Introducton and objective. The nutrition transition results in malnutrition that exists in two aspects; undernutrition and overnutrition; facing both the health and development, and define today as the double burden. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status and growth in schoolchildren of Oran city.
Population and methods. Children (n = 835) (sex ratio G/B =...
INTRODUCTION:
Swaziland has the world's highest estimated HIV prevalence (26%) and TB incidence rate of 1,287 per 100,000 population with an 79% TB/HIV co-infection rate. Malnutrition in its different forms currently coexist in Swaziland as in many countries. However, literature on the burden of malnutrition among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) and on TB treatment in Swaziland is...
Introduction: Childhood under-nutrition remains a major public health problem in sub Saharan Africa. The emergence of overweight and obesity at the household level has been linked with the rising prevalence of childhood udder-nutrition. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of maternal overweight and obesity, childhood stunting, coexisting maternal overweight and obesity...
Childhood obesity is an emerging public health problem that requires effective prevention and treatment programs. The national prevalence of child overweight/obesity in Montenegro has increased by one third in the last decade. Several studies including antrophometric measurements has been performed during the last decade.
Montenegro joined COSI (Childhood Obesity Surveilance Initiative)...
Background: Substantial evidence is emerging on the coexistence of double burden of malnutrition on adolescents of low-income countries, shaping the health challenges of the upcoming adult generation for the worst. Whether nutritional status markers of adolescents in the cash crop setting are on par with economic gains remains uncertain. Thus, we investigated the nutritional outcomes of...
Background. Globally, the trend of overweight and obesity continues to rise, which causes significant consequences for the health and the economy of the countries, because this increases the risk of other non-communicable diseases in the adult population, also coexisting with a weight deficit, which is representative in the poorest countries. This problem is promoter of a double burden of...
Introduction: In the context of nutrition transition, the Middle East and North Africa region has experienced a dramatic rise in overweight and obesity, especially among women. At the same time, micronutrient deficiencies, like iron deficiency which women are also especially prone, persist. Thus, gender is considered as a major determinant of health inequalities. The aim of this study was then...
Background: Whereas deficiency in food intake has contributed to the under-nutrition problem, a lack of dietary diversity also has a demonstrated main role in increasing over-nutrition. Previous study demonstrated that obese people with metabolically unhealthy phenotype are more likely to get chronic disease and nutrient deficiency. So, we design current study to determine the nutritional...
Introduction
Although progress has been made in the past decade, the burden of child malnutrition remains high in many low- and middle-income countries. They continue to be affected by a high burden of undernutrition, whilst the rate of childhood overweight/obesity is increasing substantially. This study aimed to critically assess the multiple malnutrition burden in children under five...
Introduction: Coexistence of undernutrition along with increasing diet-related non-communicable diseases of a developing country is more crucial and it affects on health and economic status of the country. In urban sector, nutritional intervention of economically more vulnerable children from colonies as communities is imperative to improve the nutritional status while monitoring obese...
Pacific Island and Indian peoples represent extremes of obesity prevalence but both ethnic groups
have a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and related traits. For the same BMI they
have substantially different fat and fat free masses. We compared the body size, biochemistry and
blood pressure variables of Pacific and Indian adolescent boys and girls.
Despite their younger...
Introduction: The double burden of malnutrition has been reported in many Asian countries, where prevalence of overweight and obesity is rising rapidly while stunting and underweight remains a significant problem. However, data on body composition of children, especially that measured with stable isotope techniques, is scarce. Hence, this study aimed to report the prevalence of malnutrition...
Introduction: India is experiencing an emerging burden of overweight/obesity and other diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCD) alongside high burden of undernutrition in the context of multiple forms of inequities within the country. This paper aims to: 1) examine trends in underweight and overweight/obesity between 2006 and 2016; 2) assess the changes in socioeconomic (SES) inequalities...
