“…A study of secondary school teachers' knowledge and practices regarding overweight prevention could provide more information to support our hypothesis. The prevalence of overweight was also higher than that reported among health workers in Parakou, in Benin in 2016 (24.1%) [4] and among traders in the Dantokpa market in Cotonou in 2019 [5].…”

Introduction: Overweight and obesity represent a public health problem in Africa due to the epidemiological transition. The objectives of this work were to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity and to identify associated factors among public secondary school teachers in Parakou, Benin in 2021. Methods: We conducted a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study. Teachers working in public secondary schools in Parakou during the 2020 -2021 academic year, present at work and who gave their written informed consent, were included. A two-stage random sampling was carried out. Data were collected during an individual interview using a questionnaire followed by the measurement of anthropometric parameters and blood pressure. Overweight and obesity were defined by a body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m². Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify associated factors. Results: A sample of 325 teachers, including 88.6% of men, was recruited with an average age of 36.2 ± 6.8 years. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 43.7% (95% CI [38.1% -44.8%]). It increased significantly with income (p < 0.001). Teachers suffering from diabetes (OR = 2.96 95% CI [1.23 -7.14]; p = 0.016) were at higher risk compared to others as well as teachers with abdominal obesity (OR = 5.82 95% CI [3.09 -10.95]; p < 0.001) compared to others. Conversely, the risk was lower among teachers working in two schools compared to a single school (OR = 0.52 95% CI [0.29 -0.94]; p = 0.030). Conclusion: The results show a high prevalence of overweight and obesity. Actions are necessary to prevent overweight and obesity among secondary school teachers in Parakou, in Benin.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is an important public health issue worldwide and the number of cervical cancer is increasing in Benin country. The study aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge and degree of participation of women with regard to screening, as well as the factors associated with it. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between August and September 2020. A sample of 474 women was selected by three-stage cluster sampling. The women selling in the Dantokpa market, aged 25 to 65 were interviewed. Results: The mean age of the women was 40.20 years±10.66. The mean score for knowledge level about cervical cancer was 3.01±2.77 and that for knowledge level about screening was 2.72±3.07. The family history of gynecological cancers (p<0.0001), the level of knowledge about cervical cancer (p<0.0001), and the level of knowledge about cancer screening (p<0.0001) were significantly associated with the practice of screening. Conclusion: In order to increase the use of cervical cancer screening by market women, it is necessary to carry out large information campaigns to improve the level of knowledge of women in the market on the disease development and benefice of screening.

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.
