“…It was higher in females than males. This finding was similar to the previous studies on Nigerian university students (Ayodele et al, 2009;Aliyu et al, 2014;Odili et al, 2014;Oladoyinbo & Ekerette, 2015;Attah et al, 2016;Ukegbu et al, 2017;Eze & Kadiri, 2020), Africa (Mogre et al, 2014a;Mogre et al, 2014b;Moussa et al, 2016, Niba et al, 2017 and other continent (Davar, 2015). It was contrary to the findings of some other studies in Nigeria (Nwachukwu et al, 2010;Olusanya & Omotayo, 2011;Nmor et al, 2014;Ukegbu et al, 2017), Asia (Gan et al, 2011;Hujova, 2013;Kutty et al, 2015;Ren et al, 2015;Irfan, 2018), America (Moretti et al, 2014;Obesidade & Obesidad, 2017;Deng et al, 2017) and Europe (Sofia et al, 2015) where general obesity was higher in males than females.…”

“…The prevalence of general overweight and obesity measured by BMI was below one fifth, this was in line with other studies in Nigeria (Ayodele et al, 2009;Olusanya & Omotayo, 2011;Olufemi & Abiodun, 2013;Nmor et al, 2014;Odili et al, 2014;Bagi et al, 2017;Ukegbu et al, 2017;Maduka et al, 2017) and other African countries (Kolawole et al, 2017;Deng et al, 2017) and Asia (Kutty et al, 2015;Ren et al, 2015;Irfan, 2018). It was lower than other Nigerian studies which ranged from 20% to 60% (Adesola et al, 2014;Oladoyinbo & Ekerette, 2015;Agwu et al, 2017;The GBD 2015Obesity Collaborators, 2017Sedodo et al, 2020;Kayode & Alabi, 2020) and other countries in Africa (Moussa et al, 2016;Niba et al, 2017), Asia (Davar, 2015), America (Katuka et al, 2016;Deng et al, 2017) and Europe (Sofia et al, 2015). The findings of Alhaj & Alqubaty (2020) among private university students in Yemen show a higher prevalence.…”

“…Previous studies on students of higher institutions across Nigeria reveal high prevalence of overweight ranging from 4% to 40% and obesity was between 2.7% and 18% (Oghagbon et al, 2009;Ayodele et al, 2009;Aliyu et al, 2014;Oladoyinbo & Ekerette, 2015;Ukegbu et al, 2015;Attah et al, 2016;Agwu et al, 2017;Maduka et al, 2017;Okafor et al, 2018;Obasi et al, 2019). The highest prevalence of overweight was recorded in the Eastern part (Okafor et al, 2018) while the least was in the Northern part (Aliyu et al, 2014) of the country.…”

“…The highest prevalence of overweight was recorded in the Eastern part (Okafor et al, 2018) while the least was in the Northern part (Aliyu et al, 2014) of the country. The highest and lowest prevalence of obesity on the other hand was recorded in the Western Nigeria (Olusanya & Omotayo, 2011;Olufemi & Abiodun, 2013;Oladoyinbo & Ekerette, 2015). Recent studies on university students still showed high prevalence of overweight and obesity.…”

Overweight and obesity is a risk factor to chronic non-communicable diseases. This study assessed level of overweight/obesity and blood pressure among students of a higher institution in Southwest Nigeria. This cross-section study involved 300 students of a public higher institution in Ado-Ekiti, Southwest, Nigeria. A validated self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on personal characteristics, feeding pattern and lifestyle of the students. Body Mass Index (BMI) was categorized into normal weight (BMI<25) and overweight/obesity (BMI ≥ 25). Waist circumference and waist-hip-ratio (WHR) were classified as normal and at risk. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 90 mmHg. Chi square test was used to establish relationship between variables at 5% level of significance. The mean age of the students was 22.25 years and 62.8% were above 20years. Monthly allowanceless than ₦30000.00 was received by 64.4% of the students, 47.3% skipped breakfast meal, 96% consumed carbonated soft drinks and 37.1% did not engaged in physical exercise. Prevalence of general obesity was 17.1% (BMI≥25); 7% and 15.5% were at risk of abdominal and central obesity respectively. Students in systolic pre-hypertension and stage I hypertension were 33.3% and 3% respectively whereas 15.5% and 2.4% were in diastolic pre-hypertension and stage I hypertension respectively. Female gender, monthly allowance less than ₦30000.00 and adolescent stage were associated with obesity. Older age, male gender and monthly allowance less than ₦30000.00 were associated with BP. Nutrition education is recommended for this population group.

