Worldwide trends in hypertension prevalence and progress in treatment and control from 1990 to 2019: a pooled analysis of 1201 population-representative studies with 104 million participants

Bin Zhou, +1144 more
- 11 Sep 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a Bayesian hierarchical model was used to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and the proportion of people with hypertension who had a previous diagnosis (detection), who were taking medication for hypertension (treatment), and whose hypertension was controlled to below 140/90 mm Hg (control).
Journal ArticleDOI

Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: a pooled analysis of 2181 population-based studies with 65 million participants

TL;DR: Girls in South Korea, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and some central Asian countries and boys in central and western Europe had the healthiest changes in anthropometric status over the past 3·5 decades because, compared with children and adolescents in other countries, they had a much larger gain in height than they did in BMI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D deficiency in girls from South Brazil: a cross-sectional study on prevalence and association with vitamin D receptor gene variants.

Betânia Rodrigues dos Santos, +4 more
- 08 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: The BsmI, ApaI and TaqI wild variants of the VDR gene, as well as the GGT haplotype, were associated with lower vitamin D levels, suggesting that VDR genetic polymorphisms could be linked to higher susceptibility to vitamin D deficiency in a sub-population of children and adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneous contributions of change in population distribution of body mass index to change in obesity and underweight

Maria Lc Iurilli, +1402 more
- 09 Mar 2021 -

Journal ArticleDOI

Physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and metabolic syndrome in adolescents: A cross-sectional study

Antonio Stabelini Neto, +7 more
