The long‐term implications of these conditions underscore the need for targeted interventions during childhood adolescence periods when behaviors strongly influenced by external factors such as school, neighborhood, peers, family. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate relationship between physical activity (PA), education (PE), overweight/obesity school‐aged (ages 9–17) Pakistan investigate their impact on within this population. Methods: A population‐based cross‐sectional was conducted with a multistage random cluster sample 4108 from seven districts Punjab, Pakistan. were assessed using World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Statistical analyses, χ 2 tests, Pearson correlation, linear regression, logistic performed examine predictive characteristics covariates dichotomous outcomes. significance set at p < 0.05, 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: included students (mean age = 13.92 years, 59.3% boys). 10.7% overweight 19.4%. significant portion students—83.8% girls 70.0% boys—did not engage least 60 min moderate vigorous (MVPA) more than days per week.

We aimed to determine the epidemiological trend and age-period-cohort effects on CVD burden attributable dietary risks high body mass index (BMI) across China Pakistan from 1990 2019. Methods Data all-ages age-specific burden, age-standardized mortality disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates were obtained Global Burden Disease Study Joinpoint regression analysis was conducted find temporal trends (APC) modeling used estimate age, period, cohort burden. Results Between 2019, BMI increased by ~2-3-fold in 3-5-fold Pakistan. The diet-related rate (ASMR) significantly decreased but Both countries showed a marked increasing ASMR DALYs BMI. Taiwan remarkable reduction However, Pakistan, all regions observed modifiable factors. A higher ratio premature (&lt;70 years) among Chinese Pakistani risks.

Purpose: The association between Unhealthy Behaviors (Smoking, Drinking Alcohol, and Tobacco Use) body mass index (BMI) is a significant public health concern due to their roles as preventable risk factors for cardiovascular disease various other conditions. Despite numerous previous studies, no consensus has emerged regarding the effect of on BMI. Therefore, we conducted novel study evaluate relationship BMI in Pakistani school-aged children adolescents aged 9 17 years. Methods: A cross-sectional was involving 4108 schoolchildren years from 62 schools across seven districts central Punjab province. Body categories were defined using CDC US 2000 growth charts: underweight 85th < 95th percentile, obese equal or greater than percentile. Chi-square test employed analyze categorical variables, Pearson correlation coefficient (r) used determine correlations. 95% confidence intervals (CI) calculated, statistical significance set at p 0.05. Results: prevalence weight, overweight, obesity among participants 19.4%, 10.7%, respectively. Smoking within last 7 days showed an odds ratio (OR) 1.79 (95% CI: 0.91-3.55) overweight status, while use tobacco products cigarettes demonstrated OR 1.61 1.03-2.52) overweight. alcohol associated with 2.78 0.43-5.05) obesity. Witnessing someone smoke front students three more 0.90 0.76-1.07) Additionally, having father male guardian who smokes higher ratios 1.21 1.02-1.44). Conclusion: This sheds light alarming adolescents, emphasizing need urgent intervention. Nonetheless, it reassuring find relatively low rates smoking consumption this demographic. majority are not involved these unhealthy behaviors, importantly, associations observed behaviors weight status.
