“…Similar to previous studies [57–59], females had a higher overweight and obese prevalence than males while the reverse was true for underweight. This is different however to findings of previous studies in high income countries [60, 61] which showed a higher prevalence of overweight among adolescent boys compared to girls. In one of these studies, “obesity prevalence varied from 1.1% (Dutch and Danish girls) to 10.7% (Portuguese boys) and from 0.3% (Dutch girls) to 6.2% (Portuguese boys) respectively” [61].…”

BackgroundThe burden caused by the coexistence of obesity and underweight in Low and Middle Income Countries is a challenge to public health. While prevalence of underweight among youth has been well documented in these countries, overweight, obesity and their associated risk factors are not well understood unlike in high income countries.MethodsCross-sectional data from the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) conducted in seven African countries were used for this study. The survey used a clustered design to obtain a representative sample (n = 23496) from randomly selected schools. 53.6% of the sample was male, and participants ranged in age from 11-17 years old. Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated using age and sex adjusted self-reported heights and weights. Classification of weight status was based on the 2007 World Health Organization growth charts (BMI-for-age and sex). Multivariable Logistic Regression reporting Odds Ratios was used to assess potential risk factors on BMI, adjusting for age, sex, and country. Statistical analyses were performed with Stata with an alpha of 0.05 and reporting 95% confidence intervals.ResultsUnadjusted rates of being underweight varied from 12.6% (Egypt) to 31.9% (Djibouti), while being overweight ranged from 8.7% (Ghana) to 31.4% (Egypt). Obesity rates ranged from 0.6% (Benin) to 9.3% (Egypt). Females had a higher overweight prevalence for every age group in five of the countries, exceptions being Egypt and Malawi. Overall, being overweight was more prevalent among younger (≤12) adolescents and decreased with age. Males had a higher prevalence of being underweight than females for every country. There was a tendency for the prevalence of being underweight to increase starting in the early teens and decrease between ages 15 and 16. Most of the potential risk factors captured by the GSHS were not significantly associated with weight status.ConclusionsThe prevalence of both overweight and underweight was relatively high, demonstrating the existence of the double burden of malnutrition among adolescents in developing countries. Several factors were not associated with weight status suggesting the need to explore other potential risk factors for overweight and underweight, including genetic factors and socioeconomic status.

“…This finding is somewhat counter-intuitive and is significantly different from previous studies [34, 60] which have shown the opposite. However, one study [48] showed that frequent involvement in sports was not associated with a lower BMI in Egyptian youth.…”

“…The duration of recall time, collection techniques and quantification of food intake data were observed to differ to a large extent across different studies. Food frequency questionnaires are the most commonly used method of assessing dietary intake in schoolchildren and adolescents in developing countries [19,20,21,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48]. The use of single 24-hour recalls was also relatively common [5,7,13,42,49,50], while some studies used repeated 24-hour recalls [51,52,53,54,55,56].…”

Dietary Intake of Schoolchildren and Adolescents in Developing Countries

2014

School age and adolescence is a dynamic period of growth and development forming a strong foundation for good health and productive adult life. Appropriate dietary intake is critical for forming good eating habits and provides the much needed nutrients for growth, long-term health, cognition and educational achievements. A large proportion of the population globally is in the school age or adolescence, with more than three quarters of these groups living in developing countries. An up-to-date review and discussion of the dietary intake of schoolchildren and adolescents in developing countries is suitable to provide recent data on patterns of dietary intake, adequacy of nutrient intake and their implications for public health and nutrition issues of concern. This review is based on literature published from 2000 to 2014 on dietary intake of schoolchildren and adolescents aged 6-19 years. A total of 50 studies from 42 countries reporting on dietary intake of schoolchildren and adolescents were included. The dietary intake of schoolchildren and adolescents in developing countries is limited in diversity, mainly comprising plant-based food sources, but with limited intake of fruits and vegetables. There is a low energy intake and insufficient micronutrient intake. At the same time, the available data indicate an emerging trend of consumption of high-energy snacks and beverages, particularly in urban areas. The existence of a negative and positive energy balance in the same population points to the dual burden of malnutrition and highlights the emerging nutrition transition in developing countries. This observation is important for planning public health nutrition approaches that address the concerns of the two ends of the nutrition divide.

This systematic review is an update examining the relationships between objectively and subjectively measured sedentary behaviour and health indicators in children and youth aged 5-17 years. EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Medline were searched in December 2014, and date limits were imposed (≥February 2010). Included studies were peer-reviewed and met the a prioridetermined population (apparently healthy children and youth, mean age: 5-17 years), intervention (durations, patterns, and types of sedentary behaviours), comparator (various durations, patterns, and types of sedentary behaviours), and outcome (critical: body composition, metabolic syndrome/cardiovascular disease risk factors, behavioural conduct/pro-social behaviour, academic achievement; important: fitness, self-esteem) study criteria. Quality of evidence by outcome was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation framework. Due to heterogeneity, a narrative analysis was conducted. A total of 235 studies (194 unique samples) were included representing 1 657 064 unique participants from 71 different countries. Higher durations/frequencies of screen time and television (TV) viewing were associated with unfavourable body composition. Higher duration/frequency of TV viewing was also associated with higher clustered cardiometabolic risk scores. Higher durations of TV viewing and video game use were associated with unfavourable behavioural conduct/pro-social behaviour. Higher durations of reading and doing homework were associated with higher academic achievement. Higher duration of screen time was associated with lower fitness. Higher durations of screen time and computer use were associated with lower self-esteem. Evidence ranged from "very low" to "moderate" quality. Higher quality studies using reliable and valid sedentary behaviour measures should confirm this largely observational evidence.Key words: sitting, TV, screen time, body composition, fitness, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, self-esteem, pro-social behaviour, academic achievement. Résumé :Cette analyse documentaire systématique est une mise à jour de la relation entre la mesure objective/subjective des comportements sédentaires et les indicateurs de santé chez les enfants et les jeunes âgés de 5 à 17 ans. En décembre 2014, on cherche dans ASE, PsycINFO et Medline, mais on impose une limite de date (≥février 2010). Les études retenues sont sanctionnées par des pairs et sont conformes aux critères a priori déterminés dans l'étude : la population (des jeunes apparemment en bonne santé âgés de 5 à 17 ans), l'intervention (durée, habitudes et types de comportement sédentaire), la comparaison (durées variées, habitudes et types de comportement sédentaire) et le résultat (essentiel : composition corporelle, syndrome métabolique/ facteurs de risque de maladie cardiovasculaire, comportement/comportement prosocial, rendement scolaire; important : condition physique, estime de soi). La qualité des données probantes est évaluée pour chaque résultat pa...
