Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: a pooled analysi...
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...

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; 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...
