Nanan Aga Khan University Follow this and additional works at: https://ecommons.aku.edu/pakistan_fhs_mc_chs_chs Recommended Citation Nanan, D. J. (2002).

Available at: https://ecommons.aku.edu/pakistan_fhs_mc_chs_chs/597 The Obesity Pandemic - Implications for Pakistan D. J. Nanan ( Department of Community Health Sciences, The Aga Khan University, Karachi. ) Abstract Background: Adverse health outcomes are associated with overweight and obesity. In February 2000, the WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific, the International Association for the Study of Obesity and the International Obesity Task Force published provisional recommendations for adults for the Asia-Pacific region: overweight at Body Mass Index (BMl)>23 and obesity at BMI >25. Methods: Data from the National Health Survey of Pakistan, 1990-94 were reanalyzed using BMI cut- offs recommended for Asians to reassess prevalence of overweight and obesity in the adult Pakistani population. Results: Prevalence of obesity (BMl>25) in 25-44 year olds in rural areas was 9% for men and 14% for women; in urban areas, prevalence was 22% and 37% for men and women, respectively. For 45-64 year olds, prevalence was 11% for men and 19% for women in rural areas,and 23% and 40% in urban areas for men and women, respectively. Obesity prevalence was directly associated with SES, regardless of residence. Conclusion: In South Asia, including Pakistan, social and environmental changes are occurring rapidly, with increasing urbanization, changing lifestyles, higher energy density of diets, and reduced physical activity.

    Civic Engagement Through Community Service APPNA Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America 6414 South Cass Avenue, Westmont, IL 60559-3209, USA APPNA Winter Meeting 2017 December 21-23, 2017 Lahore, Pakistan Editorial This year we are celebrating 40th anniversary of APPNA, in these last 40 years our association has morphed into one of the largest ethnic professional society of North America representing over 18000 Pakistan-decent medical graduates from its small humble beginning with just a handful members attending its first meeting in 1976. With every passing year, with every new challenge, opportunity or adversity APPNA has developed even more resilience just like our nation when it comes to dealing with these challenges. Over the years APPNA has taken upon several daunting tasks depending upon the need of the time and strategic vision of its leader. However, no matter who is leading the organization, what kind of political environment or government exit, whenever a calamity hit, APPNA with all the collective strength of its member is always at the forefront of fighting the adversity, regardless if it is in our motherland or adoptive home. Some of the recent examples of excellent relief work APPNA and its members did include help of Tsunami victims in Southeast Asia (2004), Katrina victims in New Orleans, USA and earthquake victims in Pakistan (2005), victims of Sindh Floods (2007) and Pakistan Flood (2010), Thur water well project, Several Free clinics throughout United States, National Health Care Day, Corneal transplants, Fistula surgeries and Cleft Palate surgeries. As a Pakistani medical graduate immigrating to USA, one APPNA characteristic I cherish the most is the platform it has provided to people like myself who want to give back to our motherland and serve their adopted communities.

Obesity prevalence was directly associated with SES, regardless of residence. Conclusion: In South Asia, including Pakistan, social and environmental changes are occurring rapidly, with increasing urbanization, changing lifestyles, higher energy density of diets, and reduced physical activity. The coexistence of underweight in early life with obesity in adults may presage both a higher prevalence and incidence for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension and diabetes. Use of BMI >23 for overweight, and BMI >25 for obesity, may provide a more accurate determination of the health of Pakistanis, especially in those with more than one risk factor for NCDs (JPMA 52:342; 2002).

  • Abstract Book 2011
    Message from Dean, Medical College As the University continues its journey of self-discovery, to broaden and further deepen its intellectual landscape and impact and to make AKU a truly research led institution of the 21st century, it is important to continue fostering and underpinning our research culture and support and forge new multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborations. AKUs first Health Sciences Research Assembly in 2005, was one step forward in this direction to contribute to the knowledge society and to make research a cornerstone of AKUs very existence which is a hallmark of all leading academic institutions of the world. Over the last six years the Health Sciences Research Assembly has become an integral component of AKUs academic and scholarly activities with abstract submission and participation surpassing expectations year after year. In order to continue sharing our ongoing and completed research work with great synergy, for exchange of ideas and dissemination of work in progress and for providing greater opportunities for collegial work across disciplines and specialties, this year again, Health Sciences Research Assembly 2011 has been organised as a two day event on December 14 and 15, 2011. It is heartening to note that faculty from both the Medical College and School of Nursing has again participated with even more zeal and fervour than previous years and has made significant contributions by submitting their research work both completed and ongoing in record numbers. Here, I must also appreciate and congratulate the Organising Committee of the Health Sciences Research Assembly 2011 and its Scientific Committee for their invaluable contributions towards the success of the event.
