“…This association was direct in men as shown in the SEM, but negative and indirect (acting through lifestyle and sociodemographic factors) in women (Figures 1 & 2). These results differ from Sagna and collaborators who concluded in their study in peripheral and central urban areas in Burkina Faso that increased obesity was associated with older age [22]. …”

“…In the STEPwise approach to Surveillance (STEPS), national survey for non-communicable diseases, it was reported that women were more overweight and obese than men [17]. Other studies in urban Burkina Faso or hospital (outpatients) settings reported that women were more overweight and obese than men [12,22–25]. In their study in four sub-Saharan countries (Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda) Ajayi et al also reported the gender difference in favour of women [11].…”

Background: The global health transition is linked with an increased burden of non-communicable diseases with cardiovascular diseases leading the epidemic. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the prevalence of obesity has increased during the past decades and there is a need to investigate the associated driving factors. In Burkina Faso obesity remains low, especially in rural areas. In this study we recruited middle-aged adults, as part of a larger study on genetic and environmental contributions to cardiometabolic disease among Africans. Objectives: To investigate the distribution of BMI and prevalence of obesity in a cross-sectional population-based study and to determine the sociodemographic and behavioural correlates with BMI. Methods: Participants (N = 2,076) were recruited from the Nanoro Health and Demographic Surveillance System area and were aged 40–60 years. We applied hierarchical modelling to identify factors associated with BMI and structural equation modelling to identify mediated effects of sociodemographic and behavioural variables on BMI. Results: Data are presented on 2,076 participants (49.9% female). Men had significantly higher BMI than women with medians of 21.1 (19.2 – 23.4) vs 19.8 (18.1 – 21.6) (p < 0.001), and there were significantly more underweight women compared to men (31.0% vs 17.4%) (p < 0.001). More men were overweight and obese than women (11.9% vs 5.2% and 2.2% vs 1.4%). Socioeconomic status was the major contributor to increased BMI for men, and education was the main contributor in women. Tobacco smoking and chewing, and problematic alcohol consumption were associated with a decrease in BMI in men and women. Conclusion: Overweight and obesity are relatively low among adults in rural Burkina Faso, and men had a higher median BMI than women. Behavioural factors, including tobacco use and alcohol consumption, contributed to a decrease in BMI, whereas socioeconomic status and education (which were both generally low in this community) contributed to an increase in BMI.

Childhood obesity remains a major cause of several diseases which requires regular physical work and healthy dietary supplementary to the children. This small survey shows that changed era changes the lifestyle of the children and they are keeping themselves away from the healthy and nutritious lifestyle which makes them obese and they become inactive in performing the different physical activities. A physical exam and some blood tests can rule out the possibility of a medical condition as the cause for obesity. Different chronic diseases will surround them and makes them weaker.

“…The prevalence of obesity reported in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in 2014, gave a 30.5%, 22% prevalence of overweight and obesity respectively [23]. Systemic reviews and other studies on the subject suggest high and wide ranges in the prevalence of overweight and obesity [5]…”

Background: Overweight and obesity present a growing health problem among Africans from all socioeconomic status. In Sub Saharan African, obesity is not only a consequence of overnutrition but possibly from excessive consumption of unbalanced diet dominated by carbohydrates and saturated fats. Characteristics of the distribution of obesity/overweight in Nigeria include its high prevalence along with socioeconomic class and in mid-life. Methods: Using the WHO STEP-wise approach to surveillance of noncommunicable diseases, we conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study of the adult population living in two urban slums in Enugu. The study was carried out in 2013. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version. Results: A total of 605 (414 women (68.4%) and 191 (31.6%) men were recruited and analysed. The mean body mass index was 25.8 kg/m 2 higher in females (26.7 kg/m 2) than males (24 kg/m 2) p < 0.01. The prevalence of overweight and obesity is 29.4% (178/605) and 19.5% (118/605) respectively. There also a modest prevalence of underweight 4% (24/605) among the population. All classes of obesity were significantly more prevalent in females. Significant positive correlates of BMI were: female sex (r = 0.21, p < 0.001), systolic blood pressure (0.25, p < 0.001), DBP (0.27, p < 0.001), fasting blood glucose (0.19, p < 0,001) and positive history of hypertension (0.23, P < 0.001). Negative correlates were physical activity and use of tobacco (0.2 (<0.001) and −0.16 (<0.001) respectively). Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity is relatively high in two urban slums in Enugu and co-exists with a modest rate of underweight. Public health and community-based approaches should be used to tackle these two-opposing social/health problems.
