“…The highest prevalence of obesity was observed in Kuwait (29.6%) 3 , Bahrain (21.7%) 4 and the UAE (14.4%) (96), while the lowest rates were reported from Pakistan (1%) (97), Morocco (2.5%) (98), Afghanistan (2.7% in girls) (44), Sudan (3.6%) (99), Yemen (4.4%) (100) and Djibouti (4.6%) (101). Available data suggested an increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity amongst school-age children.…”

“…Despite increasing attention to the alleviation of hunger worldwide (1), undernutrition remains a devastating multifaceted problem affecting infants, young children, adolescent girls and women (2). Children who suffer from chronic undernutrition in the early stages of life fail to grow and develop to their full potential, both mentally and physically (3), and are at increased risk for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) (4). Acute undernutrition, indicated by wasting in children aged < 5 years, is a strong predictor of mortality (5).…”

The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is growing swiftly in low-resourced countries resulting in deleterious health resembling the NCDs burden in high-resourced countries. Despite the availability of information on the escalating adverse economic and health effects of NCDs globally, specific strategies designed to address the growing burden of NCDs in low-resourced countries remain substandard. Research engines like EBSCOhost, Science Citation Index, CINAHL database, PsycINFO, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, published and unpublished abstracts and a hand search of reference lists and table of contents of relevant journals and books were searched from January 2011 to June 2019. In total, 84 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies confirm that lowresourced countries compared with high-resourced countries battle to implement NCDs prevention strategies; fail to record data on the risk factors of NCDs; medical records and surveillance data are unavailable. Due to a lack of knowledge and skill, low-resourced countries show no urgency to implement a systems approach for NCDs management. The findings confirm disparities between high-resourced and low-resourced countries regarding NCDs prevention, availability of quality data, and strategies to prevent and manage NCDs through a systems approach that can assist healthcare institutions in reducing the damaging effect of NCDs globally.

Development of understanding of DOHaD concepts in students during undergraduate health professional programs in Japan and New Zealand

Evidence in support of the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) hypothesis has reached the level where it can appropriately be used to inform practice. DOHaD informed interventions supporting primary noncommunicable disease risk reduction should target the pre- and periconceptional periods, pregnancy, lactation, childhood and adolescence. Such interventions are dependent on a health workforce (including dietitians, nurses, midwives, doctors, and nutrition teachers), that has a deep understanding of DOHaD concepts. This study assessed development of awareness of DOHaD concepts during undergraduate health professional training programs. Using a cross-sectional design, a standardized questionnaire was completed by Year 1-4 undergraduate students studying nutrition in Japan (n=309) and Year 1-3 nursing students in New Zealand (n=151). On entry to undergraduate study, most students had no awareness of the terms 'DOHaD' or 'First 1000 Days'. While awareness reached 60% by Year 3 in courses that included DOHaD-related teaching, this remains inadequate. More than 95% of Year 1 undergraduates in both countries demonstrated an appreciation of associations between maternal nutrition and fetal health. However, awareness of associations between parental health status and/or nutritional environment and later-life health was low. While levels of awareness increased across program years, overall awareness was less than optimal. These results indicate evidence of some focus on DOHaD-related content in curricula. We argue that DOHaD principles should be one pillar around which health training curricula are built. This study indicates a need for the DOHaD community to engage with faculties in curriculum development.
