Background: Although there are many interventions targeting childhood obesity prevention, only few have demonstrated positive results. The current review aimed to gather and evaluate available school-based intervention studies with family involvement targeting dietary, physical activity and sedentary behaviors among primary schoolchildren and their families, in order to identify the most effective strategies. Methods: Studies published between 2000 and January 2015 were retrieved from scientific electronic databases and grey literature. The databases used included MEDLINE/PubMed, Web-of-Science, CINAHL and Scopus. Included studies had to be experimental controlled studies and had duration over 1 school year, had family involvement, combined PA and dietary behaviors and were implemented in school setting. A complementary search was executed to update the review to cover the period from February 2015 to January 2019.

Background: Feel4Diabetes was a large-scale, multicenter lifestyle intervention aiming to prevent type 2 diabetes among families from vulnerable population groups in six European countries

Bevezetés: A világszerte növekvő arányú elhízás Magyarországon is észlelhető, populációs előfordulásáról az első nagyszabású felmérés 1988-ban történt. Célkitűzés: A szerzők az eddigi legnagyobb esetszámú hazai elhízásprevalencia-vizsgálataik eredményeit mutatják be, amelyet háziorvosok és foglalkozás-egészségügyi orvosok részvételével bonyolítottak le. Módszer: A 18 év fölötti magyar lakosság 0,55%-ának, 43 287 fő (17 901 férfi és 25 386 nő) regisztrált adatait elemezték, országosan reprezentatív megoszlásban. Összehasonlították a korábbi hazai vizsgálatokkal, elemezték a testtömegindex, haskörfogat, iskolázottság, hypertonia és/vagy diabetes jelenléte és az életkor közötti kapcsolatot. Eredmények: Összességében férfiaknál a túlsúly 40%, az elhízás 32%-ban van jelen, míg nőknél mindkét kategória közel 32%-ban. A 18-34 év közötti életkori csoportban a férfiak 32,7%-a túlsúlyos, míg 18,2%-uk elhízott, 35-59 év között 40,1% és 34,4%, 60 év fölött 43,5%, illetve 38,8%. Ugyanezen korosztályi adatok nőknél: 19,6 és 15,7%, 36,8 és 38,7%, 36,5 és 39,7%. A testtömegindex-eloszlásokat és a hasi elhízás (férfiaknál >102 cm, nőknél >88 cm) adatait évtizedes életkori csoportokban és településtípusok szerint is bemutatják. A legnagyobb arányú túlsúly a felsőfokú végzettségű férfiaknál, a legtöbb elhízott a legalacsonyabb végzettségű nőknél volt. A testtömegindex szerinti és hasi elhízás a falvakban volt a legnagyobb arányú, különösen nőknél. A metabolikus betegségek jelenléte erősen korrelált a testtömegindexszel, és inverz módon az urbanizáció mértékével. Következtetések: Az elmúlt évtize-dekben a túlsúly és főleg az elhízás aránya jelentősen megnőtt, különösen látványosan férfiaknál, szembetűnően a fiatalabbaknál. Ez nemcsak orvosi, de komoly népegészségügyi és gazdasági problémát is jelent, kezelése össztársadal-mi figyelmet, a jelenleginél nagyobb szakmapolitikai támogatást igényel. Orv.

Trend and prevalence of overweight and obesity in Hungary, 2015Introduction: The prevalence of obesity is growing continuously worldwide, even in Hungary. Since 1988, when the first professional wide-range evaluation was performed, only limited data are available. Aim: Authors present the results of the ever largest Hungarian obesity-prevalence surveys, performed by family and occupational physicians. Method: Data from 0.55% of the population above 18 year were registered in all geographical regions of Hungary (43,287 persons; 17,901 males and 25,386 females), close to the proper national representativeness. Age, body mass index, waist circumference, educational level, presence of hypertension and/or diabetes were analyzed statistically and compared with previous data. Results: The overall prevalence rate of overweight and obesity among men was 40% and 32%, respectively, while overweight and obesity occurred in 32% of women. In the different age groups of men, the prevalence of overweight and obes...

BackgroundIn Hungary, the last wide-range evaluation about nutritional status of the population was completed in 1988. Since then, only limited data were available. Our aim was to collect, analyze and present updated prevalence data.MethodsAnthropometric, educational and morbidity data of persons above 18 y were registered in all geographical regions of Hungary, at primary care encounters and within community settings.ResultsData (BMI, waist circumference, educational level) of 40,331 individuals (16,544 men, 23,787 women) were analyzed. Overall prevalence for overweight was 40.4% among men, 31.3% among women, while for obesity 32.0% and 31.5%, respectively. Abdominal obesity was 37.1% in males, 60.9% in females. Among men, the prevalence of overweight-obesity was: under 35 y = 32.5%-16.2%, between 35-60 y = 40.6%-34.7%, over 60 y = 44.3%-36.7%. Among women, in the same age categories were: 17.8%-13.8%, 29.7%-29.0%, and 36.9%-39.0%. Data were presented according to age by decades as well. The highest odds ratio of overweight (OR: 1.079; 95% CI [1.026-1.135]) was registered by middle educational level, the lowest odds ratio of obesity (OR: 0.500; 95% CI [0.463-0.539]) by the highest educational level. The highest proportion of obese people lived in villages (35.4%) and in Budapest (28.9%). Distribution of overweighed persons were: Budapest (37.1%), other cities (35.8%), villages (33.8%). Registered metabolic morbidities were strongly correlated with BMIs and both were inversely related to the level of urbanization. Over the previous decades, there has been a shift in the distribution of population toward being overweight and moreover obese, it was most prominent among males, mainly in younger generation.ConclusionsEvaluation covered 0.53% of the total population over 18 y and could be very close to the proper national representativeness. The threat of obesity and related morbidities require higher public awareness and interventions.

Background: The implementation of population screening and early prevention strategies targeting individuals at high-risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) seems to be a public health priority. The current work aimed to describe the screening procedure applied in the Feel4Diabetes-study and examine its effectiveness in identifying individuals and families at high risk, primarily for T2D and secondarily for hypertension, among vulnerable populations in low to middle-income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs) across Europe. Methods: A two-stage screening procedure, using primary schools as the entry-point to the community, was applied in low socioeconomic status (SES) regions in LMICs (Bulgaria-Hungary), HICs (Belgium-Finland) and HICs under austerity measures (Greece-Spain). During the first-stage screening via the school-setting, a total of 20,501 parents (mothers and/or fathers) of schoolchildren from 11,396 families completed the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) questionnaire, while their children underwent anthropometric measurements in the school setting. Parents from the identified "high-risk families" (n = 4484) were invited to participate in the second-stage screening, including the measurement of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and blood pressure (BP). In total, 3153 parents participated in the second-stage screening (mean age 41.1 ± 5.6 years, 65.8% females). Results: Among parents who attended the second-stage screening, the prevalence of prediabetes (as defined by impaired fasting glucose; FPG 100-125 mg/dl) and T2D (FPG > 126 mg/dl) was 23.2 and 3.0% respectively, and it was found to be higher in the higher FINDRISC categories. The percentage of undiagnosed T2D among the participants identified with T2D was 53.5%. The prevalence of high normal BP (systolic BP 130-139 mmHg and/ or diastolic BP 85-89 mmHg) and hypertension (systolic BP ≥ 140 mmHg and/ or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg) was 14 and 18.6% respectively, which was also higher in the higher FINDRISC categories. The percentage of cases not receiving antihypertensive treatment among the participants identified with hypertension was 80.3%.
