Within- and across-country nutritional disparities were examined among older adults in six different countries at varying levels of development.
Cross-sectional study.
Older adults (aged 50 years or over) in China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russia and South Africa using the Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE).
While the distribution of BMI categories varied by country, development-related characteristics were generally related to BMI category in a similar way: urban-living, educated and wealthier individuals were typically more likely to be in a higher BMI category. However, there were some exceptions that corroborate findings in more developed countries. Indeed, a pooled partial proportional odds model which included gross domestic product per capita interactions made the case for intertwining processes of development and the nutrition transition.
Population segments to be targeted by nutrition policy and programme implementation might need to change over the course of development.
在不同发展水平的六个国家中，研究了老年人的国内和国际间营养差异。
横断面研究。
来自中国、加纳、印度、墨西哥、俄罗斯和南非的老年人（年龄在 50 岁或以上），使用全球老龄化和成人健康研究（SAGE）。
虽然 BMI 类别分布因国家而异，但与发展相关的特征通常以相似的方式与 BMI 类别相关：城市居民、受过教育和富裕的个体通常更有可能处于较高的 BMI 类别。然而，也有一些例外情况证实了在较发达国家的发现。实际上，一个包含人均国内生产总值相互作用的综合部分比例优势模型为发展和营养转型过程的交织提供了证据。
随着发展的进行，营养政策和方案实施的目标人群可能需要发生变化。
