摘要

背景:五岁以下儿童超重/肥胖是一个日益受到全球关注的问题,特别是在低收入和中等收入国家,但关于这一负担的综合证据仍然有限,这对有针对性的干预措施至关重要。本综述综合了来自社区研究的数据,以估计该人群中超重/肥胖的总体和个人汇总患病率,并探讨了相关因素。方法:检索PubMed, Scopus和EMBASE,筛选2014年4月至2024年4月期间由两位研究人员分别发表的符合条件的研究。使用乔安娜布里格斯研究所(JBI)工具对合格研究进行质量评估。提取了这些纳入研究中报告的有关超重、肥胖患病率及其相关因素的数据,包括产妇教育程度、居住地区、产妇体重、家庭收入和母乳喂养做法。meta分析采用随机效应模型,采用I2统计量评估异质性。通过亚组分析,比较不同地理区域、超重/肥胖测量指南、样本量和出版年份的效应量,探讨异质性的来源。meta回归评估了这些变量与汇总估计值之间的关系。结果:在筛选的13734项研究中,21项符合纳入条件。中低收入国家5岁以下儿童超重/肥胖的总患病率为8.57%(95%可信区间(CI) 5.24-12.63, p值为I2 100%)。结论:中低收入国家儿童营养过剩的趋势令人担忧,总体患病率接近少数高收入国家报告的估计值。地理差异、性别差异以及与孕产妇教育的关联都强调需要制定针对特定区域的政策,重点是社区参与和对日益严重的营养过剩问题的认识。

Prevalence of Overweight/Obesity Among Under-Five Children in Lower Middle-Income Countries and Assessment of the Reported Associated Factors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Overweight/obesity among children under five is a growing global concern, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet consolidated evidence of this burden remains limited, which is crucial to target interventions. This review synthesises data from community-based studies to estimate the overall and individual pooled prevalences of overweight/obesity in this population and explores the factors associated.

Methodology: PubMed, Scopus and EMBASE were searched and screened for eligible studies published between April 2014 and 2024 individually by two researchers. Quality assessment of the eligible studies was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool. Data regarding the prevalence of overweight, obesity and their associated factors, including maternal education, area of residence, maternal body weight, household incomes and breastfeeding practices, as reported in these included studies, were extracted. A random-effect model was used for the meta-analysis, and heterogeneity was evaluated using I2 statistics. Sources of heterogeneity were explored through subgroup analyses comparing effect sizes across categories of geographic regions, overweight/obesity measurement guidelines, sample sizes and publication years. Meta-regression assessed the relationship between these variables and the pooled estimates.

Results: Of the 13 734 studies screened, 21 were eligible for inclusion. The pooled prevalence of overweight/obesity among the under-five children in LMICs was 8.57% (95% confidence interval (CI) 5.24-12.63, I2 100% at p value < 0.01) with significant heterogeneity. Overnutrition prevalence increased from 7.43% during the 5 years of 2014-2018 to 9.12% during 2019-2023. The pooled prevalence of overweight/obesity varied significantly across geography, with the highest prevalence in the African region (17%) and the lowest in the Southeast Asian region (3.41%). Across the four studies that reported maternal education, children of mothers with secondary school education or higher had increased odds of having overweight/obesity [Odds Ratio (OR) (95% CI): 1.51 (1.21-1.88)]. Prevalence estimates also differed significantly by gender, with 6.89% for under-five boys and 4.75% for girls [OR (95% CI): 1.48 (1.08-2.04)]. Although individual studies reported significant associations with other factors such as area of residence, maternal body weight, income status and breastfeeding practices, a meta-analysis could not be performed due to heterogeneity.

Conclusion: Trends in childhood overnutrition in LMICs are concerning, with overall prevalence approaching estimates of those reported in a few high-income nations. Geographic variability, gender disparity and association with maternal education emphasise the need for region-specific policies, focusing on community engagement and awareness towards rising overnutrition.

期刊介绍: Pediatric Obesity is a peer-reviewed, monthly journal devoted to research into obesity during childhood and adolescence. The topic is currently at the centre of intense interest in the scientific community, and is of increasing concern to health policy-makers and the public at large. Pediatric Obesity has established itself as the leading journal for high quality papers in this field, including, but not limited to, the following: Genetic, molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of obesity – basic, applied and clinical studies relating to mechanisms of the development of obesity throughout the life course and the consequent effects of obesity on health outcomes Metabolic consequences of child and adolescent obesity Epidemiological and population-based studies of child and adolescent overweight and obesity Measurement and diagnostic issues in assessing child and adolescent adiposity, physical activity and nutrition Clinical management of children and adolescents with obesity including studies of treatment and prevention Co-morbidities linked to child and adolescent obesity – mechanisms, assessment, and treatment Life-cycle factors eg familial, intrauterine and developmental aspects of child and adolescent obesity Nutrition security and the "double burden" of obesity and malnutrition Health promotion strategies around the issues of obesity, nutrition and physical activity in children and adolescents Community and public health measures to prevent overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.
