Journal ArticleDOI
Socioeconomic status and obesity in adult populations of developing countries: a review.
TL;DR: The results of this review reinforce the urgent need to include obesity prevention as a relevant topic on the public health agenda in developing countries and improve the access of all social classes in these countries to reliable information on the determinants and consequences of obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity and inequities in health in the developing world.
TL;DR: Obesity among adult women is already a relevant booster of health inequities and, in the absence of concerted national public actions to prevent obesity, economic growth will greatly expand the list of developing countries where this situation occurs.

TL;DR: The prevalence of adult LTPA in Brazil was much lower than the levels that have been reported for developed countries, and there was a strong association between LTPA and socioeconomic status, measured either by income or schooling, independent of age, region, and urban or rural place of residence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body mass index cutoff points for evaluation of nutritional status in Brazilian children and adolescents.
TL;DR: The classification system presented here can be used for clinical and epidemiological assessments, it is methodologically similar to the majority of national curves that have been presented to date and, furthermore, it offers a definition of underweight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shifting obesity trends in Brazil.
TL;DR: Earlier obesity trends in Brazil entirely agree with what has been described for both developed and developing countries where reliable secular trend information exists, but the 1989–1997 trend of a substantial reduction in the prevalence of obesity among upper income urban women is unique in a developing country and up to now has only been detected in Scandinavian populations.
