Overview

Analysis reveals associations with obesity and vitamin D deficiency in children, suggesting crucial behavioral and socioeconomic factors.

Key Points

  • Overweight/obesity and vitamin D deficiency coexist in school-age children, indicating a double burden of malnutrition.
  • Prevalence of double burden of malnutrition ranges from 0.7% to 6.9%, depending on the definition used for vitamin D deficiency.
  • Multilevel analysis identifies low physical activity and household size as significant factors contributing to this double burden.
  • Socioeconomic factors and urban residency play crucial roles in the prevalence of double burden of malnutrition among Colombian children.
