“…This shows a high burden of unapparent illness related to central obesity which increases the risk of a consequent problem. The prevalence of central obesity reported in this study was higher than the results of the study conducted in Ethiopia, like northwest Gondar, 15 Addis Ababa, 16 Dila, 17 Mekelle, 18 India, 46 Eastern Sudan, 47 Tanzania, 48 Uganda, 49 West Africa, 50 southeastern Nigeria 51 Spain, 52 South China, 53 and North China. 54 This finding is in line with a study done in Northwestern Iran, 55 the possible justification for these discrepancies might be attributed to the sociodemographic difference of the study population.…”

“…Of these variables, age, sex, marital status, Alcohol Consumption, watching television, and physical activities were statistically significant in multivariate analysis at p <0.05 ( Table 2 ). The results of multivariable logistic regression analysis:- age above 45 years, were 3.75 times more likely to be centrally obese than those younger 18–29 age [AOR=3.75, 95% CI (1.86,7.55)], female participants were 2.52 times more likely to be centrally obese than males [AOR=2.52, 95% CI (1.62, 3.94)], participants who consumed alcohol are 2.61 times more likely to be centrally obese than who do not consume alcohol [(AOR=2.61,95% CI (1.68, 4.05)]. Marital status, being married were 2.07 times more likely to develop centrally obese as compared to single [(AOR=2.07,95% CI (1.23, 3.49), Physically inactive individuals were 2.05 times more likely to have central obesity than physically active [AOR=2.05,95% CI (1.23, 3.42)].…”

Background Central obesity (CO) is a medical problem in which extra fat is accumulated in the abdomen and stomach extent that it may harm health. Furthermore, previous studies in Ethiopia predominantly relied on body mass index used to measure obesity and do not show distribution of fat. However, there is a paucity of information on the measurement of central obesity using waist circumference and associated factors in Ethiopia particularly in the study area. Hence, the purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of central obesity and associated factors among urban adults in Dire Dawa, administrative city, Eastern Ethiopia. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 633 adults in selected kebeles of administrative city from October 15 to November 15, 2020. A multistage and systematic sampling procedure was used to select study participants. Central obesity is defined as a condition with waist circumference ≥83.7 cm for men and ≥78 cm for women with or without general obesity (GO). Odds ratio along with 95% confidence interval was estimated to identify factors associated with central obesity using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results The overall prevalence of central obesity was 76.1%; at 95% CI (73%, 80%). Associated factors of central obesity were age 45 years and above [AOR = 3.75, 95% CI (1.86, 7.55)], being female [AOR = 2.52, 95% CI: (1.62, 3.94)], alcohol consumption [AOR = 2.61, 95% CI: (1.69, 4.05], physical inactivity [AOR = 2.05, 95% CI: (1.23, 3.42)], and two hour and more time spent on watching television [AOR = 3.30, 95% CI: (1.59, 6.82)]. Conclusion The study shows central obesity was high in the study area. Age 45 years and above, being females, married, physically inactive, alcohol consumption, and spending a long time watching television was associated with central obesity. Having regular physical activity, limiting alcohol drinking, and limiting time spent watching television were recommended to prevent central obesity and associated risk among adults.

“…The prevalence of MetS was estimated based on the IDF and NCEP/ATPIII criteria among the Ethiopian population of various study subjects. Fourteen studies reported the prevalence of MetS based on both IDF and NCEP/ATPIII criteria [ 36 – 44 , 48 – 50 , 54 , 56 ], seven studies based on NCEP/ATPIII criteria only [ 57 – 63 ], and again seven studies by IDF criteria only [ 45 – 47 , 51 – 53 , 55 ]. Table 3 presents the characteristics and outcomes of the reviewed studies.…”

Background. The metabolic syndrome is a clustering of hyperglycemia/insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and stroke, and all-cause mortality. The burden of metabolic syndrome is emerging alarmingly in low- and middle-income countries such as Ethiopia; however, there is lack of comprehensive estimation. This study aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Ethiopia. Methods. This systematic review and meta-analysis included original articles of observational studies published in the English language. Searches were carried out in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Africa Journals from conception to August 2020. A random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Ethiopia. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. Subgroup analysis was also conducted based on sex/gender and study subjects. Egger’s test was used to assess publication bias. Results. Electronic and gray literature search retrieved 942 potentially relevant papers. After removing duplicates and screening with eligibility criteria, twenty-eight cross-sectional studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Ethiopia was found to be 34.89% (95% CI: 26.77, 43.01) and 27.92% (95% CI: 21.32, 34.51) by using NCEP/ATP III and IDF criteria, respectively. The weighted pooled prevalence of metabolic syndrome was higher in females 36.74% (95% CI: 20.72, 52.75) and 34.09% (95% CI: 26.68, 41.50) compared to males 22.22% (95% CI: 14.89, 29.56) and 24.82% (95% CI: 18.34, 31.31) by using IDF and NCEP/ATP III criteria, respectively. Subgroup analysis based on the study subjects using NCEP/ATP III showed that the weighted pooled prevalence was 63.78%(95% CI: 56.17, 71.40), 44.55% (95% CI: 30.71, 52.38), 23.09% (95% CI: 19.74, 26.45), 20.83% (95% CI: 18.64, 23.01), and 18.45% (95% CI: 13.89, 23.01) among type 2 diabetes patients, hypertensive patients, psychiatric patients, HIV patients on HAART, and working adults, respectively. The most frequent metabolic syndrome components were low HDL-C 51.0% (95% CI: 42.4, 59.7) and hypertriglyceridemia 39.7% (95% CI: 32.8, 46.6). Conclusions. The findings revealed an emerging high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Ethiopia. Therefore, early intervention is required for the primary prevention of the occurrence of metabolic syndrome and the further reduction of the morbidity and mortality related to it.
