Objective. To describe food expenditure and consumption of foods prepared away from home among Mexican adults. Materials and methods. Data were from 45 241 adult participants in the National Health and Nutrition Survey 2006,a nationally-representative, cross-sectional survey of Mexican households. Descriptive statistics and multivariable linear and logistic regression were used to assess the relationship between location of residence, educational attainment, socioeconomic status and the following: 1) expenditure on all food and at restaurants, and 2) frequency of consumption of comida corrida or restaurant food and street food. Results. Food expenditure and consumption of food prepared away from home were positively associated with socioeconomicstatus, educational attainment, and urban vs. rural residence (p<0.001 for all relationships in bivariate analyses). Conclusions. Consumption of food prepared outside home may be an important part of the diet among urban Mexican adults and those with high socioeconomic status and educational attainment.

SUMMARYSerum samples collected during the National Health and Nutrition survey (ENSANUT 2006) were obtained from subjects aged 1–95 years (January–October 2010) and analysed to assess the seroprevalence ofBordetella pertussis(BP) in Mexico. Subjects' gender, age, geographical region and socioeconomic status were extracted from the survey and compiled into a subset database. A total of 3344 subjects (median age 29 years, range 1–95 years) were included in the analysis. Overall, BP seroprevalence was 47·4%. BP seroprevalence was significantly higher in males (53·4%,P = 0·0007) and highest in children (59·3%) decreasing with advancing age (P = 0·0008). BP seroprevalence was not significantly different between regions (P = 0·1918) and between subjects of socioeconomic status (P = 0·0808). Women, adolescents and young adults were identified as potential sources of infection to infants. Booster vaccination for adolescents and primary contacts (including mothers) for newborns and infants may provide an important public health intervention to reduce the disease burden.

Abstract Objectives We examined the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and comorbidity distribution among patients with RA. Methods Information on comprehensive health status of 1088 RA patients (weighted n = 612 303) was obtained from the 2007–2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database. SES components were household equivalence income, education and area of residence. To minimize confounding by age, patients were stratified by median age (63 years). Age-adjusted odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was estimated, comparing weighted prevalence of individual comorbidities between low and high SES groups in each age stratum. Results Among RA patients aged <63 years (mean 49 years, 70% female), we observed age-adjusted associations of depression (OR 2.13, 95% CI 1.01, 4.53), depressive mood (OR 2.68, 95% CI 1.54, 4.65), suicide ideation (OR 3.01, 95% CI 1.79, 5.07), diabetes (OR 3.09, 95%CI 1.31, 7.29), obesity (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.30, 3.20), hypertriglyceridemia (OR 2.36, 95% CI 1.28, 4.34) and osteoarthritis (OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.13, 3.99) with low income, of suicide ideation with low education (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.14, 4.44), but no association of any comorbidities with area of residence. Unhealthy behavior patterns were comparable between low- and high-income groups but patients with low income reported a numerically higher rate of failed access to necessary healthcare services. We did not find any association between SES and comorbidities among those aged ⩾63 years (mean 72 years, 83% female). Conclusion Among Korean RA patients aged <63 years, socioeconomic inequalities of multiple comorbidities in mental, cardiometabolic and musculoskeletal systems were found.

The study aimed to estimate the prevalence and correlates of overweight and obesity among adults in Iraq. Data from a 2015 nationally representative cross-sectional survey of 3,916 persons 18 years and older were analysed that responded to a questionnaire, physical and biochemical measures. Multinomial logistic regression was utilized to predict determinants of overweight and obesity relative to under or normal weight. Results indicate that 3.6% of the participants were underweight (BMI &lt;18.5 kg/m&sup2;), 30.8% had normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m&sup2;), 31.8% were overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m&sup2;), and 33.9% had obesity (BMI &ge; 30.0 kg/m&sup2;). In adjusted multinomial logistic regression, aged 40-49 years (Adjusted Relative Risk Ratio-ARRR: 4.47, Confidence Interval-CI: 3.39-5.91), urban residence (ARRR: 1.28, CI: 1.14-2.18), hypertension (ARRR: 3.13, CI: 2.36-4.17) were positively, and male sex (ARRR: 0.47, CI: 0.33-0.68), having more than primary education (ARRR: 0.69, CI: 0.50-0.94), and larger household size (&ge;5 members) (ARRR: 0.45, CI: 0.33-0.60) were negativey associated with obesity. About two in three adult participants were overweight/obese, and sociodemographic and health risk factors were found that can be utilized in targeting interventions.

