Tóm tắt : | Nutritional surveillance data are essential to effectively design, implement and evaluate policies and strategies aimed at counteracting childhood obesity, which remains an important public health problem in the WHO European Region. The WHO European Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative (COSI) was established in 2007 as a systematic process of collection, analysis, interpretation and dissemination of descriptive information for use in monitoring excess bodyweight and in programme planning and evaluation. Tajikistan joined the WHO European COSI study in 2016 (fourth round). This report presents data on the fourth (2016/2017) and fifth (2019) rounds. COSI Tajikistan data collection was performed in five regions of Tajikistan (Districts of Republic Subordination, Dushanbe City, Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast, Khatlon and Sughd) following the WHO European COSI study common protocol and data collection procedures. From 153 primary schools, a total of 3318 children aged 7 years were measured in 2016/2017 and 3454 in 2019. The COSI study allows better understanding of the progression of childhood overweight and obesity in each country and provides information on related factors, such as eating habits and patterns of physical activity. COSI Tajikistan should be repeated every three years to monitor trends over time, which is of particular importance given that obesity (1.5% in 2016/2017 and 1.4% in 2019) coexists alongside thinness (4.3% in 2016/2017 and 6.0% in 2018), and to support the country’s need for ongoing or future interventions to promote healthier lifestyles among children and, consequently, ensure better health. x, 31 p. |
