Kansallinen lihavuuden riski *7/10This is a composite ‘obesity risk’ score (out of 10, the highest risk) based on obesity prevalence, rate of increase, likelihood of meeting the 2025 target, treatment indicator and childhood stunting levels.Lapsuusajan lihavuuden riski *7,5/11This is a ‘risk score’ for each country’s likelihood of having or acquiring a major childhood obesity problem during the 2020s, taking account of current prevalence levels and risk for future obesity (based on stunting among infants, maternal obesity, maternal smoking, and breastfeeding rates).

Huomiot:The sample included children and adolescents who visited any healthcare facility within the National Guard Health System (5 hospitals and 24 primary care centers) across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between 2016 and 2021. The five hospitals were in Riyadh, the Eastern Province (Dammam and Al Ahsa), Jeddah, and Madinah; there were no hospital or primary care centers in the Northern region. Children and adolescents with outlier anthropometric measurements, such as height >190 cm and weight <3 kg or >190 kg, were excluded.
Määritelmät:Growth Charts for Saudi Children and Adolescents. BMI data were plotted on Saudi sex- and age-specific growth charts and categorized into four groups: underweight (<5th percentile), normal weight (5th to <85th percentile), overweight (≥85th to <95th percentile), and obese (≥95th).

Trans-fat policy

In January 2020, Saudi Arabia became the first country in the Eastern Mediterranean Region and the 14th country in the world to implement a best-practice TFA policy.

In November 2015, a regulation was passed for a TFA limit of 2% in oils and fats, and 5% in other food products. These TFA limits were approved by the GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) and became available for other GCC Member States to adopt in 2015.10 The limit took effect in Saudi Arabia in November 2017.

Front of Pack Nutritional Labeling (SFDA.FD 42/2018)

The Saudi Food & Drug Authority recommended the traffic light system standard to be used as Front of Pack Nutrition Labeling in 2018. The system is adapted from the UK traffic light system, and uses the UK’s thresholds for fat, saturated fat, total sugars, and salt but only on a 100 g/mL basis. Following feedback from local industry and trading partners, SFDA decided to make this FOPNL scheme voluntary intitially. It is due to become mandatory in 2021.
