Background: West African immigrants in Europe are disproportionally affected by metabolic conditions compared to European host populations. Nutrition transition through urbanisation and migration may contribute to this observations, but remains to be characterised.Objective: We aimed to describe the dietary behaviour and its socio-demographic factors among Ghanaian migrants in Europe and their compatriots living different Ghanaian settings.Methods: The multi-centre, cross-sectional RODAM (Research on Obesity and Diabetes among African Migrants) study was conducted among Ghanaian adults in rural and urban Ghana, and Europe. Dietary patterns were identified by principal component analysis.Results: Contributions of macronutrient to the daily energy intake was different across the three study sites. Three dietary patterns were identified. Adherence to the ‘mixed’ pattern was associated with female sex, higher education, and European residency. The ‘rice, pasta, meat, and fish’ pattern was associated with male sex, younger age, higher education, and urban Ghanaian environment. Adherence to the ‘roots, tubers, and plantain’ pattern was mainly related to rural Ghanaian residency.Conclusion: We observed differences in food preferences across study sites: in rural Ghana, diet concentrated on starchy foods; in urban Ghana, nutrition was dominated by animal-based products; and in Europe, diet appeared to be highly diverse.

“…This further suggests that undernutrition, whether general or micronutrient-specific, and not only overnutrition, increases cardio-metabolic risk. In our study in Burkina Faso [21,43], the double burden phenotypes combining micronutrient deficiencies and CMRF other than obesity were associated with dietary patterns characterized by low adequacy of vitamins B 12 and B 6 , but not zinc [49]. Vitamin D deficiency has also been found to be related to lower HDL-C in women [50].…”

At-Risk Serum Cholesterol Profile at Both Ends of the Nutrition Spectrum in West African Adults? The Benin Study

et al. 2013

Low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), using as cut-offs 1.03 mmol/L in men and 1.29 mmol/L in women, was observed in more than 25% apparently healthy adults (n = 541) in a cross-sectional study on nutrition transition and cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRF) in Benin, West Africa. Both overweight/obesity (35.3%) and underweight (11.3%) were present, displaying the double burden of malnutrition. We examined in more depth the association of low HDL-C with nutrition and with other CMRF. Metabolic syndrome components were assessed, plus the ratio of total cholesterol (TC)/HDL-C and serum homocysteine. Insulin resistance was based on Homeostasis Model Assessment. We also measured BMI and body composition by bio-impedance. Dietary quality was appraised with two non-consecutive 24 h recalls. Low HDL-C was associated with much higher TC/HDL-C and more abdominal obesity in men and women and with more insulin resistance in women. The rate of low HDL-C was highest (41.9%) among the overweight/obese subjects (BMI ≥ 25), but it also reached 31.1% among the underweight (BMI < 18.5), compared with 17.3% among normal-weight subjects (p < 0.001). Lower dietary micronutrient adequacy, in particular, in vitamins A, B3, B12, zinc and calcium, was associated with low HDL-C when controlling for several confounders. This suggests that at-risk lipoprotein cholesterol may be associated with either underweight or overweight/obesity and with poor micronutrient intake.

“…However, at a population level, rapid urbanisation and economic shift in developing countries has shifted from traditional diets which are often high in fruit and vegetables towards a westernised diet; High in trans fats and refined sugars (Zeba et al, 2014;Shrimpton and Rokx, 2012). High fat foods have become readily available and cheap to buy, therefore, the DBM is associated with high socioeconomic status in developing countries and low socioeconomic status in developed countries (Zeba et al, 2014;Min et al, 2018;Shrimpton and Rokx et al, 2012). Regions affected include Latin America, Africa, the middle East and Asia (Laillou et al, 2014;Gera et al, 2000;Kim et al, 2011).…”

The proposed protocol is for a systematic review and meta-analysis on the relationship between vitamin A and body mass. The primary objective is to explore the mechanisms between vitamin A and adiposity such as inflammation, dietary intake and body fat. The secondary objective is to look at the extent to which vitamin A is stored in different adipose tissue depots. The protocol outlines the motive and scope for the review, and methodology including the risk of bias, statistical analysis, screening and study criteria. Background 1 The problem, condition or issueGlobally, an estimated 1.9 billion people are either overweight or obese (WHO et al, 2017). It is well known that obesity is a leading cause for many non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cancer. More recently, micronutrient deficiency has been found in obese individuals in Vietnam and Latin American countries such as Mexico and Brazil (Laillou et al, 2014;Garcia et al, 2013;de Souza et al, 2007).Together, these two burdens constitute the double burden of malnutrition. There is increasing evidence indicating an inverse association between micronutrients and individuals with a higher body mass index (BMI), in particular fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin A (Andersen et al, 2006; Suzuki et al, 2006). These studies have also shown that dietary intakes of normal weight, overweight and obese individuals are not drastically different. Moreover, animal studies confirmed that obesity causes vitamin A deficiency, as vitamin A levels and transcriptional signalling is reduced in multiple organs, when serum vitamin A concentrations are in the normal range (Trasino et al, 2015).In humans, low serum vitamin A concentrations have been observed in obese individuals, most likely due to increased uptake into the adipose tissue depot, which is acting as a major body pool for vitamin A (Osth et al, 2014;Bonet et al, 2012;Bonet et al, 2003). Although, there is considerable evidence showing similar observations for other vitamins such as vitamin D, vitamin A plays a key role in the regulation of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation and lipid metabolism (Saneei et al, 2013). Vitamin A has been shown to be associated with a reduced odds of metabolic syndrome (MS), non alcoholic fatty acid liver disease (NAFLD) and dyslipidemia (Beydoun et al, 2012;Botella-Carretero et al, 2010;Albuquerque et al, 2016). Therefore, adequate vitamin A status in key metabolic tissues may lead to favourable reductions in body fat and subsequently reductions in obesity.However, it is not clear if an increase in adiposity is a causal effect of low serum vitamin A concentrations or the result of other physiological and environmental factors (Garcia et al, 2009). For instance, inflammation and dietary intake have been implicated as reasons for reduced serum vitamin A concentrations (Hosseini et al, 2017). Therefore, the proposed review hopes to show the degree at which inflammation and dietary intake each effect seru...
