Hunger may play a role in noncommunicable disease (NCD) risk. This study used the 2012 Global School-based Student Health Survey from Bolivia to determine the association between hunger and risk factors for NCDs among adolescents. Hunger was associated with increased odds of nondaily fruit and vegetable consumption (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.21; P < .001), inadequate physical activity (AOR = 1.21; P = .001), and current tobacco use (hunger sometimes [AOR = 1.83; P < .001] or most of the time/always [AOR = 2.12; P < .001]). Interventions to reduce the burden of NCDs in Bolivia should address hunger, in addition to traditional behavioral risk factors.
饥饿可能在非传染性疾病(NCD)风险中发挥作用。本研究利用2012年玻利维亚全球基于学校的学生健康调查,来确定饥饿与青少年非传染性疾病风险因素之间的关联。饥饿与非每日食用水果和蔬菜的几率增加相关(调整后的优势比[AOR]=1.21;P<.001)、体育活动不足(AOR=1.21;P=.001)以及当前吸烟行为相关(有时饥饿[AOR=1.83;P<.001]或大部分时间/总是饥饿[AOR=2.12;P<.001])。除了传统行为风险因素外,玻利维亚减少非传染性疾病负担的干预措施应解决饥饿问题。
