This study aimed to summarize current data on overweight and obesity among adults living in Cameroon.
PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Global Index Medicus, African Journals Online, and local databases were searched for population-based cross-sectional studies conducted in the general population from January 2000 to December 2017. A random-effects model was used to pool data.
Overall, 26 studies (55,155 participants) were included. The prevalence of overweight was 26.0% (95% CI: 17.6%-35.3%) based on BMI. Furthermore, the overall prevalence of obesity was 15.1% (95% CI: 9.3%-22.1%) based on BMI, 16.4% (95% CI: 10.8%-22.8%) based on waist circumference ≥ 102 cm for males and ≥ 88 cm for females, 36.7% (95% CI: 26.8%-47.2%) based on waist circumference ≥ 94 cm for males and ≥ 80 cm for females, 32.6% (95% CI: 26.9%-38.7%) based on waist to hip ratio ≥ 0.90 for males and ≥ 0.85 for females, and 31.9% (95% CI: 27.8%-36.2%) based on percent body fat ≥ 25% for males and ≥ 35% for females. Overall, the burden was higher in females compared with males; there was no difference between urban and rural settings or between studies conducted in 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2016.
The burden of overweight and obesity is high among adults in Cameroon, putting many at increased risk for developing associated metabolic and cardiovascular complications.
本研究旨在总结目前关于喀麦隆成年人超重和肥胖的相关数据。
检索了 2000 年 1 月至 2017 年 12 月期间在普通人群中进行的基于人群的横断面研究的PubMed、Embase、Web of Science、全球医学索引、非洲期刊在线和本地数据库，采用随机效应模型对数据进行合并。
共纳入 26 项研究（55155 名参与者）。基于 BMI，超重的总体患病率为 26.0%（95%CI：17.6%-35.3%）。此外，基于 BMI，肥胖的总体患病率为 15.1%（95%CI：9.3%-22.1%），基于腰围男性≥102cm 且女性≥88cm，患病率为 16.4%（95%CI：10.8%-22.8%），基于腰围男性≥94cm 且女性≥80cm，患病率为 36.7%（95%CI：26.8%-47.2%），基于腰围腰臀比男性≥0.90 且女性≥0.85，患病率为 32.6%（95%CI：26.9%-38.7%），基于男性体脂百分比≥25%且女性体脂百分比≥35%，患病率为 31.9%（95%CI：27.8%-36.2%）。总体而言，女性的负担高于男性；城市和农村地区之间以及 2000 年至 2009 年和 2010 年至 2016 年期间开展的研究之间均无差异。
喀麦隆成年人超重和肥胖的负担很重，使许多人面临更高的相关代谢和心血管并发症风险。
