“…Furthermore, approximately 16 to 18 % of children and adolescents have AO [32]. In adolescents, the prevalence of AO is higher in low middle-income countries, varying from 3.8 to 51.7 %, than in high-income countries (8.7 to 33.2 %) [33], as it was also noticed in American children and adolescents [34].…”

“…The excessive amount of visceral adipose tissue plays a role in the development of several metabolic disorders in pediatric population [36]. The importance of examining AO using low-cost anthropometric indices may contribute to identify cardiometabolic risk factors from adolescence through adulthood [34]. Thereby, simple anthropometric measures of AO, such as waist circumference (considering ethnicity, sex, and age) [37,38], waist to hip ratio, and waist to height ratio (independent of age, gender or race/ethnicity), could be considered as predictors of AO [11,39].…”

Obesity prevalence has increased worldwide over the last decades and has reached alarming rates in low middleincome countries. Childhood has been affected by this epidemic, leading to premature dramatic health problems. Adipose tissue is currently considered as an endocrine organ modulating an inflammatory state and important metabolic processes (insulin resistance, hypertension, glucose intolerance) leading to consequences of the cardiovascular system. This situation may be worst if the excess of body fat distribution such as abdominal obesity (AO) is involved because it is associated with a more atherogenic risk profile determining the cardiometabolic risks mainly in children and adolescents. Hence, the knowledge regarding the association between AO and cardiometabolic factors aims to prevent and treat the obesity in this young population, avoiding early harmful consequences of adulthood health.

Different domains of deprivation and their relationship with obesity in New Zealand 4‐year‐old children

et al. 2019

Summary Background There is a relationship between childhood obesity and area‐level deprivation. While the New Zealand Index of Deprivation (NZDep) has been used widely in research for the past 20 years, the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) was released in 2017. This study aims to investigate the association between deprivation and childhood obesity in New Zealand and compare measures of deprivation. Methods Data from 316 794 4‐year‐olds in New Zealand undertaking the B4 School Check in 2010 to 2016, a national health and development screen, were analysed. Multilevel logistic regression models assessed the relationship between area‐level deprivation and individual‐level child obesity. Models were adjusted for age, sex, immigration status, ethnicity, and year. Deprivation was measured using the census‐based NZDep2013 (deciles) and the administrative data‐based IMD (deciles). The seven domains of the IMD were also considered. Results The relationship between deprivation and obesity was very similar for the IMD and NZDep2013, point estimates were near identical, and confidence intervals overlapped substantially. Higher levels of deprivation were associated with a higher prevalence of child obesity. The relationship between deprivation and child obesity varied considerably across IMD domains. The education domain had the strongest association with child obesity and had an association with child obesity independent of the other domains of deprivation. Conclusion Overall, there was little difference between the NZDep and IMD. However, the IMD's domains and IMD‐1 approach reveal more nuanced understandings of the deprivation‐obesity gradient, including the importance of area‐level education deprivation for predicting child obesity rates.

Цель -исследование пищевых предпочтений студентов и риска развития у них избыточной массы тела. Материал и методы. Обследованы 239 студентов. Проведен опрос по пищевым предпочтениям, измерены антропометрические показатели, выполнено биоимпедансное исследование. Результаты. Выявлена связь пищевого поведения с полом, массой тела, окружностью талии и голени. Индекс массы тела и содержание жировой ткани также оказались взаимосвязаны с пищевым поведением. Пищевые предпочтения также ассоциированы с содержанием воды в организме. Aim. The objective of the present work was to study the nutritional preferences of the students and to evaluate the risk of gaining excessive weight. Material and methods. A total of 239 college students were interviewed to elucidate their nutritional preferences. Simultaneously, their anthropometric characteristics were obtained and a bio-impedance study carried out. Results. The results of the study give evidence of the relationship between the eating behaviour and such anthropometric characteristics as age, sex, waist and lower leg circumference. Moreover, the nutritional preferences were shown to depend on the water content in the body.

Abdominal obesity and its association with socioeconomic factors among adolescents from different living environments

Abstract: Abdominal obesity was associated with socioeconomic indicators in higher-income countries, but this association was not observed in a lower-middle-income country.
