Abstract:
<strong>Background:</strong> One of the major illnesses that causes more than twenty-five million deaths globally each year is obesity. Synthetic medications for weight loss are not very effective and have a lot of adverse effects. The use of herbs in managing obesity has gained interest in recent years. <strong>Methods:</strong> An observation about different herbal preparations used in Bangladesh has been done. Data have been collected from different reputed Bangladeshi journals and literature site. The effectiveness, safety and different use of herbal weight management in Bangladesh are gathered in this study. A summary of popular herbal medicines, like green tea, garcinia, and ginger, and their possible advantages in aiding in weight loss are also included in this study. <strong>Results:</strong> It was found that most people in Bangladesh use green tea as anti-obesity treatment, while vinegar is also a good option for them. This study provide a brief notes of the plant sources which are available in Bangladesh to serve as synthetic and semi-synthetic anti-obesity drugs. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The use of herbal weight therapy as a holistic and all-natural method of managing weight has grown in popularity. Continued research is likely needed to ascertain the efficacy and safety of pharmaceutically active compounds that may have the ability to cause weight loss, as well as medicinal plants and herbal extracts.

Abstract:
Background The prevalence of overweight and obesity in women has increased significantly over the last few decades in Bangladesh, a rapidly urbanising developing country. However, little is known regarding the association between the interaction of the place of residence and household wealth with overweight and obesity, particularly in women from developing countries. Objective The objective of this study is to find the association between the interaction of the place of residence and wealth with overweight and obesity among Bangladeshi women. Methods This study utilised data from the four Bangladesh Demographic Health Surveys conducted in 2004, 2007, 2011 and 2014 with a total of 54337 women aged 15–49 years. Multivariate logistic regression was used for the analyses. Results The prevalence of overweight and obesity among women aged 15–49 years in Bangladesh has considerably increased from 9.96% in 2004 to 24.43% in 2014. The interaction between wealth and place of residence has been found to be associated with obesity. Urban wealthy and richest women were 4.23 (OR: 4.23, 95% CI: 1.25–14.34) and 5.99 (OR: 5.99, 95% CI: 1.91–18.74) times more likely to be obese compared to their rural counterparts in the period 2004. Urban richest were 2.94 times (OR: 2.94, 95% CI: 1.20–7.24) more likely to be obese against their rural counterparts for the survey year 2014. Conclusions The place of residence is not associated with obesity, but its interaction with wealth is significant.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to find the differences in prevalence and associated factors of underweight and overweight/obesity among Bangladeshi adults by gender, using the nationally representative Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2017–2018 data. To identify the factors associated with underweight and overweight/obesity in both genders, multilevel multivariable logistic regression was conducted. The prevalence of underweight was 19.79% and 15.49% among males and females, respectively. The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 32.67% and 45.60% among males and females, respectively. Among both genders, participants with the highest likelihood of overweight/obesity were aged 30–49 years and 50–69 years, had the highest educational attainment up to primary and secondary level, resided in a household that belonged to the middle, richer, or richest wealth quintiles, and were currently married. On the other hand, among both genders, increased educational attainment and wealth index were inversely associated with being underweight. Health promotion programs in Bangladesh should focus on these high-risk groups to address the burden of underweight and overweight/obesity.

Abstract:
Background: Obesity is a growing global health concern, with developing countries such as Bangladesh increasingly facing the dual burden of undernutrition and overnutrition. The rise in obesity in Bangladesh, particularly in urban areas, is closely linked to rapid urbanization, economic development, and lifestyle changes, leading to increased consumption of processed, calorie-dense foods and reduced physical activity. This literature review examines the prevalence, drivers, health implications, and policy responses to obesity in Bangladesh within the broader context of global and Southeast Asian trends. Objective: The objective of this review is to analyze the rising concern of obesity in Bangladesh, explore its health and socioeconomic implications, and assess the effectiveness of current interventions and policy responses. The review also highlights gaps in the literature and suggests future research directions for addressing obesity more effectively in both urban and rural populations. Methods: A comprehensive review of open-access, English-language literature published between 2000 and 2024 was conducted using databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and CrossRef. The inclusion criteria focused on studies examining obesity prevalence, risk factors, health implications, and interventions in Bangladesh and Southeast Asia. Results: The review identifies a significant rise in obesity rates in Bangladesh, particularly in urban areas, where rates have reached 24% among adults. The key drivers of obesity include rapid urbanization, dietary shifts toward processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles. The health implications of obesity are severe, with strong associations to Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. Policy responses remain limited, and community-level interventions have had mixed success due to underfunding and lack of coordination. Conclusion: Obesity in Bangladesh reflects broader global and regional patterns while presenting unique ..

