Poor nutrition in school years may have created 20 cm height gap across nations

A new global analysis led by Imperial College London, and published in journal The Lancet, has assessed the height and weight of school-aged children and adolescents across the world. The study, which used data from 65 million children aged five to 19 years old in 193 countries, revealed that school-aged children’s height and weight, which are indicators of their health and quality of their diet, vary enormously around the world. There was a 20 cm difference between 19-year-olds in the tallest and shortest nations — this represented an eight-year growth gap for girls, and a six-year growth gap for boys. For instance, the study revealed that the average 19-year-old girl in Bangladesh and Guatemala (the nations with the world’s shortest girls) is the same height as an average 11-year-old girl in the Netherlands, the nation with the tallest boys and girls. The international team behind the study warn that highly variable ...

Asthma patients can become obese

Obesity is a worldwide heath issue which involves multitude risk factors. Hence, finding a one stop therapeutic solution still remain impossible. Previous research reported that obesity is a risk factor for asthma development. But now a new research was presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress by Dr. Subhabrata Moitra from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, which claimed that asthma patients are at the huge risk of obesity. Dr. Subhabrata Moitra said, “Until now there has been very little research on whether the reverse is true — whether asthma can lead to obesity. In this study, we have enough people and we have followed them for long enough to observe the relationship between these two conditions.” Dr Subhabrata Moitra further added: “By following a large number of study participants over two decades, we have been able to observe how having asthma increases a person’s risk of going on ...
