Title

INVESTIGATION OF THE PREVALENCE OF OBESITY IN IRAN: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS STUDY

Pages

  596-607

Abstract

 Obesity is one of the main public health problems which underlie many chronic illnesses and socioeconomic difficulties. According to the literature review, there are limited data on the PREVALENCE of OBESITY in different parts of IRAN as well as its trend and PREVALENCE among different age and gender groups. The aim of this study was to estimate the OBESITY PREVALENCE in IRAN using META-ANALYSIS. All the corresponding articles published in the external and internal journals, final reports of research projects, articles of related congresses and the reference index of the correlated papers published between 1995 and 2010 were collected via the electronic research engines (PubMed, Scopus, SID, MagIRAN, IRANMedex). Data were analyzed using META-ANALYSIS (random effects model) and meta-regression). A total of 144 articles with the sample size of 377858 people (134588 males and 164858 females) were enrolled in the study. The PREVALENCE of OBESITY in populations above the age of 18 was estimated as 21.7% (CI 95%: 18.5% - 25%) and in populations below 18 as 6.1% (CI 95%: 6.8%-5.4%). Meta-regression analysis showed an ascending trend in the PREVALENCE of OBESITY in IRAN. The PREVALENCE rates of OBESITY according to the BMI index, NCHC and percentile above 95 were 17.4%, 7.6% and7.4%, respectively. The BMI mean was 19.3 in populations below the age of 18 (CI 95%: 17-21.6) and 25.2 in those above the age of 18 (CI 95%: 27.1-23.3). Considering the increasing rate of OBESITY in IRAN and its effects on the public health, corresponding health authorities should revise the OBESITY preventive programs and, using public health interventions, reduce the rate of OBESITY in the country.
