• Ten Putative Contributors to the Obesity Epidemic (2009, unknown): “Worldwide, the metabolic mismatch resulting from the “nutrition transition” in developing countries, with its characteristic suboptimal fetal development coupled with later energy-dense nutrition, presents a major public health challenge (Monteiro et al., 2004; Prentice, 2006).”
• Socioeconomic status and obesity. (2007, background): “(12) suggest that the impact of these factors within societies is not equal, and that the burden in fact is falling disproportionately on persons of lower SES within middleincome countries.”
• Growing Epidemic of Coronary Heart Disease in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (2010, background): “Unlike prior data from the 1980s which showed that obesity was a problem of the higher income group in developing countries, a recent analysis shows that the poor are relatively more vulnerable to obesity as a developing country’s GNP approaches the middle income range [80,81].”
• The global childhood obesity epidemic and the association between socio-economic status and childhood obesity (2012, background): “Several comprehensive reviews have summarized fi ndings from related studies (Ball & Crawford, 2005; McLaren, 2007; Monteiro et al., 2004; Shrewsbury & Wardle, 2008; Sobal & Stunkard, 1989).”
• National, regional, and global trends in adult overweight and obesity prevalences (2012, background): “Our analysis did not consider trends in central adiposity due to a lack of population-based data, nor did it quantify withincountry disparities by socioeconomic status or race [9-11].”
• Obesity and socioeconomic status in developing countries: a systematic review (2012, methodology): “The purpose of this review was to take stock of the evidence on the socioeconomic inequalities in obesity in developing countries – an evidence base that has grown markedly since the last major review was published in 2004 (4).”
• Ultra‐processed foods and the nutrition transition: Global, regional and national trends, food systems transformations and political economy drivers (2020, background): “This same pattern is observed with the ‘social transition’ in obesity prevalence.(21,123) There are, however, significant variations in UPF and beverage sales between countries at the same level of per capita income.”
• Socioeconomic Disparities in Health Behaviors (2010, background): “Consistent with class-based norms in higher-income nations, however, an inverse gradient in obesity is emerging in lesser developed countries (Monteiro et al. 2004).”
