“…20 It is widely recognised that obesity has many negative consequences for health and increases the risk for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes 21 and the 'metabolic syndrome' . 22 Several dietary factors may have contributed to the high rates of overweight and obesity seen in especially urban women included in the current study.…”

Objective: The socio-demography, anthropometry and food intake of women residing in rural and urban areas of Lesotho were determined. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Setting: Basotho women from four randomly selected villages in Maseru and Berea, which includes both urban and rural areas. Subjects: A total of 452 women were included in the study. Outcome measures: Socio-demographic information was collected using a structured questionnaire completed in an interview with each participant. Standard methods were used to determine anthropometric measurements, while usual food intake was determined using a short unquantified food frequency questionnaire. Results: A large percentage of participants were unemployed with a significantly higher percentage in urban compared with rural areas (65.5 vs. 49.2%; CI 6.8%; 25.4%). A higher percentage of urban than rural participants had a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 (53.5 vs. 44.4%, respectively) and waist circumference ≥ 88 cm (62.7 vs. 54.1%, respectively). For both rural and urban participants, stiff maizemeal porridge was commonly consumed with all meals, often with moroho (cooked green leafy vegetables). Although a variety of vegetables (onions, cabbage, pumpkin, tomatoes, turnips and potatoes) were frequently eaten by most participants, quantities of intake were not determined. Protein sources consumed almost every day by more than 50% of all participants were dried beans. Chicken, eggs and full cream milk were consumed significantly more frequently by urban participants. Significantly more urban participants had access to a variety of fruits and vegetables, and they were also more likely to consume foods such as polony, russians (sausage containing pork and beef), sausage, sweetened drinks, mayonnaise and margarine more frequently than rural participants. Conclusions: A nutrition transition associated with the frequent intake of processed, sugary and high-fat foods was identified in urban participants. These unhealthy dietary practices may lead to an increased risk of obesity and poor health outcomes. The development of culturally acceptable and relevant interventions is thus recommended.

“…24,25 Estudios realizados a nivel mundial y regional muestran que alcanzar la meta de reducción de 30% del consumo de tabaco es un elemento clave para alcanzar un descenso de 25% en la mortalidad prematura debida a ENT para el año 2025, y que una meta más ambiciosa de un descenso de 50% en el consumo de tabaco aseguraría el alcance de esta meta en todas las regiones de la OMS. 26,27 El reto es claramente mayor si se toma en cuenta que este análisis sólo incluye un grupo seleccionado de las medidas del CMCT y que para combatir efectivamente la epidemia de tabaquismo es necesario que las Partes apliquen en forma progresiva la totalidad de las medidas del CMCT. Asimismo, las ratificaciones del Protocolo para la eliminación del comercio ilícito de los productos de tabaco tienen un ritmo más lento que el CMCT y, aun cuando fue adoptado en 2012, no está en vigor.…”
