the distribution of hypertension, its nutritional and other determinants and their association in Croatia. Design Population-based, cross-sectional study. Setting Croatia. Subjects Representative random sample of 9070 adults (18 years and older) from all Croatian regions, selected using multistage sampling. Results Overall prevalence of hypertension (arterial blood pressure ≥140/90 mmH…