Socioeconomic status affects food choices. This study examined the relationships between socioeconomic status (SES) and animal and plant protein intake in the Korean elderly population whose protein intake is insufficient. We used cross-sectional data from 3512 Koreans aged 60 years or older, who had participated in the Nutrition Survey of the 2013–14 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). One day 24-h recall data was used to estimate the daily total, animal, and plant protein intake. Household income and educational attainment were assessed by trained interviewers. After making adjustment, household income was positively associated with animal protein intake with a statistical significance in females (p = 0.030) and with a marginal significance in males (p = 0.069). However, plant protein intake did not show any significant association. In both sexes, educational attainment was positively associated with animal protein intake (p = 0.007 for males, p = 0.001 for females). Association of educational attainment with plant protein intake was negative in males (p = 0.037) and non-significant in females. (p = 0.945). High SES was associated with higher total protein intake and animal protein intake in the Korean elderly. Health policies and nutrition education are needed to improve protein intake of the vulnerable Korean elderly with low SES.

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and correlates of overweight and obesity among adults in Iraq. Data from a 2015 nationally representative cross-sectional survey of 3916 persons 18 years or older (M (median) age = 40 years, IQR (interquartile range) age = 29–52 years; men: M = 41 years, IQR = 29–54 years; women: M = 40 years, IQR = 30–51 years) who responded to a questionnaire, and physical and biochemical measures were analysed. Multinomial logistic regression was utilised to predict the determinants of overweight and obesity relative to under or normal weight. The results indicate that 3.6% of the participants were underweight (body mass index (BMI) <18.5 kg/m2), 30.8% had normal weight (BMI 18.5–24.9 kg/m2), 31.8% were overweight (25.0–29.9 kg/m2), and 33.9% had obesity (BMI ≥30.0 kg/m2). In the adjusted multinomial logistic regression, being aged 40–49 years (compared to 18–39 years old) (adjusted relative risk ratio (ARRR): 4.47, confidence interval (CI): 3.39–5.91), living in an urban residence (ARRR: 1.28, CI: 1.14–2.18), and having hypertension (ARRR: 3.13, CI: 2.36–4.17) were positively associated with obesity. Being male (ARRR: 0.47, CI: 0.33–0.68), having more than primary education (ARRR: 0.69, CI: 0.50–0.94), and having a larger household size (five members or more) (ARRR: 0.45, CI: 0.33–0.60) were negatively associated with obesity. Approximately two in three adult participants were overweight/obese, and sociodemographic and health risk factors were found that can be utilised in targeting interventions.

AbstractObjectiveTo study the association between density of stores (food and beverage stores, stores selling only fruits and vegetables, and supermarkets) and the BMI of adults aged ≥20 years in Mexico.DesignA cross-sectional study was performed. Individual data came from the 2012 National Health and Nutrition Survey, while information on stores was taken from the National Institute of Geography and Statistics’ National Statistics Directory of Economic Units. A weighted least-squares model was estimated to test the association between density of stores and BMI of adults adjusting for sex, age, education, presence of hypertension, diabetes or both, household assets index and marginality index at the municipality level.SettingMexico.ResultsAn additional 1 sd in the density of fruit and vegetable stores was associated with a reduction of 0·24 (95 % CI −0·37, −0·12) kg/m2 in BMI when the densities of the other stores were at their mean values. For food and beverage store density, a difference of 1 sd was associated with an increase of 0·50 (95 % CI 0·33, 0·67) kg/m2 in BMI, while for supermarkets the corresponding association was a reduction of 0·48 (95 % CI −1·52, 0·56) kg/m2 in BMI.ConclusionsIn places with a higher density of stores that offer unhealthy foods, the BMI of adults tends to be higher.

Background. A cross-sectional survey was designed to provide a baseline data on the prevalence and distribution of overweight and obesity and their associations among adults in Palestine.Methods. A random representative sample of 3617 adults aged 18–64 years was collected between October 1999 and October 2000.Results. The prevalence of overweight was 35.5% in women and 40.3% in men, obesity was 31.5% in women and 17.5% in men. Adults aged 45–54 years old were significantly more likely to be obese (29.2% in men and 50.2% in women) or overweight (48.1% in men and 37.2% in women). When compared with women, men showed significantly more normal BMI level (40.5% versus 31.6%;P<0.05). Cut-off points for a high waist circumference and high waist-to-hip ratio identified 57.8% and 47.2% of the population, respectively, to be at an increased and high risk for cardiovascular disease. Sociodemographic factors (age, sex, educational level, and marital status) were also found to be significantly related to BMI.Conclusion. Obesity and overweight are enormous public health problems in Palestine. Population-based research at the national level to investigate the social and cultural factors associated with high prevalence of overweight and obesity among Palestinian adults should be implemented.

