Diminishing benefits of urban living for children and adolescents growth and de...
Padez, Cristina P.; Machado-Rodrigues, Aristides M.; Mota-Pinto, Anabela; Muc, Magdalena; Nogueira, Helena; Rodrigues, Daniela; et al.Optimal growth and development in childhood and adolescence is crucial for lifelong health and well-being1–6. Here we used data from 2,325 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight from 71 million participants, to report the height and body-mass index (BMI) of children and adolescents aged 5–19 years on the basis of rural and urban place of residence in 200 countries and territories from ...

Heterogeneous contributions of change in population distribution of body mass i...
Nogueira, Helena; Padez, Cristina; Rodrigues, Daniela; Machado-Rodrigues, Aristides M.; Mota-Pinto, Anabela; Muc, MagdalenaFrom 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies wi...

NCD Risk Factor Collaboration; Ornelas, RuiBackground Hypertension can be detected at the primary health-care level and low-cost treatments can effectively control hypertension. We aimed to measure the prevalence of hypertension and progress in its detection, treatment, and control from 1990 to 2019 for 200 countries and territories. Methods We used data from 1990 to 2019 on people aged 30–79 years from population-representative studies with measurement...

Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents...
NCD Risk Factor Collaboration; Ornelas, RuiBackground Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. 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 collate...
Repositioning of the global epicentre of non-optimal cholesterol
NCD Risk Factor Collaboration; Ornelas, RuiHigh blood cholesterol is typically considered a feature of wealthy western countries1,2 . However, dietary and behavioural determinants of blood cholesterol are changing rapidly throughout the world3 and countries are using lipid-lowering medications at varying rates. These changes can have distinct effects on the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol, which have differen...
Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global obesity epidemic ...
NCD Risk Factor Collaboration; Ornelas, RuiBody-mass index (BMI) has increased steadily in most countries in parallel with a rise in the proportion of the population who live in cities1,2 . This has led to a widely reported view that urbanization is one of the most important drivers of the global rise in obesity3–6 . Here we use 2,009 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight in more than 112 million adults, to report national, re...
Contributions of mean and shape of blood pressure distribution to worldwide tre...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-06-01; Wellcome Trust; Background: Change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure could be due to both shifts in the entire distribution of blood pressure (representing the combined effects of public health interventions and secular trends) and changes in its high-blood-pressure tail (representing successfu...
