“…A lower SES often denotes large family size, poor education, poor living conditions, inadequate access to nutritious foods and safe water [7]. Conversely, access to cheap, nutritionally-poor foods and motorized transportation are classical underpinnings of a high SES, which drives overweight/obesity [25]. These observations support the patterns observed in this study.…”

Income inequality within the same place of residence may impact the nutritional status of children. This study therefore investigated the impact of income inequality on the nutritional status of children living in the same place of residence, using anthropometric tools. Children in four schools (Schools 1–4) within the vicinity of a housing estate in Umuahia, Nigeria, that charge fees making them ‘very affordable’, ‘affordable’, ‘expensive’ and ‘very expensive’, respectively, were recruited for the study. Thinness, overweight and obesity were defined using the Cole et al. reference standards. Thinness was present in 10.4% (13.0% of boys, 7.6% of girls); 20.4% (15.6% of boys, 27.3% of girls; and 0.7% (1.4% of boys, 0.0% of girls) of children in Schools 1–3, respectively; but absent in school 4. Only 3.7% (1.4% of boys, 6.1% of girls) and 5.6% (6.3% of boys, 4.5% of girls) of children in Schools 1 and 2, respectively, were overweight/obese. Conversely, 25.8% (18.9% of boys, 32.5% of girls) and 41.6% (38.8% of boys, 45.3% of girls) of children in Schools 3 and 4, respectively, were overweight/obese. The urban-poor (School 2) are clearly affected by malnutrition disproportionately.

“…In Southeast Asia, increased urbanization is not necessarily accompanied by a shift in preference from traditional to western foods, resulting in the nutrition transition seen in developing countries. Lipoeto et al's [ 29 ] study of food consumption patterns among adults living in urban and rural areas in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia showed that Filipinos, Malaysians, and Indonesians have retained many aspects of their traditional diets, and that western-style foods and fast foods were considered as snack or recreational foods to be consumed only once in a while. But while traditional food patterns were maintained, more sugar and vegetable oils were consumed and added to traditional recipes.…”

“…Studies investigating the strength of low-cost but feasible mass population field tests to determine the predictors of high fasting insulin and consequently insulin resistance among adolescents are scarce, especially in countries in intermediate stages of nutrition transition such as Malaysia192021. Hence, the aim of this study was to identify the predictors of high fasting insulin and insulin resistance (as measured by HOMA-IR) among overweight and obese Malaysian adolescents, by employing three clinically easily accessible instruments, namely a WC measuring tape, BIA, and the Modified Harvard Step Test (MHST)222324 for mass population testing.…”

Hyperinsulinaemia is the earliest subclinical metabolic abnormality, which precedes insulin resistance in obese children. An investigation was conducted on the potential predictors of fasting insulin and insulin resistance among overweight/obese adolescents in a developing Asian country. A total of 173 overweight/obese (BMI > 85th percentile) multi-ethnic Malaysian adolescents aged 13 were recruited from 23 randomly selected schools in this cross-sectional study. Waist circumference (WC), body fat percentage (BF%), physical fitness score (PFS), fasting glucose and fasting insulin were measured. Insulin resistance was calculated using homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Adjusted stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to predict fasting insulin and HOMA-IR. Covariates included pubertal stage, socioeconomic status, nutritional and physical activity scores. One-third of our adolescents were insulin resistant, with girls having significantly higher fasting insulin and HOMA-IR than boys. Gender, pubertal stage, BMI, WC and BF% had significant, positive moderate correlations with fasting insulin and HOMA-IR while PFS was inversely correlated (p < 0.05). Fasting insulin was primarily predicted by gender-girls (Beta = 0.305, p < 0.0001), higher BMI (Beta = −0.254, p = 0.02) and greater WC (Beta = 0.242, p = 0.03). This study demonstrated that gender, BMI and WC are simple predictors of fasting insulin and insulin resistance in overweight/obese adolescents.