Abstract:
SummaryDespite the ongoing problems of undernutrition and infectious disease, obesity and overweight have become a major problem in developing countries, including Bangladesh. This cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of obesity, overweight and underweight among school children aged 6–12 years in Bangladesh. The study was conducted from June 2012 to May 2013 and the study sample comprised 1768 children (980 boys; 788 girls) from eight purposively selected schools in different areas of Dhaka city. Students were interviewed about their diet and physical activity, and anthropometric measurements were made, including height, weight, mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC), waist circumference, hip circumference and body mass index (BMI). Undernutrition, overweight and obesity were defined using internationally accepted BMI cut-off points. Mean height, weight, BMI, MUAC, waist circumference and hip circumference values were found to be higher in boys than in girls, except at age 12 when these were found to be significantly higher in girls than in boys (p&lt;0.05). The mean prevalence of overweight was 10.0% (boys 10.2%; girls 9.8%), and that of obesity 5.0% (boys 4.3%; girls 5.8%). The prevalence of underweight was 16.3% in boys and 12.7% in girls. The prevalence of underweight was significantly higher in poor than in rich children (22.1% vs 11.2%) and that of obesity was higher in rich than in poor children (9.9% vs 1.3%;p&lt;0.001). A family history of obesity and hypertension emerged as a significant predictor of developing overweight and obesity (p&lt;0.001). The data suggest that underweight and obesity co-exist in urban areas of Bangladesh, posing a challenge for the nutritional health of Bangladeshi children.

Childhood obesity has been a major public health concern in many high income countries. In middle income countries, like Bangladesh, the coexistence of obesity and underweight makes the situation more grievous. It creates a transitional status in the childhood nutrition in Bangladesh. The priority is to identify the overall picture of obesity status in our country. In this review article we try to identify the transitional situation of childhood nutrition and the importance of finding out the overall picture of childhood obesity throughout the country.&#x0D; Bangladesh J Medicine Jan 2020; 31(1) : 37-38

Abstract:
Abstract Background and objectives Humans co-evolved with pathogens, especially helminths, that educate the immune system during development and lower inflammatory responses. The absence of such stimuli in industrialized countries is associated with higher baseline levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) among adults who appear at greater risk for inflammatory disorders. This cross-sectional study examined effects of early life development on salivary CRP levels in 452 British-Bangladeshis who spent varying periods growing up in Bangladesh or UK. We also analyzed how gender and central obesity modulate effects on CRP. We hypothesized that: (i) first-generation Bangladeshis with higher childhood exposure to pathogens would have chronically lower CRP levels than second-generation British-Bangladeshis; (ii) effects would be greater with early childhoods in Bangladesh; (iii) effects by gender would differ; and (iv) increasing obesity would mitigate early life effects. Methodology Saliva samples were assayed for CRP using ELISAs, and anthropometric data collected. Participants completed questionnaires about demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle and health histories. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results First-generation migrants who spent early childhoods in mostly rural, unhygienic areas, and moved to UK after age 8, had lower salivary CRP compared to the second-generation. Effects differed by gender, while waist circumference predicted higher CRP levels. CRP increased with years in UK, alongside growing obesity. Conclusions and implications Our study supports the hypothesis that pathogen exposure in early life lowers inflammatory responses in adults. However, protective effects differed by gender and can be eroded by growing obesity across the life course which elevates risks for other inflammatory disorders. Lay Summary: Migrants to the UK who spent early childhoods in less hygienic environments in Bangladesh that help to educate their immune systems had lower levels of the inflammatory marker, C-reactive protein (CRP) compared to migrants who grew up in UK. Both gender and increasing obesity were associated with increased levels of CRP.

