“…and Melby [23], who reported that most individuals who engage in unhealthy lifestyle behaviours had poor knowledge of obesity risk and displayed neutral attitudes towards overweight and obesity. This underscored the need for health providers to promote adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors as an integral component of the treatment and management process.…”

Overweight and obesity are major health challenges among young adults globally, particularly in developing countries including Nigeria. They are significant risk factors for the development of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, stroke, hyperlipidemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. As a result, it has become a health hazard and is an emerging public health problem. This study determined the prevalence and comorbidities of overweight and obesity among patients admitted to Madonna University Teaching Hospital Elele from 2010 to 2021. A crosssectional study was carried out using a survey research design and included patients diagnosed with overweight and obesity in the hospital through a simple random sampling technique. A sample size of 305 was selected and 300 analyzable questionnaires were returned. Data were summarized using descriptive and inferential statistics with the Statistical Package of social science (SPSS version 21). A p-value of less than 0.0 was considered significant. Out of the 300 participants, the modal age was 22-25 years (36.5%). The majority of the respondents were female (52.5%), and Igbo was the predominant tribe (45%). Christianity was the predominant religion 90.5% and 122(40.5%) had secondary educations qualification. The highest prevalence was recorded in 2021 with a prevalence of 39.3%. The majority of the respondents (23.8%) identified insulin resistance as a comorbidity associated with overweight and obesity, followed by hypertension (20.6%), diabetes mellitus (17.3%), sleep disorder (13.2%), and stroke (13.2%). Overall, 206 (68.7%) of the respondent exercise vigorously for 20 or more minutes at least three times a week while a majority of the respondents 204(68.1%) read or watch TV programs about improving health. Most of them 201(66.9%) limit use of sugars and food containing sugar. The study showed that the prevalence of overweight and obesity among patients in the population was high in 2021. Comorbid diseases associated were hypertension, insulin resistance, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, sleep apnea, and stroke. There was a relationship between age, gender, ethnicity, and educational status in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among the patients. Age, gender, and educational status significantly affected the adoption of a health-promoting lifestyle among the patients.

Ondorioz, arlo honetan ezagutza sendorik ez izatea oztopo izan daiteke, ez bakarrik nutrizio-kalitatera bideratutako erizaintzako zaintzetarako, hala nola dieta osasungarrien sustapenerako (Gormley & Melby, 2020) eta bizitza osasungarrirako (Fontaine et al, 2019, baita osasun-arloko etorkizuneko profesional eta agente horien osasunerako ere.

Introduction: Food intake can determine a person's individual state of health and well-being. Addressing relevant nutrition content in the nursing curriculum is the key to providing knowledge, attitudes and skills on prevention and treatment and to promoting health.Objective: To review the evidence concerning teaching and learning methods on nutrition for undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A search was carried out in MEDLINE (PubMed/Ovid), Web of Science (WOS), EMBASE (through OvidSP), CINAHL (through EBSCO Publishing), ERIC (Educational Resource Information Center) and Scopus. The search included publications in English and Spanish from the launch of the databases until January 2021. Primary empirical studies, studies with nursing students in the sample and studies that reported on teaching and learning about nutrition were included in this review. Results: 22 articles met the inclusion criteria, identifying four relevant themes: 1) Review of nursing programs and curricula; 2) Teaching designs; 3) Assessment of learning; 4) Student perceptions of the teaching methodology. Conclusions: This scoping review highlights the benefits of teaching nursing students about nutritional care programmes. The publications included show great heterogeneity across programmes, explicit learning outcomes and evaluation methods. Our findings suggest the need to further expand and strengthen research on design, implementation and evaluation of learning sequences. Introducción: La ingesta de alimentos puede determinar el estado individual de salud y bienestar de la persona. El abordaje de contenido relevante sobre nutrición en el curriculum de enfermería resulta clave a la hora de proporcionar conocimientos, actitudes y habilidades sobre prevención, tratamiento y promoción de la salud.Objetivo: Revisar el tipo de evidencia en relación a la enseñanza y aprendizaje sobre nutrición en estudiantes de grado en enfermería. Método: Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda en MEDLINE (PubMed/Ovid), Web of Science (WOS), EMBASE (a través de OvidSP), CINAHL (a través de EBSCO Publishing), ERIC (Educational Resource Information Center) y Scopus. La búsqueda incluyó publicaciones en inglés y español desde el lanzamiento de las bases de datos hasta enero de 2021. En esta revisión se incluyeron estudios empíricos primarios y que contuvieran en la muestra estudiantes de enfermería, y estudios cuyos resultados informaran sobre la enseñanza y aprendizaje en nutrición. Resultados: 22 trabajos cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, identificándose cuatro temas relevantes; 1) Revisión de programas y curriculum; 2) Diseños de enseñanza; 3) Evaluación del aprendizaje; 4) Percepción de los estudiantes sobre la metodología de enseñanza. Conclusiones: Las publicaciones incluidas presentan una gran heterogeneidad entre los programas implementados, los resultados de aprendizaje explicitados y los métodos de evaluación, lo que imposibilitó la comparación. Sin embargo, todos destacaron los beneficios de la enseñanza de la nutrición en estudiantes de enfermería. Estos resultados sugieren la necesidad de seguir investigando sobre el diseño, implementación y evaluación de las secuencias de aprendizaje.