Abstract Objectives We aimed to investigate the association of dietary energy intake or obesity with the prevalence of hypertension, and explored the potential mediators in this relationship. Methods We conducted a comprehensive and in-depth assessment in the cross-sectional survey of the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) four cross-sectional cohorts (2005–2006, 2007–2008, 2009–2010, and 2011–2012) of 17,746 participants aged 20–74 years, and validated the significant findings in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS, 2004–2011) of 31,582 subjects. We validated whether insulin resistance (IR), fasting glucose (FG), total cholesterol (TC) or triglyceride (TG) levels could play a mediation role in the association of dietary energy intake or obesity with hypertension. Results We found that the relationship between dietary energy intake and prevalence of hypertension in the NHANES is U-shaped (P for quadratic = 0.002). Compared to the participants in the third quintile category of dietary energy intake, the multivariable odds radios (OR) in the first and fifth quintile category were 1.33 (1.10–1.61) and 1.13 (0.96–1.33), respectively. We observed the prevalence of hypertension in obese and abdominal obesity participants were both significantly higher than normal subjects (all P-values < 0.001), the multivariable ORs in NHANES is 3.23 (2.78–3.76) and 2.31 (2.08–2.57), in CHNS is 4.78 (4.31–5.30) and 2.71 (2.54–2.90). Mediation analyses consistently indicated that the associations between obesity and abdominal obesity with hypertension were mediated mainly by IR as measured by the homeostasis model (HOMA2-IR), followed by FG, TG and TC in the two studies. The proportions via the mediation of insulin/HOMA2-IR was 28.41∼36.74%, FG was 10.43∼12.63%, TG was 6.24∼8.55% and TC was 0.57∼0.66%, respectively. Conclusions In this study, the relationships between obesity and abdominal obesity with the risk of hypertension were both significantly positive. Meanwhile, consuming more and less dietary energy were both risk factors of hypertension.

Background:Nationally representative normative values for cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) have not been described for US children since the mid 1980s.Objective:To provide sex- and age-specific normative values for CRF of US children aged 6–11 years.Methods:Data from 624 children aged 6–11 years who participated in the CRF testing as part of the 2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey National Youth Fitness Survey, a cross-sectional survey, were analyzed. Participants were assigned to one of three age-specific protocols and asked to exercise to volitional fatigue. The difficulty of the protocols increased with successive age groups. CRF was assessed as maximal endurance time (min:sec). Data analysis was conducted in 2016.Results:For 6–7, 8–9, 10–11 year olds, corresponding with the age-specific protocols, mean endurance time was 12:10 min:sec (95% CI: 11:49–12:31), 11:16 min:sec (95% CI: 11:00–11:31), and 10:01 min:sec (95% CI: 9:37–10:25), respectively. Youth in the lowest 20th percentile for endurance time were more likely to be obese, to report less favorable health, and to report greater than two hours of screen time per day.Conclusions:These data may serve as baseline estimates to monitor trends over time in CRF among US children aged 6–11 years.

ObjectiveTo explore the association between urbanicity and hyperuricaemia (HUA) and whether urbanicity is an independent risk factor for HUA in Chinese adults.DesignData analysis from a cross-sectional survey.Setting and participants8579 subjects aged 18 years or older were enrolled in the study from the 2009 wave of the China Health and Nutrition Survey to analyse the association between urbanicity and HUA. We divided them into three categories according to urbanisation index (low, medium and highly urbanised groups).Main outcome measuresHUA was defined as serum uric acid ≥7 mg/dL in men and ≥6 mg/dL in women.ResultsThe prevalence of HUA in low, medium and highly urbanised groups was 12.2%, 14.6% and 19.8%, respectively. The independent factors influencing serum uric acid included age, gender, hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, drinking, obesity and community-level urbanisation index (β=0.016, p<0.001). The risk of HUA in the highly urbanised group was significantly higher than that of the low urbanised group (OR 1.771, 95% CI 1.545 to 2.029, p<0.001), even after adjusting for other covariates (OR 1.661, 95% CI 1.246 to 2.212, p=0.001). In a subgroup analysis, we found that age, gender, comorbidity (such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity and chronic kidney disease) and physical activity affected the association between urbanisation and the risk of HUA.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that living in highly urbanised areas is linked with higher risk of HUA independent of cardiometabolic and health-related behavioural risk factors, which have been shown to increase along with urbanisation.
