“…Therefore, the results of this study challenge the applicability of sequence of classical epidemiological transition on the mortality transition in India. Our results in this study also align with the findings of other studies in developing countries [2,4,5,8].…”

“…Omran [1] laid the foundation for the "epidemiological transition theory, " which builds upon the demographic transition and the changing patterns in disease prevalence [2]. Epidemiological transition is marked by a shift in the cause of death profile to reflect the predominance of noncommunicable diseases as the mean age of the population advances [1,3].…”

“…During the last decade as a consequence of rapid demographic transition and growing proportion of the adult and older population, the epidemiological profile of low and middle income countries reflects the diseases of adults rather than childhood while retaining high exposure to risk factors associated with infectious diseases, leaving poor rural areas and urban slums with persisting high rates of infections and childhood deaths alongside richer urban areas where adults die prematurely of noncommunicable diseases [2,4,5,[8][9][10][11][12][13]. About 60 million deaths occur worldwide every year, out of which 46 million deaths occur in low and middle income countries [14].…”

“…The recent Global Burden of Disease (GBD) gives some information on the national level analysis of the cause of deaths in India as part of global country study, but the study did not address national or subnational level findings in detail [4]. Therefore, in this study, we have a twofold objective: (1) to measure the trends in mortality by different CoD between 1990 and 2006 and their relative contributions among different age groups stratified by sex; (2) to project the leading causes of death through 2020.…”

Our objective is to assess epidemiological transition in urban Maharashtra in India in past two decades. We used the medically certified causes of death (MCCD) data from urban areas of Maharashtra, 1990Maharashtra, -2006. Cause-specific death rate was estimated, standardized for age groups, and projected by using an exponential linear regression model. The results indicate that the burden of mortality due to noncommunicable conditions increased by 25% between 1990 and 2006 and will add 20% more by 2020. Among specific causes, the "diseases of the circulatory system" were consistently the leading CoD between 1990 and 2006. The "infectious and parasitic disease" and "diseases related to respiratory system" were the second and third leading causes of death, respectively. For children and young population, the leading cause of death was the "certain conditions originating in the prenatal period" and "injury and poisoning, " respectively, among both sexes. Among adults, the leading cause of death was "infectious and parasitic diseases. " In case of the adult female and elderly population, "diseases of circulatory system" caused the most deaths. Overall the findings foster that socioeconomically developed and demographically advanced urban Maharashtra bears the double burden of disease-specific mortality.

Es importante remarcar que en los países en vías de desarrollo donde aún persisten los problemas nutricionales caracterizados por el déficit de energía (desnutrición) y de micronutrientes (anemia nutricional), se viene observando un ambiente obesogénico favorecido por la disminución de la actividad física y el aumento de la disponibilidad de alimentos de alta densidad energética (9) .…”

RESUMENObjetivos. Estimar la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad en niños menores de cinco años en el Perú durante los años 2007 a 2010 y describir su distribución de acuerdo con ámbitos geográficos, niveles de pobreza, edad, educación de la madre, lactancia materna exclusiva, sexo y peso al nacer. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una encuesta continua (transversal repetida), por muestreo aleatorio multietápico, del universo de niños menores de cinco años y gestantes residentes en el Perú, dividido en cinco ámbitos geográficos. Las mediciones antropométricas se efectuaron de acuerdo con metodología estándar internacional. Resultados: Se estudiaron 3 669 niños menores de cinco años, de ellos 50,3% fueron niños. En Lima Metropolitana residían 680; 763 en el resto de costa; 719 en la sierra urbana, 699 en la sierra rural y 808 en la selva. La prevalencia nacional de sobrepeso y obesidad es 6,9%, con la mayor prevalencia, en Lima Metropolitana (10,1%) y con menor prevalencia en la selva (2,6%). Mediante regresión logística múltiple se identificaron como factores asociados a la edad, el sexo, el ámbito geográfico y el peso al nacer. Conclusiones: Los factores asociados con sobrepeso y obesidad son la procedencia de Lima Metropolitana, el primer año de vida, el sexo masculino y el peso al nacer mayor a 2,5 kg.

PREVALENCE OF OVERWIGHT AND OBESITY AMONG CHILDREN UNDER FIVE YEARS IN PERU 2007-2010 ABSTRACT Objectives:To estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children under five in Peru in the years 2007-2010 and to describe according to geographical areas, poverty levels, maternal education, breastfeeding, child age, sex and birth weight. Materials and methods: continuous (repeated cross-sectional) multistage, random sampling survey from the universe of children under five-years and pregnant women living in Peru, divided into five geographical areas. Results: Out of 3,669 children, 50.3% were males (Lima N=680, Remaining Coast N=763, Urban Sierra N=719, Rural Sierra N=699, Jungle N=808) having their weight and height measured according to international standards. The national prevalence of overweight and obesity was 6.9%, with Metropolitan Lima (10.1%) as the highest and in the Jungle (2.6%) as the lowest. Age, sex, geographical area and birth weight were identified as risk factors through multiple logistic regression. Conclusions: overweight and obesity are higher in Lima, during the first year of age and when birth weight is more than 2.5 Kg.