Objective : To determine mechanical ventilation discontinuation (weaning) practices in Bangladesh as there is currently no data available on this issue.&#x0D; Method : Analyzing the Survey on Bangladeshi respondents using questionnaire developed by and used by a pan Asian study where Bangladesh critical care physicians participated.&#x0D; Result : 40 physicians from 10 ICUs of Bangladesh participated. Majority of our participating doctors (62.5%) came from private for profit hospital. 19 out of 40 respondents were certified in critical care medicine. In our study spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) was liberally used with pressure support being used by 30% respondents. Most of the extubation trial took place during day. As criteria for extubation, respondents mainly considered consciousness and cooperation and along with gag reflex, cough strength, suction frequency and cuff leak at different times. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) was commonly used for early extubation in cases of COPD, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, neuromuscular disorders, post-operative cases and obesity. Slightly less than half of respondents did not follow any sedation protocol and 42.5% followed weaning protocol. Protocolized weaning by nurses are not known to be practiced in Bangladesh.&#x0D; Conclusion : Weaning practices are diverse in Bangladeshi ICUs.

Abstract:
Activities, environment, work style, living standards of housewives in Bangladesh vary from place to place. Housewives face many musculoskeletal problems related to housework and quality of life. Hence the aim of our investigation is to investigate the prevalence of joint pain among rural and urban housewives of Bangladesh. An attempt was made to compare joint pain in urban and rural housewives. A sample was selected to assess and comparison of joint pain prevalence among 400 unemployed urban and rural housewives aged 25–60 years in Bangladesh. Regression analysis was performed on their socio-economic and joint pain information through interviews with questionnaires. Data analysis shows that urban housewives have relatively higher prevalence of joint pain than rural housewives and it is 70.5% and 58.5% respectively. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) comparing joint pain in Bangladeshi housewives adjusted for age and BMI showed that the prevalence of knee and low back pain was highest and was associated with age and BMI. This study showed that joint pain was significantly higher in urban housewives compared to rural housewives. Bangladeshi housewives suffer from knee and lower back pain the most. Their joint pain prevalence is increases with age and BMI. Joint pain in housewives may be related to obesity, occupational differences and environmental factors. In addition to daily household work, urban housewives can perform some simple physical exercise regularly, which can improve their mobility and strength as well as reduce the rate of obesity.

Abstract:
Childhood obesity is a problem of increasing concern worldwide. The causes of obesity are complex and varied, but it is clear that there are biological, genetic and social determinants. The Childhood Obesity in Bangladeshi Immigrants project aims to further understand how cultural and biological factors interact in a population at increased risk for obesity-related metabolic diseases. Research was based in neighbourhood primary schools and was centred on pre-adolescent girls, aged 10-12, in a Bangladeshi migrant community in the city of Sunderland in the northeast England, and white British girls of the same age, socioeconomic status and geographical location. Diet and eating behaviours were assessed using 1) a series of school lunchtime observations 2) a single 24-hour photographic food diary, and 3) researcher-administered questionnaires. Physical health has been assessed through height, weight and waist circumference measurements, health histories (as given by parents) and saliva samples for evaluation of bodily inflammation via CRP assay. In concert with these collected data, interviews with school staff, and further questionnaires and focus groups with children and parents were administered on the topics of eating and health beliefs and behaviour. A much greater number of study participants in both cohorts were identified as at risk for metabolic disease by waist circumference measurement than identified as overweight or obese by BMI (18/20 vs 6/20 for the Bangladeshi-British cohort, and 17/20 vs 11/20 for the white British cohort). A significant positive correlation was found between CRP levels and waist-to-height ratio in white British participants (p=0.006). Fruit and vegetable intake was markedly lower in the Bangladesh-British cohort during school hours: 15 servings in 40 lunches vs 40 servings in 52 lunches in the white British cohort. However, food diaries reveal that over the whole day intake is similar in both groups (median intake of 1 serving of vegetables and 2 of fruit per day for Bangladeshi British participants, and a median of 0.5 servings of each for white British participants). Cohorts engaged in very different types of physical activity outside of school hours, with Bangladeshi-British subjects engaging primarily in casual play and white British subjects primarily engaged in formal lessons or team sports. It was also found that the school lunchroom environment has significant impact on the amount and types of food consumed during the lunch period, and it appears that certain types of room arrangements are more conducive to healthy eating than others.

