“…However, this does not seem to be the case in Arab towns, as after adjusting for town-level SER, the towns' centrality remained significantly correlated adolescent overweight/obesity. These findings are opposed to previous studies, in which the urban-rural gap in overweight/obesity was attuned or insignificant after adjustment for socioeconomic factors [19,43,44] . The low rate of adolescent overweight/obesity in Arab peripheral towns that was observed in this study may be attributed to the low exposure to modern environments/lifestyles in those towns, which is enhanced by their geographical isolation and segregation that maintains a "closed" society with little cultural exchange with neighboring communities [36,37] .…”

Childhood and adolescent overweight/obesity is a major burden on public health worldwide. A growing body of empirical evidence highlights the impact of community characteristics of childhood obesity. This study explored socioeconomic and spatial variations of adolescent overweight/obesity in Israel by using an ecological approach. Towns' socioeconomic and spatial characteristics were found associated with adolescent overweight/obesity in opposite directions in Jewish and Arab towns. Adolescent overweight/obesity was found to be more prevalent in Jewish towns characterized by lower socioeconomic rank (SER) and higher peripherality levels and in Arab towns characterized by higher SER and lower peripheraliy levels. Additionally, inequalities were found to be positively related to adolescent overweight/obesity in Jewish towns. After adjusting for SER, the associations between peripherality and adolescent overweight/obesity were attuned in Jewish towns, but not in Arab towns. These findings correspond with the literature, as the results obtained for the Jewish and Arab towns are consistent with studies conducted in developed and in developing countries, respectively. Therefore, the findings highlight the importance of macro level factors enhancing obesity, and suggest that national policy may benefit from town-level interventions addressing adolescent overweight/ obesity. Several explanations to the study's findings are discussed, involving social, environmental and individual factors.

“…This finding is not inconsistent to other studies [10][11][12] . The novel findings are that the trend of increasing prevalence of hypertension with the increasing general obesity (BMI) and central obesity (WHR and WHtR) differed between (T2DM) and non-diabetic (non-DM) subjects.…”

In recent years, non-communicable diseases (NCD) like obesity, hypertension (HTN) and Type2 diabetes (T2DM) are on the increase, specially in the developing nations. Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) are used as indices of obesity to relate T2DM, HTN and coronary artery disease (CAD). This study addresses whether the risk of obesity for HTN differs between T2DM and non-DM subjects. We investigated 693 diabetic patients from BIRDEM and 2384 from communities. We measured height, weight, waist-girth, hip-girth and blood pressure. All subjects underwent oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). BMI, WHR and WHtR were calculated. Systolic and diastolic hypertension (sHTN and dHTN)) were defined as SBP >=140 and DBP >= 90 mmHg, respectively. The prevalence of both sHTN and dHTN in T2DM was higher than the non-DM subjects (sHTN: 49.1 vs 14.3%, dHTN 19.6 vs. 9.5%). The comparison of characteristics between subjects with and without hypertension showed that the differences were significant for age, weight, waist-girth, BMI, WHR and WHtR for both T2DM and non-DM subjects (for all p<0.001). The increasing trend of hypertension with increasing obesity was observed more in the non-DM than in the T2DM subjects. The risk (OR) of obesity for hypertension increased with increasing WHR and WHtR in the non-DM than the T2DM subjects. Compared with the non-DM the T2DM participants had two to three folds higher prevalence of HTN. In either group, BMI, WHR and WHtR were significantly higher in the hypertensive than the non-hypertensive subjects. The prevalence of hypertension increased with the increasing BMI, WHR and WHtR but significant only in the non-DM. Further studies may confirm these findings and determine whether there was any altered association between blood pressure and obesity in diabetes possibily, with or without autonomic neuropathy.Ibrahim Med.

Effect of Socioeconomic Risk Factors on the Difference in Prevalence of Diabetes Between Rural and Urban Populations in Bangladesh

Abstract: Adjusting for age, sex, and social class, the prevalence of NIDDM among urban subjects did not differ significantly from that among rural subjects. Increased age, higher socioeconomic class, and higher WHR were proven to be independent risk factors for glucose intolerance in either area.
