“…The data-driven analysis depicts that overweight among Egyptian women is sharply increasing nationally and in all subgroups studied, and projected nearly all women to be overweight at 2030. The ever-increasing prevalence of overweight among these women is likely due to their common practice of consuming fast-fried foods, sugary beverages, low intake of fruits and vegetables, unemployment, lack of physical activity, and sedentary behaviour [35,36]. On the other hand, Sierra Leone is projected to control malnutrition among women in 2030.…”

Objective To examine trends and projections of underweight (Body Mass Index, BMI < 18.5 kg/m 2 ) and overweight (BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m 2 ) in women of reproductive age in 55 low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods We used data from 2,337,855 women aged 15-49 years from nationally representative Demographic and Health Survey conducted between 1990 and 2018. Bayesian linear regression analyses were performed. Results During 1990-2018, the prevalence of underweight decreased in 35 countries and overweight increased in 50 countries. The highest underweight increase was in Morocco (5.5%) and overweight in Nepal (12.4%). In 2030, >20% of women in eight LMICs will be underweight, with Madagascar (36.8%), Senegal (32.2%), and Burundi (29.2%) projected to experience the highest burden of underweight. Whereas >50% of women in 22 LMICs are projected to be overweight, with Egypt (94.7%), Jordan (75.0%), and Pakistan (74.1%) projected to have the highest burden of overweight. 24 LMICs are projected to experience the double burden of malnutrition (both underweight and overweight >20%) in 2030. Noticeable variations in underweight and overweight were observed across wealth, residence, education, and age of women, with a higher rate of overweight in high-income, high-education, and urban women. These inequalities have widened in many countries and are projected to continue. The probability of eradicating overweight and underweight is nearly 0% for all countries by 2030, except Egypt is on track to eradicate underweight. Conclusions Although the prevalence of underweight declined, this decline has been superseded by the dramatic increase of overweight. None of the 55 LMICs is likely to eradicate malnutrition in women by 2030.

“…According to several studies conducted, girls tend to have a higher risk of suffering from obesity than boys because female metabolism is slower than men, the basal metabolic rate of boys is 10% higher than girls. Due to this, women tend to convert more food into fat [25]. Obesity is not only caused by eating mostly in terms of carbohydrates, fats, or proteins but also because of a lack of physical activity [26].…”

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a common problem among adolescents. The incidence of obesity is related to daily living activities. AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between physical activity and obesity among adolescents. METHODS: This research was a cross-sectional study. The study was conducted in September 2017 until June 2018 at Junior High School in Medan, Indonesia. The sample of this study consisted of 114 adolescents with consecutive sampling. The study instruments measured four things in obesity indicators that are: Weight scales, microtoise for body height, body mass index, and physical activity questionnaire for older children. The value validity test value of content validity index 1. Cronbach’s alpha reliability tested to value 0.88. The data areanalyzed using the Chi-square statistical test. RESULTS: The result showed that the adolescents whodid a moderate physical activity as many as 71 respondents (62.30%), mild physical activity as many as 35 respondents (30.70%), and heavy physical activity as many as eightrespondents (7.00%). The incidence of obesity in this study showed that 80 (70.20%) of respondents were not qualified as obese and 34 (29.80%) respondents were obese. There was a correlation between physical activity and obesity among adolescents withp = 0.00 (p <0.05). CONCLUSION: It is concluded that the importanceof physical activityassessmentsby the students for the early detection of obesity risk in the future. In addition, it is need to provide health education to adolescents about the importance of daily physical activity with routine activities, such as exercises and sports.

Background: Obesity has become an epidemic problem affecting both developed and developing countries. Obesity among females is an independent risk factor for both maternal and non-communicable diseases. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of obesity and its associated risk factors among adult females. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on overweight and obese adult females attending Al-Salam family health center in Ismailia city (150 participants were randomly selected).The participants were interviewed using a structured questionnaire and their weight and height were measured to calculate the body mass index. Results: About three quarters (76%) of the study participants were overweight and obese. Among the risk factors, consumption of grains, smoking and eating while watching TV were significantly related to overweight and obesity, while hypertension and fatty liver were the most statistically significant comorbidities (P =0.025 and 0.004 respectively). Conclusion: The study has revealed the high percentage of overweight and obesity among adult females, which may have a negative effect on the maternal health. Factors that may be associated with overweight and obesity included dietary pattern, lifestyle behaviors, and obesity co-morbidities.
