Outline of Final Research Achievements

We completed survey in five schools and collected data related to lifestyle and dietary behaviors, noncommunicable disease awareness knowledge, and anthropometric data from 1350 students aged 12 to 18 years. From the collected data, we already submitted one article in BMC Public Health journal on the topic sleep behaviors and obesity. It has now accepted for publication. Using our data, we found that prevalence of underweight, overweight and obese adolescents in Bangladesh were 14.9%, 18% and 7.1%, respectively. Only 37% students eat vegetables and 20% eat fruits daily. Among the students, 57% and 37% consumes soft drinks and fast food more than 2 times per week. More than 15% of the students reported sleep disturbance and bad sleep quality. Our study findings denoted short sleep duration to be associated with overweight/obesity among adolescents of Bangladesh. We also found higher screen viewing time were associated with higher prevalence of overweight/obesity.
