Sponsored by University of Warwick · Observational
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.
We used the most recent Global School-Based Student Health Surveys (GSHS) and Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HSBC) surveys, with data available on height and weight. The GSHS is a World Health Organisation (WHO) initiative, designed to assess health behaviours of adolescents through cross-sectional school-based surveys, across several countries using similar standardised procedures. The HSBC study are WHO sponsored cross-sectional school-based surveys that uses similar standardised procedures to the GSHS to examine the physical and mental health of adolescents in the WHO European Region and North America.

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.
Time frame: 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.
Time frame: 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.
Time frame: 2003-2013
