![]() We conducted a systematic scoping review employing the Arksey and O’Malley framework, Levac et al. This study described evidence on the prevalence, incidence, and trends of childhood overweight and obesity in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA). Obesity and overweight constitute major risk factors of NCDs such as heart diseases, diabetes, and kidney disease, and as a result, contribute significantly to the development of chronic morbidities, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of premature death. The growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NDC), particularly in low-and middle-income countries, poses a significant threat to global health. Overnutrition needs to be recognised as an important public health issue in Burkina Faso and nutrition interventions need to be reshaped to account for it. Alcohol consumption and education were associated with an increased odds in only women. Urban residency is a consistent risk factor in both men and women. Our study showed that nearly one person out of five in the adult population of Burkina has an abnormal weight status with women being more affected than men. Among women, the proportional odds of overweight/obesity increase with urban residency (p<0.001), primary educational level (p=0.01), high total blood cholesterol level (p<0.001) and high fasting blood glucose level (p=0.02), and decrease with current smoking (p<0.001). Among men, the proportional odds of overweight/obesity increase with urban residency (p<0.001), greater age (p<0.002), marital status different from single (p≤0.007) and decrease with current smoking (p=0.009). The prevalence of overweight and obesity in Burkina Faso were 13.82% (95% CI: 12.25 to 15.55) and 4.84% (95% CI: 3.99 to 5.86), respectively. Overweight and obesity using body mass index cut-off levels of the WHO. Secondary analysis of a population-based countrywide cross-sectional study.īurkina Faso, all the 13 regions including both rural and urban residential areas.Ĥ800 participants of both sexes, aged between 25 and 64 years. We hypothesise that there is a significant burden related to overweight/obesity in Burkina Faso. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and predictors of overweight and obesity in Burkina Faso using a population-based countrywide sample.
