Abstract Background During the 1990s, global eating habits changed, affecting poorer and middle-income nations, as well richer countries. This shift, known “obesity transition,” led to more people becoming overweight or obese worldwide. In Ecuador, this change is happening, now, one in three children affected by obesity (OW/OB). study explores links between social, economic, demographic factors childhood seeking provide insights for shaping future health policies response intricate shift. Methods A cross-sectional using 2018 National Health Nutrition Survey data from Ecuador. Weighted percentages were computed, odds ratios OW/OB unadjusted adjusted each category of explanatory variables estimated multilevel multivariate logistic regression models. Results Among 10,807 Ecuadorian school aged 5 11, prevalence was 36.0%. Males exhibited 1.26 times higher than females (95% CI: 1.20 1.33), additional year age increased 1.10 1.09 1.10). Economic quintiles indicated (1.17 1.39) 2nd 5th quintile (the richest) compared with first poorest). Larger household size slightly reduced (adjusted ratio [aOR]=0.93, 95% 0.91 0.95), while regular physical activity decreased ([aOR]=0.79, 0.75 0.82). The consumption school-provided meals showed a non-significant reduction (aOR: 0.93, 0.82 1.06). Children families recognizing processed food labels had likelihood being (aOR=1.14, 1.02 1.26). Conclusion Age, male gender, economic increase children. households decrease risks. Ecuador needs healthy schools homes, focusing on health, protection, good habits.

Abstract A global transformation of food systems is needed, given their impact on the three interconnected pandemics undernutrition, obesity and climate change. scoping review was conducted to synthesise effectiveness system policies/interventions improve nutrition, nutrition inequalities environmental sustainability, identify double- or triple-duty potentials (their tackling simultaneously two all these outcomes). When available, effects nutritional vulnerabilities women’s empowerment were described. The studied derived from a compilation international recommendations. literature search according PRISMA extension for reviews. total 196 reviews included in analysis. interventions identified sustainable agriculture practices school programmes. Labelling, reformulation, in-store nudging fiscal measures showed double-duty potential across outcomes. Labelling also incentivises reformulation by industry. Some (i.e., programmes, measures) reduce socio-economic differences diets, whereas labelling may be more effective among women higher groups. trade-off that healthy provision increase waste. Overall, multi-component found most inequalities. Policies combining sustainability objectives are few mainly information type labelling). Little evidence available policies/interventions’ effect empowerment. Current research fails provide good-quality policies/interventions, particular supply chains domain. Research fill this knowledge gap needed.

Abstract Purpose To describe adherence to sustainable healthy diets among a sample of 958 Chilean pre-schoolers (3–6 years) and explore associations between child maternal sociodemographic anthropometric characteristics. Methods Children’s was calculated from single multiple-pass 24-h dietary recalls using the Planetary Health Diet Index for children adolescents (PHDI-C). Higher PHDI-C scores (max score = 150 points) represent greater adherence. Adjusted linear regression models were fitted Results Children obtained low total (median 50.0 [IQR 39.5–59.8] points). This resulted consumption nuts & peanuts , legumes vegetables, whole cereals, vegetable oils ; lack balance dark green red orange vegetables inadequate tubers potatoes eggs white meats excess dairy products palm oil added sugars . Mean significantly higher (50.6 [95%CI 49.6, 51.7] vs 47.3 45.0, 49.5]) whose mothers ≥ 25 years compared those with younger mothers. Positive observed fruits education, age, weight status, while negative education. Scores component lower girls. Conclusion Adherence this associated being younger.

Objective To systematically review, describe, and compare quantitative measures of community engagement in obesity HIV prevention research. Materials & Methods A systematic review adhering to PRISMA PROSPERO guidelines was conducted, searching seven databases. Screening quality assessment were carried out by four reviewers independently. Studies included if they explicitly used for or quantitatively measured engagement. Extracted data descriptions engagement, measurement constructs, statistical results. Results Of 8922 studies screened title abstract 1326 full text, 13 from 42 prevention. The a range terms highlighting differing approaches challenges measurement. Quantitative varied across the studies. When change over time analyzed, an increase generally found, when association between health tested, positive found. Conclusion Despite diverse approaches, drawing parallels offers new pathways strengthen evaluations through iteration existing two fields.

Abstract Aim Community-based obesity prevention interventions (CBOPIs) target the causes of obesity. Actions implemented in CBOPIs could simultaneously impact both climate change and obesity, making them a potentially important approach. To date, limited work has been undertaken to identify categorise double-duty actions (those that influence change) CBOPIs. The prevalence is currently unknown. This paper outlines development application DoublE-duty CommunIty-baSed InterVEntions (DECISIVE) framework address this gap. Subjects methods A scoping review focusing on was performed, results informed DECISIVE. DECISIVE applied studies included Cochrane children, published unpublished data completed intervention. Results identified one study systematic which contributed lists nine actions, plus an ‘Other’ action. Each action’s potential summarised example strategies are provided. Reduce availability consumption ultra-processed foods most prevalent action when applying studies. Conclusion first recognise holds implications for community stakeholders who may be able better identify, incorporate, promote actions. enhance stakeholder acceptability, feasibility, value-for-money interventions.
