Adulthood was where the nutritional needs of the adult age changed according to the age group. Lifestyle changes, in accordance with the changes in diet from traditional food to modern food habits led to overweight and obesity. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of vegetable and fruit consumption with the incidence of central obesity in adults in Pasar Ikan Bengkulu Health Center of Bengkulu City in 2018. This research was descriptive research with cross-sectional approach. The location of this research was in Pasar Ikan Bengkulu Health Center of Bengkulu City. The technique of getting samplis was by using simple random sampling with the sample of 74 sampel. The data was colledted by using interview and FFQ semi kuantitatif, which then analyzed by univariate and bivariate. The results of this research were 82,4% for vegetable consumption which was included in poor category, 55.4% fruit consumption which was included in good category and 78.4% for waist circumference which was included in central obesity, it was tested by using chi square test. The result showed that there was no relationship between the habits of consuming vegetables with the incidence of central obesity (ρ> 0.05) and there was no association between the habits of consuming fruit with the incidence of central obesity (ρ> 0.05).  It was important to provide counseling about the importance of eating fruits and vegetables so the obese can always control their weight and add insight to constantly adjust their diet.

The Appalachian region of the U.S. is disproportionately impacted by poverty, obesity, and nutrition-related chronic diseases. Evidence suggests that caregiver feeding practices may promote healthful eating behaviors among children; however, this has not been examined in low-income, rural, Appalachian populations. This study examines caregiver feeding practices as predictors for child diet in low-income Appalachian families, using a cross-sectional analysis of 178 caregivers of young children (ages 2–10 years old), that were recruited from low-income, rural communities in East Tennessee, from November 2017 to June 2018. Caregivers self-reported measures of demographics, feeding practices, and child dietary intake. Multiple linear regression analyses were run, and found that higher use of caregiver modeling positively predicted child vegetable consumption (Beta = 1.02; p = 0.04). Higher caregiver intake of fruits and vegetables positively predicted child fruit consumption (Beta = 0.29; p = 0.02) and vegetable consumption (Beta = 1.56; p < 0.001), respectively. Higher home availability of healthier foods positively predicted child fruit consumption (Beta = 0.06; p = 0.002) and vegetable consumption (Beta = 0.09; p = 0.05). Higher home availability of less healthy foods positively predicted child consumption of high-sugar/high-fat snack foods (Beta = 0.59; p = 0.003). The findings of this study indicate that caregiver modeling, healthy caregiver dietary intake, and healthful home food availability are associated with healthier child dietary intake among young children in low-income, rural, Appalachian areas. Promoting these practices among caregivers may be an important strategy to enhancing dietary intake of children in this hard-to-reach, underserved population.

Background and Aim. The knowledge about the health status of Somalis in Norway and Somaliland is limited. This paper reports the results of a comparative study on the prevalence and predictors of overweight/obesity among Somalis in Norway and Somaliland. Method. We conducted two cross-sectional studies using the same tools and procedures, between 2015 and 2016. The study population was adults aged 20–69 years (n=1110 (Somaliland) and n=220 (Norway)). Results. The prevalence of obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2) was 44% and 31% in women in Norway and Somaliland, respectively. In contrast, the prevalence of obesity was low in men (9% in Norway; 6% in Somaliland). Although the prevalence of high BMI was higher in Somali women in Norway than women in Somaliland, both groups had the same prevalence of central obesity (waist circumference (WC) ≥ 88 cm). In men, the prevalence of central obesity (WC ≥ 102 cm) was lower in Somaliland than in Norway. For women in Somaliland, high BMI was associated with lower educational level and being married. Conclusion. The prevalence of overweight and obesity is high among Somali immigrants in Norway, but also among women in Somaliland. The high prevalence of overweight and obesity, particularly among women, calls for long-term prevention strategies.

Many children do not meet current guidelines for physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption, two areas of health-related behavior with links to obesity. Objective: To examine child and parent perceptions of child proxy agency, home physical activity opportunity, and home accessibility of fruits and vegetables. Methods: Dyads (N = 117) of parents and children completed questionnaires for this cross-sectional study. Results: For child proxy agency, fruits and vegetables accessibility, and physical activity opportunity, the parent and child perceptions were significantly related. Parent ratings of physical activity opportunity and child proxy agency were significantly greater than child ratings. Perceptions of both parents and children for proxy agency were associated with fruits and vegetables accessibility and physical activity opportunity. Conclusions: Parents and children hold similar, yet distinct perceptions of physical activity opportunity and child proxy agency. Perceptions of child proxy agency are associated with obesity-related home environmental characteristics.

