研究背景青少年饥饿和肥胖是严重的公共卫生问题;目的从全球的角度确定肥胖和饥饿是否在青少年中共存。方法我们分析了142 565名青少年的数据结果中度和重度饥饿的总患病率分别为22.32%和7.8%，非洲最高（分别为29.14%和12.14%），美洲最低（分别为16.83%和5.31%）。严重饥饿青少年的肥胖患病率是不饥饿青少年的1.26倍（95%置信区间[CI]：1.15-1.38）;然而，这种关联在不同国家或地区有所不同。此外，肥胖的患病率为17%（95% CI：1.04-1.29）高收入国家中中度饥饿的青春期女孩更高，91%（95% CI：1.23-2.58）低收入国家中严重饥饿的青少年和54%（95%CI：1.34-1.76）在中低收入国家高于那些没有hungs.ConclusionsBoth肥胖和饥饿共存的青少年人口在世界范围内。我们的研究结果强调，需要采取双重责任行动，同时解决青少年饥饿和肥胖的负担。
BackgroundHunger and obesity among young adolescents are serious public health issues; however, the relationship between these issues in this demographic has yet to be examined.ObjectiveTo determine whether both obesity and hunger coexist in young adolescents from a global perspective.MethodsWe analysed data of 142 565 adolescents (age, 12–15 years) from 60 countries from the Global School‐based Student Health Survey.ResultsTotal prevalence of moderate and severe hunger was 22.32% and 7.8%, respectively—with the highest in Africa (29.14% and 12.14%, respectively) and the lowest in the Americas (16.83% and 5.31%, respectively). The prevalence of obesity among adolescents with severe hunger was 1.26 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15–1.38) times the prevalence among those without hunger; however, this association varied across countries or regions. Moreover, the prevalence of obesity was 17% (95% CI: 1.04–1.29) higher in adolescent girls with moderate hunger in high‐income countries, 91% (95% CI: 1.23–2.58) higher in adolescents with severe hunger in low‐income countries and 54% (95% CI: 1.34–1.76) higher in lower middle–income countries compared to those without hunger.ConclusionsBoth obesity and hunger coexist in adolescent populations worldwide. Our findings emphasize the need for double‐duty actions to simultaneously address burdens of hunger and obesity among adolescents.
