“…Moreover, while no official assessment of food advertisements has been conducted in Tunisia, similar countries from the Eastern and Mediterranean regions are frequently exposed to unhealthy food advertisements in mass media [ 43 ]. The anthropometric parameters trends in Tunisia are similar to those reported in proximal North African countries (e.g., Algeria and Morocco) which showed a rising of the excess of adiposity [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ].…”

Aim: This study explored the association between the diet diversity score (DDS) and overweight among Tunisian children. Methods: A representative sample of children living in Greater Tunis was selected based on a two-stage clustered sampling design. A total of 1200 children (3–9 years) were recruited. Dietary assessment was realized using a 24 h dietary recall. Anthropometric measurements were realized, and overweight was defined according to the World Health Organization standards. Logistic regression was used for the association between DDS with overweight. Results: A quarter of children were found to be overweight. Overweight prevalence was found to decrease with the increase of mother education level (p = 0.010) among children <6 years. Crude DDS score was higher among non-overweight children irrespective of the age class (p = 0.002). Tunisian children appeared to consume much more than six food groups, corresponding to a more than recommended intake of most nutrients. Intriguingly, DDS was positively associated with the occurrence of overweight children <6 years, adjusted odd ratio = 1.37, 95% CI (1.03–1.82). Conclusion: Overweight is a public health problem among Tunisian children. A high DDS signifies adequate nutrient intake. An increase of DDS was found to be a positive predictor of overweight only in pre-school children.

“…Dans une étude menée en Afrique du Sud [24], 7,8% des adolescents scolarisés et âgés de 10 à 15 ans étaient en surpoids ou obèses. Sebbani M avait trouvé le même résultat que le nôtre en ce qui concerne la prévalence du surpoids (8% de cas du surpoids) et non en ce qui concerne le résultat de l’obésité dont la prévalence était supérieure au nôtre (3% de cas d’obésité ) [25]. Tandis que Dekkeki IC, avait trouvé le résultat de la prévalence du surpoids inferieure au notre soit 5,1% selon une étude faite en milieu scolaire dans les écoles primaires publiques à Rabat, tandis que le résultat de la prévalence de l’obésité était supérieur au notre soit 3,6% [26].…”

Introduction Le surpoids et l’obésité au cours de l’adolescence constituent un problème préoccupant de santé publique à l’échelle mondiale en raison de leur retentissement potentiel sur la santé et de leur fréquence croissante. La présente étude avait pour objectif de déterminer la prévalence du surpoids et de l’obésité chez les adolescents scolarisés dans les établissements publics et privés à Lubumbashi, en République Démocratique du Congo. Méthodes Il s’agissait d’une étude transversale menée auprès de 5.341 adolescents âgés de 10 à 19 ans, dont 2.858 (53,5%) filles et 2.483 (46,5%) garçons ont constitué notre échantillon. Pour chacun d’eux, nous avons mesuré le poids et la taille puis calculé l’indice de masse corporelle (IMC). Résultats La moyenne du poids était de 43,78 ± 11,62 kg (soit 42,39 ± 12,11 kg pour les garçons et 44,95 ± 11,04 kg pour les filles), celle de la taille était de 151,30 ± 13,09 cm (soit 151,20 ± 14,64 cm pour les garçons et 151,38 ± 11,58 cm pour les filles) et celle de l’IMC était de 18,82 ± 3,15 kg/m 2 (soit 19,39 ± 3,39 kg/m 2 pour les garçons et 18,17 ± 2,71 kg/m 2 pour les filles). La prévalence du surpoids était de 8% et celle de l’obésité était de 1%. Les filles étaient significativement plus touchées par le surpoids (10,7% filles contre 5% garçons) et l’obésité (1,5 % filles contre 0,4% garçons) que les garçons. Conclusion Le surpoids et l’obésité chez les adolescents en milieu scolaire s’avèrent une réalité à Lubumbashi. La détermination de la prévalence du surpoids et de l’obésité pour cette catégorie d’âge au plan national est recommandable pour leurs préventions et prises en charges.

“…Other authors, on the other hand, found higher school prevalence than ours. These include Mantey [19] in, 5.0% [20], 5.8% [21], 9.3% [11], 4.4% [22] respectively, they were all superior to ours. Open Journal of Epidemiology Contrarywise, some authors like Regaieg & al [22] and Benyaich & al [23] found in schools, lower prevalence of overweight than ours, which were of 6.3% and 2.0%, respectively.…”

Introduction Overweight and obesity are considered to be global public health concerns. The objective was to estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity and the associated factors. Methods This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2016 and involving 3968 adolescents of 10 to 19 years from 40 secondary schools in Benin. Participants were selected using a 2-level random sampling technique. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire and were analyzed using Epi Info and Stata softwares. Associated factors were investigated by a logistic regression. Results Mean age was 16.54 ± 0.04 years and sex ratio was 1.16. The prevalence of overweight was 8.1% and that of obesity was 1.6%. Associated risk factors were female gender, sedentary lifestyle, consumption of sugary and carbonated beverages. Consumption of fruits and vegetables, regular physical activity, age over than 15 years were protective factors. Conclusion Overweight and obesity among school adolescents are increasing in Benin. The establishment of a school nutrition program and the promotion of regular physical activity should contribute to reducing their prevalence.
