Low- and middle- income countries are experiencing an obesity epidemic. There is growing evidence that the epidemic is on the increase in urban settings of developing countries. However, there is scanty information on the magnitude of this epidemic and its correlates in rural settings. The objective of the current study was to establish levels of overweight/obesity and its correlates in rural areas of Zambia. Designing interventions based on the correlates for overweight/obesity to reduce its prevalence may in turn lead to a reduction in the prevalence of hypertension. Methods: Cross sectional studies using a modified WHO Stepwise questionnaire were conducted. Logistic regression analyses were used to determine factors that were associated with overweight/obesity. Unadjusted odds ratios (OR) and adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and their 95% confidence intervals are reported.

Sandoval Rivera and Unnikrishnan Payyappallimana Preamble The core paper and collection of short papers from Mexico, Africa, India and Sweden that make up this study on social-ecological landscapes developed as a South–South collaboration that was extended to include a case in the North. Our concern was to explore how situated, intergenerational knowledge commonly takes a back seat to the conceptual propositions that the environmental sciences have developed around matters of concern like biodiversity loss. In this way, scientific propositions have become the conceptual capital for informing future sustainability through Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).

  • (2000:45), Lufwanyama District Has the Highest Level of Adult Illiteracy in the Copperbelt Province
    1.0 CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION According to the Central Statistical Office (2000:45), Lufwanyama District has the highest level of adult illiteracy In the Copperbelt Province. This situation has immensely contributed to the underdevelopment of the district. It is this scenario that prompted the researcher to investigate factors which were affecting the provision of adult literacy. This was done with the view that adult literacy would invaluably enable adult illiterates to pursue adult education. Adult literacy is thus the beginning point and gateway to adult education which is defined as a …process whereby persons who no longer attend school on a regular and full-time basis… undertake sequential and organized activities with the conscious intention of bringing about changes in information, knowledge, understanding or skills, appreciation and attitudes; or for the purpose of identifying and solving personal or community problems” (Lowe, 1970:3). Therefore, to give direction to this study, this chapter opens by presenting the background of the problem, statement of the problem, purpose of the study, objectives of the study and research questions. Other issues discussed in the chapter include the significance and rationale of the study, limitations encountered, operational definitions, organization of the report and a summary of the chapter. ORGANISATION OF THE REST OF THE REPORT Chapter one has covered the following aspects: background to the study, statement of the problem, purpose of the study, objectives and research questions, significance of the study, limitations of the study, operational definition of terms, abbreviations, organization and summary. Chapter Two of the report contains the literature review, which has been sub-sectioned as introduction, literacy and its importance, origins and development of Adult Literacy in Zambia and its deficiencies, public perception of Adult Literacy and summary of the chapter.
