“…These results are comparable to those recorded in other provinces of Morocco such as the South [15]. The North [33], In the region of Marrakech [29] as well as in the province of El-Jadida in the center [34] [35]. The data reported here do not reveal any significant association between severe abdominal obesity and age.…”

Obesity is characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat is in continuous increase associated with cardiovascular risks and health disadvantages. Objective: The aim was to the study the prevalence and the determining factors of the association of obesity and hypertension in the Moroccan population of Khouribga province hitherto unstudied. A cross-sectional survey was conducted oi 2019 among a random sample of 401 adults of both sexes, from urban and rural areas. Anthropometric parameters and blood pressure were measured. Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), were calculated, Socio-demographic characteristics and physical activity level are determined. Anthropometric variables are significantly different in women and men. General obesity (BMI>30) was prevalent in 33.1% and abdominal obesity in more than 75%. Both general and abdominal obesity do not show any significant difference between urban and rural areas of residence. Hypertension was present in 35.5% in both sexes, significantly higher in rural men (57%) compared to urbans. Obesity increases with sedentarity. Obesity and hypertension increase with age and manifest themselves beyond the age of 35. Women with more than three children are obese. The present study data show that body weight management is related to origin, age, number of children as parameters associated with obesity. The prevalence of hypertension is associated with severe obesity. Abdominal obesity could be a predictive parameter of hypertension in the Moroccan population of the study province.

“…On the one hand, it ensured answers to questions about this component of food practices since not all household members necessarily have this information, and on the other hand, it has made it possible to have a population where women and men are represented, thus promoting the study of food practices and nutritional status in both sexes. Indeed, in this type of study, there is a risk that the researcher will end up with an entirely female population since the preparation of meals is generally done by women [17,18,19].…”

Background. The use of validated and reliable methods and instruments is necessary to study dietary practices and nutritional status due to their direct impacts on population health. Objective. The aim is the validity and reliability of the conceptual and methodological framework of research on factors associated with dietary practices and nutritional status (FADPNS), carried out on adult population of the Rabat-Salé-Kenitra region in Morocco. Material and methods. First, we developed a conceptual and methodological framework for research on FADPNS, which aimed to study dietary practices, nutritional status, and the factors associated with them in an adult Moroccan population. Then, we studied the validity and reliability of this framework in three phases. Phase 1 focused on the validation of the content of the conceptual and methodological framework, Phase 2 focused on the study by an expert committee of the internal consistency validity (ICV) of the questionnaires used in this research , and Phase 3 consisted of the study of the reliability of the items questionnaires by the test of Cronbach Alpha. Results. Thus, the validated content of the conceptual framework of research on FADPNS includes socio-demographic, socio-economic, and socio-cultural characteristics; health status; physical activity, places of food purchase; food preparation, taking of meals, family commensality; social representations of good dietary practices; food consumption; and nutritional status. The questionnaires used in this research received an ICV score of 85%. The reliability test of the questionnaires showed a Cronbach Alpha value ≥ 0.5, which turned out to vary from "moderate" to "excellent". Conclusion. This work enabled the validation of the conceptual framework and the methodology of the study of the factors associated with dietary practices and nutritional status in the RSK region.

BACKGROUND: Knowledge of the determinants of the weight status of a population is important to be considered in actions aimed at improving public health. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to study the sociodemographic, nutritional and anthropometric factors associated with overweight and obesity in an adult Moroccan population. METHODS: This study focused on 507 adult subjects from the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region in Morocco, according to a validated conceptual and methodological framework. Sociodemographic data were collected using a questionnaire, physical activity (PA) was assessed by the Marshal questionnaire, dietary intakes were estimated by a “dietary history” type survey. Anthropometric parameters were also measured using impedancemetry and a tape measure. RESULTS: The majority of the study population was 20 to 29 years old, females, urban and had an medium socio-economic level (SEL). The population’s dietary intake was high in calories, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, sugars, and sodium; and low in vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, iron, calcium and zinc. Univariate analysis revealed that overweight and obesity are associated with the 30–39 yrs age group, average SEL, insufficient PA, high intakes of calories, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, as well as with high waist circumference and excessive body fat percentage. CONCLUSION: Factors associated with overweight and obesity were identified in the study population, revealing a coexistence of high intakes of energy and macronutrient and low intake of several micronutrients. The prevalence of deficiencies and excesses of these intakes testifys of a double burden of malnutrition in this population. The results are very relevant for guiding nutritional education actions among this population.