“…[5] Coexistence of both under- as well as overnutrition occurring simultaneously within a population is referred to as double burden of malnutrition. [6] Nowadays, double burden of malnutrition is an emerging public health problem resulting as a consequence of nutritional transition. [7] On one side, undernourished adolescents are likely to face short stature with diminished immunity, while on other side overweight and obese adolescents are at higher risk for developing noncommunicable diseases.…”

Context:Double burden of malnutrition comprising both undernutrition and overnutrition is nowadays emerging as a major public health concern among adolescent girls in India.Aim:The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of underweight, overweight, and obesity among school-going adolescent girls along with dietary and physical activity-related factors associated with them.Settings and Design:The present cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2400 school-going adolescent girls (10–19 years) in Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh.Subjects and Methods:Multistage sampling technique was used for enrolment of the study subjects. Data were collected on sociodemographic profile, physical activity, dietary intake, and anthropometry. WHO body mass index (BMI)-for-age cutoff classification of girls was used for assessment of underweight, overweight, and obesity.Statistical Analysis Used:Statistical analysis was done with the Epi Info software. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to ascertain various predictors of underweight, overweight, and obesity among adolescent females (P < 0.05 was considered as significant).Results:The proportion of underweight, overweight, and obese students were 47.0%, 5.9%, and 2.7%, respectively. The girls in mid and late adolescent age group were significantly less susceptible for being underweight for age (odds ratio [OR] 0.28; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.22–0.36; P = 0.00). The girls belonging to middle and upper socioeconomic strata were about 35 times more susceptible toward obesity (OR 35.12; 95% CI 13.33–92.49; P = 0.00) and 12 times more susceptible toward being overweight (OR 12.46; 95% CI 13.33–92.49; P = 0.00) as compared to those in lower income groups. The probability of overweight and obesity were about 3 times (OR 3.13; 95% CI 1.76–5.55; P = 0.00) and 10 times (OR 9.66; 95% CI 4.00–23.35; P = 0.00) higher among adolescent girls who reside in urban areas as compared to rural one. Apart from these, non-Hindu religion, nuclear type of family, parent's education profile of middle school and above, and engagement in physical activities more than 2 h a day were other factors found to be directly associated with increased chances of overweight/obesity (OR > 1; P < 0.05).Conclusions:The high prevalence of the double burden of malnutrition revealed the need of the hour to modify and strengthen the existing adolescent health programs of India so as to deal with both the facets of nutrition spectrum substantially.

Background: Double burden of malnutrition (DBM) is the co-existence of overweight/obesity and undernutrition. Rising prevalence rates of childhood overweight/obesity in Nigeria have been reported, whilst undernutrition continues to be prevalent. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and distribution of underweight, stunting, thinness, overweight/obesity, and DBM among school-aged children and adolescents in two Nigerian States. Methods: This was a community-based cross-sectional study carried out in Osun and Gombe States. A total of 1,200 children aged 6 – 19 years were recruited using multi-stage sampling technique. Weight, height and data on demographic, socio-economic, household/family characteristics of the children were collected using structured interviewer administered questionnaires. Nutritional status was calculated using the WHO 2007 reference values using BMI-for-age (thinness, overweight/obesity), height-for-age (stunting) and weight-for-age (underweight). DBM was described at the population and individual levels. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 11.6 ± 3.8 years. The overall prevalence rate of stunting was 34.9%, underweight was 13.5%, thinness was 10.3% and overweight/obese was 11.4% and 4.0% had individual level DBM, which typifies the DBM at individual and population levels. These rates differed significantly across demographic, socio-economic and household/family characteristics (p < 0.05). Gombe State, which is in the Northern part of Nigeria, had significantly higher burden of stunted, underweight and thin children than Osun State, while Osun State, in the Southern part of Nigeria, had a significantly higher burden of overweight/obesity. Conclusions: The study found evidence of DBM both at population and individual levels. The overall prevalence rates of stunting, underweight, thinness and overweight/obesity in this study were high, and they differed significantly across the demographic, socio-economic and household/family characteristics. There is the need for government and all other stakeholders to design nutritional educational programmes that will target both under- and over-nutrition among older children in the different contexts.
