XXXX and @entity28 trends in Fiji over 30   years.

@entity1 @entity28 @entity6
BACKGROUND: No systematic comparison has been conducted in Fiji using all suitable surveys of @entity6 ( @entity6 ) and @entity28 prevalence after standardizing methodology and definitions. METHODS: Unit records from six surveys of Fiji adults were variously adjusted for age, ethnicity (Fiji Melanesians, i-Taukei, and Fijians of Asian Indian descent [Indians]) and urban-rural by sex to previous censuses. Trends were assessed using meta-regression (random effect models) and estimates projected to 2020. Poisson regression of strata was used to assess the effect of body mass index (BMI) increases on @entity6 period trends. RESULTS: Over 1980-2011, @entity6 prevalence increased in i-Taukei @entity1 (3.2% to 11.1%; 1.32%/5   years) and @entity1 (5.3% to 13.6%; 1.40%/5   years) and Indian @entity1 (11.1% to 17.9%; 1.24%/5   years) and @entity1 (11.2% to 19.9%; 1.71%/5   years). Projected @entity6 prevalence in 2020 is 13.3% and 16.7% in i-Taukei @entity1 and @entity1 , and 23.4% and 24.1% in Indian @entity1 and @entity1 , respectively. Obesity prevalence increased in i-Taukei @entity1 (12.6% to 28.9%; 2.99%/5   years) and @entity1 (30.1% to 52.9%; 3.84%/5   years) and in Indian @entity1 (2.8% to 9.4%; 1.21%/5   years) and @entity1 (13.2% to 26.6%; 2.61%/5   years). Projected @entity28 prevalence in 2020 is 34.0% and 60.0% in i-Taukei and @entity1 , and 11.4% and 31.0% in Indian @entity1 and @entity1 , respectively. After age-adjustment, an estimated 27%, 25%, 16% and 18% of the @entity6 period trend is attributable to BMI in i-Taukei @entity1 and @entity1 and Indian @entity1 and @entity1 , respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of @entity6 in Fiji is projected to continue increasing, driven by rising @entity28 , with consequences for premature mortality and life expectancy.
