Background: Malnutrition remains a significant public health concern in Pakistan, affecting physical and cognitive development children. Motor development, critical marker of early growth, is particularly vulnerable to nutritional deficits, with stunting, wasting, micronutrient deficiencies contributing delays.Objective: To assess the impact malnutrition on motor Pakistani children aged 4 6 years.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 116 4–6 years from slum areas Lahore. Nutritional status was assessed using Weight-for-Age Z-scores (WAZ) Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) based WHO standards. evaluated Motor-Proficiency-Test for (MOT 4-6), focusing gross skills, fine body coordination. Data were analyzed SPSS version 25, chi-square tests applied associations (p<0.05).Results: The mean age 48.26 ± 7.42 months, 42.2% male 57.8% female participants. Among them, 44.0% underweight (WAZ < -2) 55.2% had moderate acute (MUAC 115–124 mm). delayed 24.1% borderline 37.1%.

Abstract Aims Obesity is a global public health challenge, and the traditional WHO‐proposed diagnostic criteria based on body mass index (BMI) often fail to fully assess related risks. The European Association for Study of (EASO) has proposed new that combine BMI, waist‐to‐height ratio (WtHR) complications more accurately evaluate obesity‐related Materials Methods This study utilized data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey database, covering years 1999–2018. validated EASO diagnosing obesity, defined as BMI ≥25 kg/m 2 , WtHR ≥0.5 presence 12 complications. associations between obesity mortality were assessed using Kaplan–Meier survival curves Cox proportional hazards regression analyses. Mediation analysis was conducted explore potential mechanisms by which impacts patient prognosis. Results A total 39 066 participants included, with mean age 43.6 years; 51.3% male. Over median follow‐up period 141 months, 3708 deaths recorded. prevalence 63.04% according criteria. rate ≥30 only 35.55%. achieved C‐index 0.5549, surpasses predictive accuracy criterion, 0.5265. indicated when criterion diagnose it associated all‐cause cardiovascular disease (CVD)‐related mortality, but did not predict cancer‐related mortality. diagnosed significantly an increased risk (hazard [HR] 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13 [1.02, 1.24]), CVD (HR CI: 1.48 [1.20, 1.83]) cancer 1.26 [1.03, 1.54]).
