Overweight in the pluri-ethnic adolescent population of New Caledonia: Dietary patterns, sleep duration and screen time.
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: A high prevalence of overweight and obesity has been found in adolescents of New Caledonia and other Pacific Island Countries and Territories. Although Westernization may contribute to the weight gain in populations of Oceanian, Non-European, Non-Asian ancestry (ONENA), little is known about the sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associated with overweight in the Melanesian and Polynesian adolescents of New Caledonia. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, a pluri-ethnic sample of New Caledonian adolescents (N = 954; age M = 13.2 years) completed a survey to estimate sleep duration, screen time, and dietary pattern using a food frequency questionnaire. Demographic data (gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status: SES, area of residence) were collected, and anthropometric measures were used to compute weight status. FINDINGS: We found a higher risk for being overweight in Melanesian (OR = 1.67) and Polynesian (OR = 5.40) adolescents compared with European adolescents, even after controlling for age, SES, area of residence, dietary pattern, sleep duration and screen time. We also found that low SES (OR = 3.43) and sleep duration (OR = 0.65 per hour) were independently associated with overweight status in the European but not in ONENA adolescents. INTERPRETATION: In this study, the main contribution to being overweight was ethnic background, i.e. being Melanesian or Polynesian. The hypothesis of a genetic influence thus seems attractive and merits further analyses. FUNDING: This project was funded by the University of New Caledonia and the Fondation Nestlé France.

A recent survey found that two-thirds of the population of New Caledonia was affected by obesity or overweight.

The Introduction says New Caledonia has been affected by obesity, but gives no two-thirds figure. The Results (Overweight prevalence; page unavailable) report overweight or obesity in 25.4%–35.5% of the adolescents surveyed, not two-thirds of New Caledonia’s population. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredBody mass index is significantly higher for the Oceanian population and teenagers in New Caledonia.
“with a significantly higher body mass index for the Oceanian population and teenagers [20–22] (Table 1).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
