In Nigeria, a prevalence of obesity of 4.2% has been reported among adolescents in a study in South-West Nigeria. Studies on the prevalence of obesity among adolescents have yielded different prevalence rates in different parts of the country. The present study was planned to determine the prevalence of obesity amongst apparently healthy adolescents aged 10-18 years in secondary schools in Uyo, as well as determine associated predisposing factors to obesity. This was a cross sectional school-based study of 1,701 adolescents selected by multi-stage sampling technique, carried out between December 2016 to February 2018. It involved measurement of weight, height and waist circumference of the study subjects, as well as administration of pretested questionnaires. Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Circumference (WC) percentile and waist to height ratio of the subjects were determined. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20. Prevalence of obesity was determined and Chi Square was used to determine the relationship between qualitative variables. General obesity was defined as a BMI ≥95th percentile, while central obesity was defined as WtHR ≥0.5 or waist circumference ≥90th percentile for age and sex. Prevalence of general obesity was 5.6% while the prevalence of central obesity was 11.2% using WC percentile and 9% using WHtR. This study also revealed higher prevalence of obesity in females, adolescents from monogamous homes, as well as those whose parents are from the upper socio-class. It is recommended that routine measurement of the indices of adiposity and public health enlightenment measures aimed at reducing the burden of obesity amongst adolescents in Uyo be encouraged by public health authorities. The physicians should be encouraged to measure the indices of adiposity during consultations.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a difficult health problem to overcome. Active case finding is an important step in managing this infectious disease. However, the prevalence of TB case finding among cadres at the community level is low because of the stigma attached to TB, difficulty in geographical coverage, low public awareness, and social economic barriers. In addition, the empowerment and intention of cadres to perform community-based TB case finding are not optimal yet. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the intention of TB case finding among 162 public health cadres at one district. Convenient sampling technique was employed in this study. Relationship analyses were performed using Chi-Square test. Results suggested that three factors, namely, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control influenced the intention to practice TB case finding among cadres. Public health care providers must encourage cadres to practice active TB case finding and understand the benefits and burdens encountered by cadres during TB case finding. Abstrak Praktik Penemuan Kasus Tuberkulosis: Niat Kader. Tuberkulosis (TB) masih menjadi masalah kesehatan yang sulit diatasi.