Abstract Introduction EUROASPIRE V was a cross-sectional survey carried out by the European Society of Cardiology, EURObservational Research Programme in 2016–2017 in 27 European countries Purpose To describe gender differences in lifestyle and risk factor management, and the use of cardioprotective drug therapies in patients with coronary heart disease in Europe. Methods Patients <80 years with coronary disease (CABG, PCI or an acute coronary syndrome) were identified from the hospital medical records and interviewed and examined by trained staff ≥6 months and ≤2 years later using standardized methods including central laboratory measurements. Results A total of 8,261 (25.8% females), mean age 63.6 (SD 9.6) were interviewed, with a median time between the index event and interview 1.12 years (IR 0.82–1.56). Women were older (mean age 65.4 years [SD 9.2] vs 63.0 [9.7] and had a lower level of education than men.Comparing women with men, the prevalence of the risk factors were as follows: current smoking 12.8% vs 20.7%,obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) 45.7% vs 34.9%, central obesity (waist circumference ≥102 cm in men or ≥88 cm in women) 78.0% vs 51.8%, raised blood pressure (BP ≥140/90 mmHg, ≥140/80 mmHg in patients with diabetes) 47.1% vs 46.0%, elevated LDL-cholesterol (≥1.8 mmol/l) 77.9% vs 68.5% and self reported diabetes 33.1% vs 28.0%. Reported use of prophylactic drug therapies for the same comparison was: antiplatelets 91.8% vs. 92.8%; beta-blockers 81.8% vs. 80.8%; ACE inhibitors/ARBs 75.0% vs. 75.3%; and statins 76.8% vs. 82.2%. The therapeutic control of blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol and diabetes (HbA1c <7 mmol/L) was: 48.2% vs 49.9%; 25.7% vs 34.1% and 48.5% vs 56.7%, respectively. Conclusions The results show that women with coronary disease have higher prevalence of obesity, central obesity, elevated LDL-cholesterol and self-reported diabetes than men. There were no differences in terms of blood pressure management. All coronary patients require professional support to make lifestyle changes and manage risk factors more effectivelyin order to reduce their risk of recurrent cardiovascular events.

AbstractObjective:To examine the contribution to fruit and vegetable eating in children of potential predictive variables within the domains of demographics, parental feeding practices and personality traits.Design:Cross-sectional survey.Setting:Questionnaires were distributed to parents through 22 London nursery schools.Subjects:Questionnaires were completed and returned by 564 parents or principal caregivers of 2–6-year-old children.Results:Significant predictors of children's fruit and vegetable intake emerged from all three domains examined. Demographic variables associated with child's vegetable consumption were mother's education and child's age and gender. Only ethnicity was significantly associated with fruit consumption. Parental consumption, breast-feeding and early introduction to fruit and vegetables were related to intake of both. Family mealtimes were associated with higher intake of vegetables, but not of fruit. Two characteristics of children themselves (food neophobia and enjoyment of food) were strongly related to the consumption of fruit and vegetables. Subsequent multivariate analyses revealed that parental intake and child food neophobia independently predicted intake of both foods. In the presence of these, fruit consumption was affected by breast-feeding and early introduction to fruit, whereas vegetable consumption was related only to child's gender and enjoyment of food.Conclusions:These findings may be used to inform future interventions aimed at increasing children's consumption of fruit and vegetables. Parents should be made aware of the possible impact of their own behaviour on the eating habits of their children.

Mothers who underwent bariatric surgery (BS) before pregnancy have worrisome eating habits, but little is known about the eating habits of their offspring. EFFECTOR is a cross-sectional, long-term follow-up study of 4–11-year-old children born from mothers that underwent bariatric surgery before pregnancy (n = 36), mothers with overweight/obesity (OW/OB) in a control group (n = 71), and mothers with a normal weight (NW) in a second control group (n = 35). Data on anthropometry and on eating habits obtained through a Food Frequency Questionnaire were collected prospectively. The children’s body mass index (BMI) scores significantly correlated with maternal pre-pregnancy BMI. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was the highest in children of the BS group (38.9% vs. 15.5% for children of the OW/OB group and 5.7% for those of the NW group; p = 0.004). Meal-skipping behavior was comparable between the groups. There was no difference in fruit and vegetable consumption. The BS group consumed more low-calorie sweetened beverages compared to the NW group (p = 0.01) but less fruit juice compared to the NW and OW/OB groups (p = 0.01). Our results may indicate a sugar-avoiding behavior in children of the BS group, fitting dietary maternal habits in a strategy to prevent dumping syndrome. In conclusion, maternal pre-pregnancy bariatric surgery does not alter unhealthy eating behaviors and the risk of development of overweight during childhood in their children.

AbstractObjectivesTo determine the relationship of diet to overweight and obesity among populations of African origin.Design and settingCross-sectional data were obtained from adults aged 25–74 years in rural Cameroon (n = 686), urban Cameroon (n = 975), Jamaica (n = 924) and Afro-Caribbeans in the UK (n = 257). Dietary data were collected using food-frequency questionnaires specifically designed for each site. Body mass index (BMI) was used as a measure of overweight.ResultsThe expected gradient in the distribution of overweight across sites was seen in females (rural Cameroon, 9.5%; urban Cameroon, 47.1%; Jamaica, 63.8%; UK, 71.6%); however, among males overweight was less prevalent in Jamaica (22.0%) than urban Cameroon (36.3%). In developing countries increased risks of overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg m− 2) were influenced by higher energy (urban Cameroonian men) and protein (Jamaican women) intakes. No dietary variables were associated with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg m− 2) in Cameroon or Jamaica. In the UK, energy intakes were inversely related with overweight whereas increased risks of being overweight were associated with higher protein (men) and fat (women) intakes. Similarly, whereas higher protein and fat intakes in UK men and women were associated with obesity, carbohydrate intakes were associated with decreased risks of obesity in men.ConclusionsDiet and overweight were associated in the UK but few dietary variables were related to overweight in Jamaica and the Cameroon. These findings suggest that associations between diet and overweight/obesity are not generalisable among populations.
