NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC); Ornelas, RuiBackground 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 m...

General and abdominal adiposity and hypertension in eight world regions: a pool...
NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC); Brito, MiguelBackground: Adiposity can be measured using BMI (which is based on weight and height) and indices of abdominal adiposity. We examined the association between BMI and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) within and across populations of different world regions. We quantified how well these two metrics discriminate between people with and without hypertension. Methods: We used data from studies carried out from 1990 to 2...
Worldwide trends in diabetes prevalence and treatment from 1990 to 2022: a pool...
NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC); Brito, MiguelBackground: Diabetes can be detected at the primary health-care level, and effective treatments lower the risk of complications. There is insufficient data on the coverage of treatment for diabetes and how it has changed. We estimated trends from 1990 to 2022 in diabetes prevalence and treatment for 200 countries and territories. Methods: We used data from 1108 population-representative studies with 141 million...

NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC); Ornelas, RuiOptimal 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...
Global variation in diabetes diagnosis and prevalence based on fasting glucose ...
NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC); Ornelas, RuiFasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are both used to diagnose diabetes, but these measurements can identify diferent people as having diabetes. We used data from 117 population-based studies and quantifed, in diferent world regions, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes, and whether those who were previously undiagnosed and detected as having diabetes in survey screening, had elevated FPG, Hb...

NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC); Brito, MiguelBackground: Hypertension can be detected at the primary healthcare 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 measuremen...
