The increasing prevalence of overweight/obesity is a leading public health concern in high-, middle-, and low-income countries. Our study aimed to present published data on the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Bangladeshi children, adolescents, and adults. In this systemic literature review, electronic search engines of PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and the Bangladesh Journals Online were used to find relevant articles published between 2007 and 2017 based on predefined inclusion/exclusion principles. This study included 14 studies on the topic which were available in full text and met the inclusion criteria.
The outcomes from the included study indicated an increasing trend in overweight and obesity among Bangladeshi children, adolescents, and adults over time. The prevalence of overweight and obesity is much higher in girls than in boys among children and adolescents, and also prevalence rates are higher in females than in males in the adults. Prevalence rates of overweight and obesity are also higher in urban peoples compared to rural peoples living in Bangladesh. Globally, overweight/obesity is considered the risk of the increasing various chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. So we need to ennoble our healthy lifestyle to efficiently address the increasing comorbidities of overweight and obesity.
超重/肥胖的发病率不断上升，是高、中、低收入国家的主要公共卫生关注点。本研究旨在展示孟加拉国儿童、青少年和成年人超重和肥胖流行率的已发表数据。在这项系统性文献综述中，我们使用了 PubMed、Google Scholar、Scopus 和孟加拉国在线期刊的电子搜索引擎，根据预先设定的纳入/排除原则，查找了 2007 年至 2017 年间发表的相关文章。本研究共纳入了 14 项符合纳入标准的关于该主题的研究。
纳入研究的结果表明，孟加拉国儿童、青少年和成年人的超重和肥胖发病率随时间呈上升趋势。超重和肥胖在儿童和青少年中的女孩中比男孩中更为普遍，在成年人中，女性的发病率也高于男性。与生活在孟加拉国农村的人相比，城市居民的超重和肥胖发病率也更高。在全球范围内，超重/肥胖被认为是糖尿病、高血压和心血管疾病等各种慢性疾病发病率上升的风险因素。因此，我们需要倡导健康的生活方式，以有效地解决超重和肥胖日益增多的共病问题。
