Purpose
Among child populations, DBM has been defined as the coexistence of undernutrition (i.e., micronutrient deficiencies, underweight, and childhood stunting and wasting) and overweight, obesity, and diet-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) at the individual, family, and/or community levels.1,2 DBM is becoming particularly problematic in the poorest LMICs, largely due to increases in people affected by overweight and obesity.1
To better understand the factors contributing to these DBM increases, researchers proposed the socio-ecological model (SEM) as a more holistic approach that acknowledges multiple levels of influence (i.e., individual, interpersonal, community, organizational, and policy) that affect health outcomes.3 SEM aims to identify significant correlates and characteristics of target populations most in need of intervention.
This conference will examine the recent etiological and socio-ecological factors contributing to this increased DBM prevalence, and the implications for long-term health outcomes among children and adolescents (ages 3 to 18 years) in LMICs. It also will focus on how to address DBM by examining the following four SEM factors:
- Behavior changes for healthy eating and lifestyle practices (e.g., nutrition/physical activity)
- Social determinants of health (e.g., cultural, socioeconomic, environmental, political, etc.)
- The double-duty approach to interventions, programs, and policies that simultaneously addresses shared drivers for undernutrition and obesity/NCDs4
- Implementation science to be responsive to complex systems and frameworks5
Participants and presenters will explore evidence-based interventions, identify important research questions, and discuss policy implications toward improving nutrition and health outcomes of youth globally.
Closed captioning will be available through NIH VideoCast. Individuals who need any other reasonable accommodations to participate in this activity should contact Raquel McConnico at rmcconnico@thebizzellgroup.com or 301-798-5619 at least 5 days in advance.
