“…The AUC value is 0.87 and predictive accuracy is 93.84% as shown in Figure 8 and Table 5. Our predictive results are also indicating that it will increase in near future too, as the country is suffering from major factors such as a cultural shift towards developed-world, adapting junk diet items regularly, eating habits and lack of physical activity [56,61]. Reduction and control of BMI are significant in this obesity category because patients are more likely to birth other associated chronic diseases.…”

“…We have analyzed from our results and primary data set, prevalence of overweight is higher for age group of 55-64 i.e., 46.4 compare to other age groups. This is a crucial age because person is 60+ (old age) and needs to care for health seriously [56]. Otherwise, this inclination towards the increase in BMI could cause other relevant diseases too.…”

Obesity is the most common chronic disease, due to its ignorance in society. It gives birth to other diseases such as endocrine. The objective of this research is to analyze the different trends of each BMI category and predict its related serious consequences. Data mining based Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique has been applied for this and the accuracy of each BMI category has been calculated using Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC), which is an effective method and potentially applied to medical data sets. The Area Under Curve (AUC) of ROC and predictive accuracy have been calculated for each classified BMI category. Our analysis shows interesting results and it is found that BMI ≥ 25 has the highest AUC and Predictive accuracy compares to other BMI, which claims a good rank of performance. From our trends, it has been explored that at each BMI precaution is mandatory even if the BMI < 18.5 and at ideal BMI too. Development of effective awareness, early monitoring and interventions can prevent its harmful effects on health.

“…Based on the full-text assessment, 10 reports were further excluded as they were either review articles (1 report), only related to metabolic markers of obesity (1 report), obesity was a cause rather than an outcome (3 reports), the study population was not in healthy subjects (3 reports) or were unobtainable (2 reports). The remaining 12 reports were included in the present study for qualitative and systematic analysis (Al-Muhaimeed et al, 2015;Alshammari et al, 2017;Al-Agha et al, 2020a, 2020bAlturki et al, 2018;Al-Hazzaa & Albawardi, 2019;Amine & Samy, 1996;Al Amiri et al, 2015;Al-Taiar et al, 2018;Al Yazeedi et al, 2020;Fernandez-Luque et al, 2017) and are described in further detail below. With a maximum quality score of 5 and given the quality-score assessment criteria, a good score (≥4 points) was achieved in 25% of the studies (3 studies, 2 from Saudi Arabia and 1 from Kuwait); 50% of the studies were scored as being of fair quality (3 points including 3 studies from Saudi Arabia and 1 study from each of UAE, Kuwait and Oman) and 25% of the studies were scored as low quality (<3 points including 1 study from ach of Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar) (Table 1).…”

BACKGROUND: About one third of the population in the Arab Gulf States are overweight and obese. Among children and adolescents, however, the prevalence of obesity is at rates higher than those reported worldwide. OBJECTIVES: The present study aims to systematically review and evaluate factors related to and affecting childhood and adolescent overweight and obesity in the Arab Gulf States. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive and systematic search in PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE(R), Embase and Embase Classic to identify studies reporting on the risk factors of overweight and obesity in children and adolescent in the study region. RESULTS: We examined 22 studies and identified 12 reports to be included into this systematic review. The reviewed studies were from six Arab gulf States (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar) and examined 9,723 children. Approximately 30 different risk factors were identified from the selected studies. These were generally falling under six main risk factors including unhealthy eating habits, sedentary lifestyle, family-related factors, (particularly mother physical activities and food habits), child feeding practices during infancy, child sleeping pattern and low intake of or deficiency in micronutrients important for growth. CONCLUSION: This study further establishes several of the universal-and regional-specific risk factors that influence the increased prevalence of childhood and adolescent overweight and obesity in the Arab Gulf States. Consideration of these risk factors is critical for developing effective policies and practices that address this public health concern to curb and reverse the rise in its prevalence within the Gulf Region.

“…Over the past several decades, dietary patterns have shifted from eating home-cooked meals to eating out more frequently [2,3]. Eating away from home is linked to an increased consumption of ultra-processed food and beverage products with excessive calories, fat, and added sugars and sodium [4][5][6][7]. Cafeterias, fast-food restaurant chains, independent take-out-restaurants, and food retailers contribute substantially to the daily energy intake [8,9].…”

Effects of Menu Labeling Policies on Transnational Restaurant Chains to Promote a Healthy Diet: A Scoping Review to Inform Policy and Research

et al. 2020

There is insufficient evidence that restaurant menu labeling policies are cost-effective strategies to reduce obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Evidence suggests that menu labeling has a modest effect on calories purchased and consumed. No review has been published on the effect of menu labeling policies on transnational restaurant chains globally. This study conducted a two-step scoping review to map and describe the effect of restaurant menu labeling policies on menu reformulation. First, we identified national, state, and municipal menu labeling policies in countries from global databases. Second, we searched four databases (i.e., PubMed, CINHAL/EBSCO, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) for peer-reviewed studies and gray-literature sources in English and Spanish (2000–2020). Step 1 identified three voluntary and eight mandatory menu labeling policies primarily for energy disclosures for 11 upper-middle and high-income countries, but none for low- or middle-income countries. Step 2 identified 15 of 577 studies that met the inclusion criteria. The analysis showed reductions in energy for newly introduced menu items only in the United States. We suggest actions for governments, civil society organizations, and the restaurant businesses to develop, implement, and evaluate comprehensive menu labeling policies to determine whether these may reduce obesity and NCD risks worldwide.

Comparative evidence of the consumption from fast-food restaurants between normal-weight and obese Saudi schoolchildren

Abstract: Development of effective interventions to reduce fast-food consumption in Saudi Arabian schoolchildren requires greater research-based evidence of fast-food consumption habits and practices associated with increased childhood obesity.
