Abstract

Overweight and obesity are linked to the severity of infections and the development of chronic conditions among children and adolescents in Ghana. Hence, estimating the current prevalence and its determinants is imperative to guide public health interventions. This review mapped evidence on the prevalence and determinants of overweight and obesity among in-school children and adolescents (aged 5-19 years) in Ghana. Three main databases (PubMed, Central, and JSTOR) were searched for studies conducted in Ghana. Also, the study included only studies published online between 2010 and 2022. The search produced 1214 records, with an additional 23 identified through a search conducted in Google, Google Scholar, the WHO library, HINARI, and institutional repositories. After a thorough screening, 24 records were synthesized. The prevalence of overweight/obesity among the 23,663 in-school children and adolescents in Ghana was 0.5%-47.06%. Females have higher odds of being overweight than males. In addition, lack of nutrition and physical activity (PA) knowledge and low participation in school sports and physical activities exposed in-school children and adolescents in Ghana to overweight and obesity. Consumption of unhealthy foods, late bed, smoking, loneliness, watching television, and playing computer games exposed schoolchildren and adolescents in Ghana to overweight and obesity. There are relatively high levels of overweight and obesity among school-going children and adolescents in Ghana. Addressing sex gaps in PA, ensuring healthy eating, and limiting sedentary lifestyles is the surest way to promote healthy weight among in-school children and adolescents in Ghana.

加纳在校儿童和青少年(5-19 岁)超重和肥胖症:加纳在校儿童和青少年(5-19 岁)超重和肥胖症:患病率和风险因素范围审查》。
超重和肥胖与加纳儿童和青少年感染的严重程度和慢性病的发展有关。因此,估算目前的发病率及其决定因素对于指导公共卫生干预措施至关重要。本综述对加纳在校儿童和青少年(5-19 岁)超重和肥胖的流行率及其决定因素的证据进行了分析。研究人员在三个主要数据库(PubMed、Central 和 JSTOR)中搜索了在加纳进行的研究。此外,该研究仅包括 2010 年至 2022 年间在线发表的研究。搜索结果产生了 1214 条记录,通过在 Google、Google Scholar、WHO 图书馆、HINARI 和机构资料库中进行搜索,又发现了 23 条记录。经过全面筛选后,综合了 24 条记录。加纳 23663 名在校儿童和青少年的超重/肥胖率为 0.5%-47.06%。女性超重的几率高于男性。此外,加纳的在校儿童和青少年缺乏营养和体育活动(PA)知识,很少参加学校运动和体育活动,这些都是导致超重和肥胖的原因。食用不健康食品、晚睡、吸烟、孤独、看电视和玩电脑游戏也是加纳在校儿童和青少年超重和肥胖的原因。加纳学龄儿童和青少年的超重和肥胖率相对较高。解决 PA 方面的性别差距、确保健康饮食和限制久坐不动的生活方式是促进加纳在校儿童和青少年健康体重的最可靠方法。
