“… 30 In Spain and China, there seems to be less risk of obesity among the better-educated. 26 , 31 As education could be a target of prevention strategies, further studies on the risk of developing obesity according to educational level are needed.…”

Obesity risk in rural, urban and rural-to-urban migrants: prospective results of the PERU MIGRANT study

Background Whilst migration and urbanization have been linked with higher obesity rates, especially in low-resource settings, prospective information about the magnitude of these effects is lacking. We estimated the risk of obesity and central obesity among rural subjects, rural-to-urban migrants, and urban subjects. Methods Prospective data from the PERU MIGRANT Study were analysed. Baseline data were collected in 2007-08 and participants re-contacted in 2012-13. At follow-up, outcomes were obesity and central obesity measured by body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. At baseline, the primary exposure was demographic group: rural, rural-to-urban migrant, and urban. Other exposures included an assets index and educational attainment. Cumulative incidence, incidence ratio (IR), and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for obesity and central obesity were estimated with Poisson regression models. Results At baseline, mean age (±SD) was 47.9 (±12.0) years, and 53.0% were females. Rural subjects comprised 20.2% of the total sample, while 59.7% were rural-to-urban migrants and 20.1% were urban dwellers. A total of 3,598 and 2,174 person-years were analysed for obesity and central obesity outcomes, respectively. At baseline, the prevalence of obesity and central obesity was 20.0% and 52.5%. In multivariable models, migrant and urban groups had an 8- to 9.5-fold higher IR of obesity compared to the rural group (IR migrants 8.19, 95% CI 2.72-24.67; IR urban 9.51, 95% CI 2.74-33.01). For central obesity, there was a higher IR only among the migrant group (IR 1.95; 95% CI 1.22-3.13). Assets index was associated with a higher IR of central obesity (IR top vs. bottom tertile 1.45, 95% CI 1.03-2.06). Conclusion Peruvian urban individuals and rural-to-urban migrants show a higher incidence of obesity compared to their rural counterparts. Given the ongoing urbanization occurring in middle-income countries, the rapid development of increased obesity risk by rural-to-urban migrants suggests that measures to reduce obesity should be a priority for this group.

“…As regard progression from overweight to obesity, we found that the incidence of obesity among overweight participants was slightly higher in women (18.9%) than in men (14.5%), and decreased with advancing age in both genders. In a Spanish study, the incidence of obesity among overweight individuals was twice as high, or greater, in women (29.9%) than in men (13.1%). In a US study, the incidence of obesity among overweight group was also higher in women (16%‐23%) than in men (12%‐13%) across all age groups, and appeared to decline with advancing age in women but not in men.…”

“…6,7 To formulate effective strategies for non-communicable disease prevention, it is important to identify groups with high risk of developing obesity using a longitudinal design. Several studies have shown longitudinal data on obesity among adults in Western countries, [8][9][10][11][12] the Middle East, 13 the West Indies 14 and China. 15 In Japan, a large, community-based prospective study presented a 10-year change in overweight and obesity, 16 based on self-reported anthropometric data.…”

“…Such gender-related difference was also reported by studies in Croatia (with the 5-year incidence of 8.7% and 20.4% in men and women, respectively)[ 30 ] and Southern Europe (with the incidence being 2 times more in women). [ 31 ] In contrast, the ATTICA study in Greece found the incidence of obesity to be higher in adults men over 18 years old compared to women. It also showed the overall 5-year incidence of obesity and overweight as 8% and 45.4%, respectively.…”

The cumulative incidence of conventional risk factors of cardiovascular disease and their population attributable risk in an Iranian population: The Isfahan Cohort Study

Background:Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in Iran. The present study evaluated the 7-year incidence of CVD risk factors among the participants of Isfahan cohort study (ICS).Materials and Methods:ICS was a longitudinal study on adults over 35 years of age from the urban and rural areas in three counties in central Iran. Data on clinical examination and blood measurements were collected in 2001. Subjects were followed and similar data were collected in 2007. Cumulative incidence was calculated through dividing new cases of each risk factor by the population free of that risk factor at baseline. Incidence proportion was determined for major CVD risk factors including hypertension (HTN), hypercholesterolemia (HC), hypertriglyceridemia (HTg), obesity, diabetes mellitus (DM), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and smoking.Results:A total number of 6323 adults free of CVDs were recruited. After 7 years of follow-up, 3283 individuals were re-evaluated in 2007. The participants’ age was 49.2 ± 10.3 years in 2001 (mean ± SD). The 7-year cumulative incidence of HTN, HC, HTg, overweight, obesity, DM, MetS, and smoking was 22.8%, 37.4%, 28.0%, 26.3%, 7.4%, 9.5%, 23.9%, and 5.9% in men and 22.2%, 55.4%, 33.5%, 35.0%, 18.8%, 11.3%, 36.1%, and 0.7% in women, respectively. Among those with overweight or obesity, 14.7% of men and 7.9% of women decreased their weight up to the normal level.Conclusions:The present study revealed a high incidence of CVD risk factors especially dyslipidemia, obesity, MetS and HTN. Therefore, the application of life-style modification interventions seems necessary.
