Robinson, L; Roccaldo, R; Rodrigues, D; Rodriguez Perez, MdC; Rodríguez Villamizar, LA; Rodríguez, AY; Roggenbuck, U; Rohloff, P; Rohner, FBackground: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. Methods: We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that...

Social isolation was operationalised using objective indicators - living alone, marital status, lei...

We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which measures weight gain beyond what is expected from height gain, for school-aged children and adolescents. Methods: For this pooled analysis, we used a database of cardiometabolic risk factors colla...

Linear spline multilevel modelling is a useful approach for deriving individual summary measures of growth, which overcomes several data issues (co-linearity of repeat measures, the requirement for all individuals to be measured at the same ages and bias due to missi...
