“…Also, children in the 5 to 10 age group are at greater risk of stunting. This result is contrary to that of a study carried out in Dori in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso (Ouédraogo et al, 2019), in Ethiopia (Tariku et al, 2018), which show that schoolchildren aged 10 to 15 years are more likely to be stunted than children aged 5 to 9 years. This trend could be an indication of the continuity of the stunting process during school age in Burkina Faso.…”

Background Child malnutrition remains a public health problem affecting both children under 5 years of age and adolescents in Burkina Faso. However, school-age children are not always considered in programs to reduce malnutrition, despite their negative impact on school performance. This study sought to identify the factors associated with the nutritional status of students in public primary schools. Method Three-stage sampling was used to select 559 students aged 5–14 years enrolled in 24 public elementary school. Face- to- face interview using a structured questionnaire were used to collect information from children and their parents. Z-scores for weight-for-age, height-for-age, and BMI-for-age were calculated using the AnthroPlus software to determine the prevalence of all aspects of malnutrition among the studied children. Binary logistic regressions were used to examine factors associated with malnutrition. Results The sample included 52.8% girls, with an average age of 10.79 years. The prevalence of undernutrition was 35.8%, with 12.9% for stunting, 9.1% for underweight, and 13.8% for thinness. The prevalence of being overweight and obese was 0.7%. Stunting is significantly associated with 5–10 age and water from non-portable sources. Being underweight is associated with living in the province of Kourwéogo and the father's lack of of schooling. Leanness is positively associated with the 5 to 10 age group, non-deworming of pupils and the father's occupation as a trader. Conclusion Undernutrition is a real health problem among students in public primary schools in the Plateau Central region of Burkina Faso. Actions to prevent undernutrition must be undertaken to benefit school-age children.

“…A third study was conducted with school‐aged children (5 to 15 years) living in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso in 2016. They found 85% of the children to be anemic with an equal distribution between boys and girls 51 . No other information was identified on early adolescents specifically.…”

“…They found 85% of the children to be anemic with an equal distribution between boys and girls. 51 No other information was identified on early adolescents specifically. This indicates an urgent need to integrate health-and nutrition-related services and interventions in the school environment to prevent or at least slow down the transition to a greater burden of overweight, obesity, and anemia.…”

BACKGROUND:The school presents an ideal environment to positively impact the long-term health and nutrition outcomes of early adolescents, who are at risk of obesity and anemia. METHODS:In this cross-sectional survey, we described differences in weight and anemia by sociodemographic, diet and physical activity indicators among 1059 students aged 11 to 15 years from 22 junior secondary schools in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Weight was based on body mass index (BMI) z-scores according to the WHO reference and anemia status was defined by standardized hemoglobin (Hb) measure cut-offs. We calculated dietary diversity scores (DDS) from a 24-hour dietary recall and a global diet quality score (GDQS) from a 7-day dietary recall. RESULTS:The prevalence of obesity (5%) and anemia (50%) was relatively high among the students, which differed significantly between gender, household wealth and school grade, but not age groups. Eighteen percent of the female adolescents were overweight or obese and 22% were moderately anemic compared to 13% and 16% of the male adolescents. Dietary diversity was significantly different between weight categories, but not anemia status. For physical activity, those taking transportation to school were significantly more likely to be overweight or obese. In adjusted multivariable Poisson regression analyses, only the DDS was significantly associated with thinness and both thinness and anemia, while taking transportation to school was significantly associated with overweight among adolescents. CONCLUSION:We encourage the promotion of school-based interventions and provision of a curriculum on health and healthy eating in order to reduce obesity, anemia, and its comorbidities.

Oral pathology and overweight among pupils in government primary schools in Cameroon: a cross-sectional study

Background Tooth decay and periodontal diseases are the main oral pathologies in the world. The prevalence of overweight in children has increased worldwide. Overweight children have alterations in the composition of saliva and excessive consumption of saturated fatty acids tend to slow the metabolism of carbohydrates in the oral cavity leading to tooth decay, periodontal disease and others oral disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between oral pathologies and overweight in pupils of primary schools of Cameroon. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out from June to August 2020 in four government primary schools selected through cluster sampling in Yaounde. 650 pupils aged between 6 and 11 years were enrolled. Data collected included anthropometric, oral pathologies, quality of oral hygiene and feeding habits. Data were analysed with the SPSS 26.0 statistical software and binary logistic regression was used to determine the risks of oral pathologies in overweight pupils. P-value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The prevalence of overweight was 27% (95% CI: 23.5—30.5). The main oral pathologies was tooth decay (60.3%). Binary logistic regression revealed that overweight pupils were significantly 1.5 times more likely to develop tooth decay than non-overweight pupils (95% CI: 1.1—2.4). Conclusion Overweight, tooth decay are prevalent among pupils. Overweight pupils have a higher risk of developing tooth decay compared to non-obese pupils. An integrated package of oral and nutritional health promotion activities is necessary in primary schools in Cameroon.
