PREVALENCE AND RISK FACTORS OF OBESITY AMONG ADOLESCENTS. REVIEWS
Introduction: Obesity at a young age remains a serious and pervasive public health problem and it is a marker of increased cardio-metabolic risk in teenagers and adults. The model estimates predicting this public health impact are based on a large body of evidence linking childhood obesity with future cardiovascular disease in adults. In Kazakhstan, according to the state program for the development of health care of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2020-2025, among Kazakh teenagers (children from 10 to 19 years old), 5% are obese and 20% of children are overweight.
Objective: To review the literature on the prevalence and risk factors of obesity among teenagers.
Search strategy: The search for sources was carried out in the following bases: Pubmed, Scopus, Ebscohost, Medline, The Сocrane Library, Springer Link, Web of Knowledge (Thomson Reuters), Paragraph Medicine, Science Direct. The search depth was 15 years: from 2004 to 2019. Inclusion criteria were: reports of randomized and cohort studies conducted in large populations; meta-analyzes and systematic reviews; articles in English and Russian. The exclusion criteria were: articles describing isolated cases and series of cases; articles published earlier than 1998; materials that do not have an evidence base, abstracts of reports, abstracts and newspaper articles.
We have included 62 articles on this topic that were available in full text and went through a critical evaluation process
Results: A literature review showed that over the past two decades, the prevalence of overweight / obesity has increased among children and teenagers. Prevalence rates are higher for boys than girls among children, but higher for girls in the teenagers group.
Conclusions: Assessment of the role of polymorphic variants of genes on the risk of obesity among teenagers is an urgent problem requiring further study.
