“…Int. J. Morphol.,35(2) transversal study conducted in two periods of time (2001-2004 and 2011-2014) including 8965 children aged 7-19 that lived in the urban areas of Vojvodina and Serbia (Rakic et al, 2016), the BMI of seven-year olds was significantly higher than the results of the present study. The results in the referred study were 17.31kg/m 2 (2001)(2002)(2003)(2004) and 16.49kg/m 2 (2011-2014) in seven-year-old boys, and 16.85 kg/m 2 (2001)(2002)(2003)(2004) and 17.23kg/m 2 (2011-2014) in girls.…”

Morphological characteristics of children commonly imply the processes of growth and development. Information on children's growth in height and their body weight is often used as the indicator of the children's health and nutritional status. As the parameters are changeable both temporally and spatially, it is important to provide their continual assessment. The aim of the study is to investigate the changes in morphological characteristics in a sample of Serbian 7-year-old children in the period 2005-2014. The data was gathered from medical documentation recorded in the period 2005-2014 in the local health-care centre "Dr Dusan Savic-Doda" in Beocin, which is situated in the central part of the province Vojvodina, the northwest part of Serbia. Most of the population consists of Serbs (69.7 %), and the second largest group are Roma (9 %) who came to this region in the 1990s as refugees from Kosovo. The categorization of the participants was based on their decimal age ranging from 6.50 to 7.49 years. Body height and weight were measured, and nutritional status categories were set in relation to the cut off values of body mass index (BMI) of the age of 7 (kg/m 2) as proposed by IOTF-International Obesity Task Force. The study has pointed to an increasing trend in height and a decrease of BMI. Analysing the period of ten years, the height, weight and BMI in seven-year-olds living on the territory on Beocin municipality have proven to be slightly lower than in the children of the same age in other parts of Vojvodina and Serbia. The obtained results point to the need of further investigations of children living in this region in order to provide a better insight into the changes of the morphological parameters.

Prevalence and Trends of Overweight and Obesity in European Children From 1999 to 2016

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IMPORTANCE Studies of trends in excess weight among European children throughout the last few decades have rendered mixed results. Additionally, some studies were outdated, were based on self-reported weight and height, or included only a few European countries.OBJECTIVE To assess prevalence trends in measured overweight and obesity among children across Europe from 1999 to 2016 using a systematic methodology.DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science were searched from their inception until May 2018. Moreover, searches were conducted on health institutions' websites to identify studies not published in scientific journals. STUDY SELECTIONThe inclusion criteria were: (1) studies reporting the population-based prevalence of excess weight (overweight plus obesity) or obesity according to body mass index cutoffs proposed by the International Obesity Task Force; (2) cross-sectional or follow-up studies; and (3) studies including populations aged 2 to 13 years.DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Literature review and data extraction followed established guidelines. The Mantel-Haenszel method was used to compute the pooled prevalence estimates and their 95% CI whenever there was no evidence of heterogeneity (I 2 < 50%); otherwise, the DerSimonian and Laird random-effects method was used. Subgroup analyses by study year, country, or European region (Atlantic, Iberian, Central, and Mediterranean) were conducted. Prevalence estimates were calculated as an aggregate mean, weighted by the sample size and the number of individuals in each study. RESULTS A total of 103 studies (477 620 children aged 2 to 13 years) with data from 28 countries were included. The combined prevalence of overweight and obesity in the Iberian region tended to decrease from 30.3% (95% CI, 28.3%-32.3%) to 25.6% (95% CI, 19.7%-31.4%) but tended to increase in the Mediterranean region from 22.9% (95% CI, 17.9%-27.9%) to 25.0% (95% CI, 14.5%-35.5%). No substantial changes were observed in Atlantic Europe or Central Europe, where the overweight and obesity prevalence changed from 18.3% (95% CI, 14.0%-23.9%) to 19.3% (95% CI, 17.7%-20.9%) and from 15.8% (95% CI, 13.4%-18.5%) to 15.3% (95% CI, 11.6%-20.3%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCEThe prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity is very high, but trends have stabilized in most European countries. There are substantial between-country differences in the current levels and trends of overweight and obesity. The rising prevalence in some Mediterranean countries is worrisome.

“…Но после 2000 г. картина изменилась -тренд на увеличение ИМТ у детей замедлился, но у взрослого населения он продолжается приблизительно с той же скоростью. Различные исследования на национальном уровне показывают, что среднее значение ИМТ может как значительно увеличиваться в подростковом и юношеском возрасте [18][19][20][21], так и демонстрировать стабилизацию средних значений [22][23][24].…”

Introduction. The aim of the study. The investigation of the time-related dynamics of adiposity parameters in a socially and economically homogenous group of young people. To determine the pattern of change in their health parameters and assess the prevalence of different diseases associated with increased body weight. Materials and methods. This study used the research titled "Massive anthropometric monitoring of physical development parameters of children, teenagers, and students" conducted from 2000 to 2018. The body mass index (BMI) of more than 6,400 students aged 17-18 years (2,971 young males and 3,418 young females) was examined. Then, we calculated the prevalence of underweight, overweight, and obesity among them. To determine the degrees of obesity, we compared the BMI values in our study with the World Health Organization's BMI ranges for corresponding age. Results. Over the study period, the mean BMI values and 5th and 15th BMI percentiles were characterized by weak positive time-related trends. Furthermore, 85th and 95th percentiles demonstrated a higher rate of increased data values (female students). From 2000 to 2018, the prevalence of overweight among female students increased from 5.2% to 10.5%, and that of obesity rose from 1.7% to 4.6%. For male students, no significant increase occurred in the overweight prevalence. Conclusions. To prevent chronic diseases associated with increased fat mass, attention should be paid to the mean values of different overweight parameters and the prevalence of extreme meanings in extensive population observations. Increased BMI among young females aged 17-18 years implies their possible elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases and other associated disorders later in life, related to nutrition disorders and lifestyle.
