Brief Summary

Individual-participant data analysis of the Global School-Based Student Health Survey and Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children surveys in 57 LMICs between 2003-2013.

Conditions

Stunting; Thinness; Obese

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Prevalence of stunting

  Trained survey staff measured the height of each student. Stunting was defined as height-for age \< 2 standard deviations below the WHO Child Growth Reference median.

  2003-2013

• Prevalence of thinness

  Trained survey staff measured the weight of each student. Thinness was defined as BMI-for-age \< 2 standard deviations below the WHO Growth Reference median. Body mass index \[BMI (weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared)\] was calculated from height and weight.

  2003-2013

• Prevalence of overweight and obesity

  Overweight was defined as BMI-for-age \> 1 standard deviation above the WHO Growth Reference median) and obesity was defined as \>2 standard deviations above the WHO Growth Reference median.

  2003-2013
