Urbanization in Peru is inversely associated with double burden of malnutrition: Pooled analysis of 92,841 mother–child pairs

Abstract: In Peru (1) and other low-and middle-income countries (2,3), the coexistence of child undernutrition (either underweight, wasting, and stunting) and rising adult obesity rates drives the householdlevel double burden of malnutrition (DBM), wherein children with undernutrition paradoxically cohabit with mothers and other adults with overweight and/or obesity. In the 2009 to 2019 period in Peru, the prevalence of stunting among children under age 5 years fell from 23.8% to 12.2%; and concurrently, overweight/ obe… Show more

“…Reporting the underweight prevalence, our findings (0.5%) were lower than the global data reported by UNICEF (12.6%) [ 11 ], East Asia and Pacific region (5.18%) [ 11 ], and the Regions of the Americas (2.5%) [ 11 ]. As for wasting prevalence, our results (6.7%) were in line with the global UNICEF data (6.7%) [ 11 ], higher than the Region of the Americas (0.7%) [ 11 ], Peru (0.1%) [ 64 ], Brazil (5.1%) [ 65 ], and the Western Pacific Region (2.1%) [ 11 ]. As for overweight prevalence, our rate (16.8) was higher than the UNICEF data at the global level (5.7%) [ 11 ], as well, it was higher than the Region of the Americas (8%) [ 11 ], Brazil (12.6%) [ 64 ], the Europe Region (7.9%) [ 11 ], and the Western Pacific Region (7.5%) [ 11 ].…”

“…Increases in the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in LMIC predict an increase in the BMI, owing largely to the widespread nutritional transitions that occur with development [ 40 ]. In Peru, the urbanization of rural life has caused a shift from traditional diets that were mostly self-grown to high-energy market-bought foods with larger portions and lower nutritional value [ 41 , 42 ]. In 2020, on average, inhabitants of rural environments consumed fruits and vegetables less frequently than in urban settings (4.1 vs. 4.6 days of the week) [ 43 ].…”

“…Over half of these centers do not have a medical doctor; and many are concentrated in coastal cities and in areas with higher economic development [ 50 ]. Peri-urban and rural settings are especially susceptible to both malnutrition and obesity [ 41 ]. Thus, rural inhabitants of the highlands and jungle have limited access to preventive health care services, and therefore, do not receive education regarding the health risks of excessive body fat and the increased risk of developing additional chronic diseases.…”

“…Fenomena yang muncul pada masyarakat marginal adalah kegemukan yang diakibatkan oleh akibat perubahan metabolisme pada masa kanak-kanak akibat stunting atau malnutrisi (29). Perubahan pola konsumsi dengan menggunakan produk olahan ultraproses karena harga yang lebih murah menjadi pemicu kejadian gizi ganda yang terjadi pada wilayah marginal/urban pinggiran perkotaan (44).…”
