“…It is not surprising that more obese individuals have a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome; one of the fi ve metabolic syndrome components directly refl ects the degree of adiposity. In our study, we also confi rmed that more obese individuals are more likely to have metabolic syndrome (dos Santos et al, 2015).…”

Objectives The prevalence of obesity in childhood and adolescence is a major public health problem and has increased dramatically over the last few decades. More attention is needed because it is closely related to some non-communicable diseases and metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of body mass index and cardiorespiratory fitness to the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in adolescents. Methods The sample of the study was 44 adolescents. This research is an observational analytic study. The sample of this study measured body mass index, cardiorespiratory fitness, and metabolic syndrome through measurement of abdominal circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, and blood fasting glucose. Results The results of the simultaneous test showed that both body mass index and cardiorespiratory fitness had a significant effect on the risk of metabolic syndrome (p = 0.000). The higher BMI tended to have metabolic syndrome 1.746 times higher than not having metabolic syndrome. The propensity of the unfit condition of cardiorespiratory having metabolic syndrome is 4.283 times higher than the one that has the fit condition. This logistic regression model is quite good because it can predict correctly 72.7% of the conditions that occur. Conclusions This study showed that the higher body mass index and cardiorespiratory fitness conditions can be used as predictors of metabolic syndrome in adolescents.

“…Novel data standardisation techniques also allow for meaningful international comparisons of 20mSRT performance in youth 24. Recent studies have identified large variability in children's 20mSRT performance within and between countries,6 15 25–27 which may be associated with broad population-level socioeconomic, cultural and policy factors (henceforth referred to as socioeconomic indicators). Consequently, as a surveillance instrument, the 20mSRT could help identify populations with high CRE and provide insights into broad socioeconomic indicators that may inform intervention, programme and/or policy targets to help improve CRE in other populations, especially those with low CRE.…”

“…A study by Dos Santos and colleagues in Maputo reported the prevalence of overweight/obesity to be 5.0%/6.0% in boys and 11.2%/9.1% in girls [ 98 ]. Dos Santos et al study also in Maputo among 323 adolescents aged 10 to 15 years reported the prevalence of overweight/obesity to be 7.5% in boys and 21.0% in girls [ 99 ]. In the Khartoum State of Sudan, Nagwa et al observed that, the prevalence of overweight and obesity were 10.8 and 9.7% in adolescents 10 to 18 years old [ 100 ]; while Salman et al found 14.8% overweight and 10.5% obesity among children between 6 and 12 years [ 101 ].…”

Prevalence, incidence, and trends of childhood overweight/obesity in Sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic scoping review

et al. 2020

Background The growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NDC), particularly in low-and middle-income countries, poses a significant threat to global health. Obesity and overweight constitute major risk factors of NCDs such as heart diseases, diabetes, and kidney disease, and as a result, contribute significantly to the development of chronic morbidities, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of premature death. This study described evidence on the prevalence, incidence, and trends of childhood overweight and obesity in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA). Methods We conducted a systematic scoping review employing the Arksey and O’Malley framework, Levac et al. recommendations, and the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. To obtain relevant published articles for this review, we performed a comprehensive keywords search in PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and CINAHL via EBSCOhost platform for studies published between 2009 and June 2019. Guided by the eligibility criteria, title and abstracts, as well as the full-text articles were independently screened in parallel by two investigators. All relevant data were independently extracted by two investigators using a piloted form designed in Microsoft and thematic analysis conducted. Results Of the 81 included studies obtained from 250,148 potentially eligible articles, the majority (25) conducted in South Africa followed by 18 in Nigeria. Six studies were conducted in Ethiopia (6), Tanzania (5), Kenya (4), Cameroon (4), Ghana (3), Uganda (2), Mozambique (2), and Sudan (2). One study each was conducted in Botswana, Gambia, Lesotho, Mauritius, Seychelles, Togo, and Zimbabwe. The remaining three articles were multi-country studies. Most (81.5%) of the included studies were cross-sectional surveys and the majority (79) focused on both male and female participants. The majority (80/81) of the included studies reported on the prevalence of childhood overweight/obesity, 8 on the trends of childhood overweight/obesity, and one presented evidence on the incidence of childhood overweight and obesity in SSA. Conclusion This review demonstrates limited studies on childhood overweight/obesity in most SSA countries although the included studies suggest an increasing burden. Considering the consequences of childhood obesity, there is a need for more primary researches to inform policies decision and implementation to halt the rise of childhood obesity/overweight in SSA.