Abstract:
This study explored the experiences of physical activity of Bangladeshi adolescents diagnosed with obesity. It adopted a qualitative methodology using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and semi-structured interviews to explore this un-researched area. Physical activity generally declines In adolescence, and is especially low in Bangladeshi young people. It is an integral part of treatments for childhood obesity and therefore, it is important to maximise uptake and engagement. The study findings are reported as four main themes. Physical activity was understood to offer protection from health problems and facilitate weight loss. However, young people did physical activity for fun, weight loss and because it was a social experience, rather than for health reasons. The motivation of being with others, inclusion and friendships were high in the face of associated costs. Young people had to negotiate their dependency on adults for information about their health and for opportunities to do physical activity. Uptake of physical activity was limited by competing demands on time, proximity to home, ability to travel safely, and for females, by the presence of men and concerns over 'mixing'. However, when young people did access physical activity they enjoyed feeling energised, improved thinking, feeling lighter and the social approval physical changes offered. They disliked the physiological experiences associated with exertion and some young people were anxious about experiencing these. These findings are sample-specific; they cannot be extrapolated onto other groups in other areas. However, they highlight that many experiences were similar to the general population whilst some were culturally mediated. Young people accepted some personal responsibility for physical activity, which was problematic given the external barriers faced. Family norms, cultural norms, bullying and poverty are factors requiring attention in interventions. The findings are discussed in terms of the existing research base. Clinical and research implications are highlighted.

Abstract:
Obesity is rampantly soaring at an alarming rate globally and simultaneously causing an increased incidence, and predisposition to various comorbidities. obesity is body mass index of &gt;30kg/m2, while &lt;18kg/m2 is underweight. The world at large fails to recognize obesity as an inevitable disease that requires strict measures to control this modifiable risk factor. W.H.O news release reported that over one billion people globally are obese among which 650 million were adults, 340 million were adolescents, and 39 million were children. The lowest obesity prevalence was reported in Timor Leste at 3.80%, Bangladesh at 3.60%, and Vietnam at 2.10% while the highest were noted in Nauru at 61%, cook island at 55.9%, and Palau at 55.3%. obesity is the most prevailing health problem (15% globally) associated with an increased propensity for development of several medical illnesses, obesity-associated adverse outcomes causing fatal complications that are difficult to manage, and premature mortality. The obese often feel they are not socially cared for by society and are accorded limited time by physicians who don’t view their health concerns from their own perspectives. Thus, making them pessimistic from low self-esteem and discrimination, body shaming, and stigmatization. They eventually develop depressive-anxiety disorder because of distrust insight.

Abstract:
Developing countries, mainly in the Indian subcontinent and China, contribute nearly 80% to the rising global diabetic population. Conservative estimates, based on population growth, ageing of population, and rate of urbanization in Asia, show that India and China will remain the top two countries with the highest number of people with diabetes by 2025: 71 and 38 million, respectively. Two other South Asian countries, Pakistan and Bangladesh, also are in the top ten list. The South Asian populations of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka are racially heterogeneous, but all have high risk for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Type 1 diabetes is relatively less common, and nearly 95% of all diabetic cases in these regions are type 2 diabetes. The steady rise in the prevalence of diabetes seen in last three decades coincides with rapid urbanization and industrialization, and associated sociological and political changes, occurring in these countries (1). Among the populations, physical activity has reduced significantly, intake of energy-dense food has increased, and mental and physical stress factors associated with urban living have also increased. A tilt in the energy balance towards conservation and fat deposition has contributed to the alarming increase in the rate of obesity, both in adults and children.

Abstract:
The prevalence of diabetes is rising at an alarming rate in Southeast Asia (SEA). According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) atlas, approximately 10.5% of adults aged 20–79 years, equating to 537 million people, had diabetes globally in 2021, with this figure expected to reach 783 million by 2045. Of those with diabetes, three in four are living in low- and middle-income countries, whereas 44.7% of cases still remain undiagnosed. Diabetes is a significant contributor to non-communicable disease (NCD) mortality in SEA countries, causing 2% of all annual deaths and highlighting the substantial economic and healthcare burden. This review aims to examine the prevalence of diabetes and its associated risk factors using data from NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 from India; National Survey data of diabetes from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal were taken along with literature from PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, the Journal of Endocrine Society, and the IDF Atlas. Statistical methods, including descriptive statistics and logistic regression, were applied to evaluate predictors of diabetes and its complications. Biomarker data included measurements of height, weight, hemoglobin levels, and waist-to-hip ratios for adults and children, as well as blood pressure and random blood glucose levels for adults aged 15 and above. Overweight, obesity, and high waist-to-hip ratios were more prevalent among urban women than rural women in Southeast Asia, and this indicates higher risks of diabetes and chronic disease complications in urban populations. All these addressing the risk factors, such as impaired glucose tolerance, is essential to mitigate diabetes-related complications.
