“…Girls are the most affected by overweight and obesity with 18 and 5% respectively, compared to 10 and 3% for boys. The proportions of overweight and obese children are close to those found in the national literature [4,5,10,11]. However, the situation is changing from 1 year to year, since in 6 years: the prevalence of overweight including obesity is 18% after it was 13.1%; if overweight only affected 10% of children before, now it affects 14%; obesity only affected 3.1% of this age category at the beginning of this decade, now it affects 4% globally according to the most recent study on this age category [4,5,12].…”

“…The prevalence of overweight and obesity has risen at an alarming rate in recent decades, particularly among children and adolescents, becoming one of the greatest public health challenges of the twenty-first century [1,2]. Childhood and adolescent obesity is a global problem, affecting both developed and low-and middle-income countries, particularly in urban areas [3][4][5].…”

Our objectives through this paper are multiple: to measure the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children between 5–11 years; highlight the main causes that lead children under 12 years old to become overweight or obese, especially by highlighting the cause and effect relationship between eating disorders “bulimia nervosa” and obesityoverweigh; highlight the risk factors associated with overweight or obese children; and finally, the strategies to be planned and the policies to be applied to curb the phenomenon of obesity in this age group. This is a descriptive and cross-sectional survey which aims to study and analyze a representative sample of children under the age of 12 who attend a municipal swimming pool during the month of July 2018. The sample is made up of 509 children from less than 12 years old; the majority of children are regulars at the municipal swimming pool during the summer located in the department of Constantine, a department in the North-East of Algeria. Overweight affects 14% of children aged 5–11 years old, while moderate obesity affects 4% of children in this age category, frank obesity affects 1% of this age group. The percentage of boys and girls with a BMI3, 4 or 5 are around 13% and 23%, respectively, of the entire sample.

La prédominance féminine a été confirmée par les résultats de Blake-Scarlett BE et coll (17) qui ont trouvé que les prévalences du surpoids et de l'obésité, étaient significativement plus importantes chez les filles (12,5% et 7,9%) comparativement aux garçons (8,7% et 6,2%), (p<0.001) dans la population Jamaïcaine.…”

Relationship between Malocclusion and Obesity: A Cross-sectional Study in the Moroccan Population

Introduction: Intra-arch dental malocclusions are explained by the disharmony between the arch perimeter and the existing dental capital. The habitable perimeter is the result of the basal and alveolar growth, itself under the dependence of the musculature. The idea of working on the relationship between obesity and malocclusion is to understand whether the effects of mastication and the typology of musculature specific to this category, could have an influence on the dimensions of the arches and therefore on the genesis of malocclusions in children. The aim of this cross-sectional observational study is therefore to evaluate the impact of obesity and overweight on the development of malocclusion in growing age subjects. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 58 children aged 10 to 16 years old who consulted the Rabat Dental Treatment and Consultation Center CCTD-CHIS between January 2018 and December 2018. Excluded from this study were children who had received orthopedic treatment or were undergoing orthodontic treatment, children with system pathology, as well as those with incomplete dentures or proximal caries. The sample was divided into 2 groups according to their Body Mass Index (BMI): G1 normal weight children, G2 overweight or obese children. The variables studied were: dental crowding, overjet and overbite, presence of dysfunction or parafunction and height of the anterior face. The comparison of these variables between the two groups was made by Pearson's Chi-square test for qualitative variables and the non-parametric test (Mann- Whitney's U-test) for quantitative variables. Results: The results of this study showed that the frequency of dysfunctions and parafunctions, as well as the increase in the lower anterior facial height were greater in the overweight/obese group (57.1%; 62.9% and 60.9% respectively). For endo-buccal parameters, crowding was greater in the overweight/obese group with a median of 2 [0-3] for this group and 1 [0-3] for the normo-weight group. The difference between the two groups for these parameters was not statistically significant. In addition, the results of this study showed that the overjet in the overweight/obese group was slightly reduced (1[o-2]) compared to the norm-weight group (2[1-3]). This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05).

“…Obesity and overweight during adolescence are a concern because of their potential health impact (Musung et al, 2019;Noirez et al, 2019). It is furthermore established that 40% of children who are obese at the age of 17 years have a 5-fold higher risk of excess adiposity in adulthood with a high risk of obesity-related comorbidities (Ward et al, 2017).…”

The policy for the management of obese children in Congo is almost non-existent. The present study aims at determining the level of acceptability, accessibility and effectiveness of the form of physical exercise session best suited for the management of obese school children in Brazzaville. Methods: The present study was an intervention study, carried out with 23 overweight students from eight secondary schools in the city of Brazzaville. The participants were subjected to two physical exercise sessions (aerobics alone and then, aerobics and muscle strengthening) during one week. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The form of the session was considered acceptable if its assessment based on 6 items scored at least 13.6 out of a total of 17 points; accessible if its assessment based on 5 items scored 14.4 out of a total of 18 points. It was considered effective if it met 4 of the physiological criteria. The level of acceptability of the aerobics and muscle strengthening session was significantly higher than that of the aerobics session alone (14/23 or 61% versus 4/19 or 17%; P = 0.03). PCA identified two components (percent weight loss %PP and energy expenditure DE) in axis 1 that had a satisfactory loading factor of 0.70. The results of this study put the acceptability, accessibility and effectiveness of an intervention program based on aerobics and strength training. This program could be recommended as a non-pharmacological means in the management of an obese adolescent population.
