“…Thus children of higher socioeconomic standing are nutritionally better, contribute more towards societal development and spend better quality life. The results have been validated by earlier findings 53,54 which showed that higher education and income were associated with a greater consumption of good quality foods, decreased consumption of energy dense foods and reduced risk of overweight and obesity. Gaps found in the educational and professional levels of the parents of adolescents attending public and private schools need to be plugged in through socio-economic development programs by investing more in social sectors i.e., education, nutrition, health, safe and clean drinking water, hygiene and sanitation and safety nets to combat food insecurity and poverty.…”

A comparative study was undertaken to assess the nutritional status, dietary practices and physical activities of school going adolescents in public and private schools (PPSs) of Karachi, Pakistan. A sample of 101 boys and 100 girls from PPSs was randomly selected for their weight, height, waist and hip circumferences, percent body fat and lean body mass measurements. Adolescent boys and girls were interviewed for their dietary practices, socio-economic status, frequency and type of physical activities and their responses were recorded. Results by gender and school type revealed that both the boys and girls of private schools had a significantly lower mean age but significantly higher mean height-for-age Z-score, waist and hip circumferences than the public school adolescents. Food frequency results revealed that the frequency and patterns of breakfast, break-time snack, lunch and dinner of private school going adolescents were more diverse and nutritiously rich. Skipping breakfast was more common among adolescents being higher in girls than boys. Parents of adolescents belonging to private schools had a higher education and socio-economic status. Private school adolescents were physically more active (p<0.05) in terms of frequency and type of physical activities. The study concludes that the adolescents of private schools had a better nutritional status, consumed food and beverages of better quality and were physically more active. However, boys and girls of both the public and private schools failed to meet the national and international dietary guidelines of recommended food servings.

“…Unlikely the mentioned studies and confirming the data found in the RFB 2008-2009 (16) and in the present study, other researchers have found higher prevalence of excess weight in males (19)(20)(21) . Regarding the prevalence of central obesity found, 84.0%, it was superior to those of other national surveys (19)(20) and international (20,21) . In these, as well as in the present study, women showed a higher prevalence of central obesity compared to men and a significant linear tendency as their age increase.…”

Objective: To identify factors associated with type 2 diabetes (DM2) in users of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in the city of Itapipoca, Ceará (Brazil). Methods: A transversal study, conducted during the period from March/2009 to October/2010, in 11 basic health units, in which sociodemographic and clinical data were collected from a sample of 419 users of these units. Results: Among the study participants, 250 (59.7%) were overweight, 352 (84.0%) had central obesity, 349 (83.3%) were sedentary, and 225 (53.7%) did not eat fruits and/or vegetables daily. There was a statistically significant association between central obesity and gender variables (p <0.001), age (p = 0.001) and marital status (p <0.001), and between nutrition research and education (p = 0.033) and socioeconomic status (p = 0.007). Conclusion: Because modifiable risk factors for DM2 were identified with a higher prevalence, we suggest the development of educational interventions for changes in the lifestyles of individuals and systematic monitoring of these changes, with the objective of reducing or delaying the onset of the disease. Keywords: Risk factors; Diabetes mellitus, type 2; Public health nursing; Family health RESUMO Objetivo: Identificar os fatores associados ao Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) em usuários da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) da cidade de Itapipoca-Ceará. Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado no período de março/2009 a outubro/2010, em 11 unidades básicas de saúde, nas quais foram coletados dados sociodemográficos e clínicos de amostra de 419 usuários dessas unidades. Resultados: Entre os participantes do estudo, 250 (59,7%) estavam com excesso de peso, 352 (84,0%) com obesidade central, 349 (83,3%) eram sedentários e 225 (53,7%) não comiam frutas e/ou verduras diariamente. Houve associação estatisticamente significante entre as variáveis obesidade central e sexo (p<0,001), idade (p=0,001) e estado civil (p<0,001); e entre investigação nutricional e escolaridade (p=0,033) e classe econômica (p=0,007). Conclusão: Diante dos fatores de risco modificáveis para DM2 identificados com maior prevalência sugere-se o desenvolvimento de intervenções educativas para mudanças no estilo de vida dos indivíduos e o acompanhamento sistemático dessas mudanças, objetivando reduzir ou retardar o aparecimento da doença.

“…Regarding the confounding variable occupational status, men with high intakes of fresh cheese and non-workers (currently in school, unemployed, disabled or retired or who did not work) seemed to be protected against overweight compared with those in work. Other authors, however, have found negative associations between occupational status and Ov/Ob in men (Vernay et al, 2009). Along similar lines, women with high intakes of processed cheese and unemployed, disabled, retired or not working are more likely to be Ob compared with those in work, in the present study.…”
