Pages: 59 - 64 Abstract: Background/Objectives: The study aim to investigate issues that contribute to obesity and weight gain problems as well as other economic and socioeconomic contributors in people of both genders. Subjects/Methods: The study settings was done as a focus for South African communities from adolescence and adults of all ages. Furthermore, the study looked at people or patients who reside from Africa, European countries and Asians countries as well. This was a meta-analysis and secondary data analysis study that looked into all the obesity articles and the challenges of patients and people struggling with weight through desktop research overview. Results: The sad disturbing findings were that obesity co-morbidities were reported among children and adolescents in the Middle East. Bariatric surgery acts as one of the problem solvers for fast effective weight loss among youth and adults who can afford the procedure. Conclusion; When people are determined to lose weight, they may rely on various mechanisms to be on the road to success without fear of not reducing their kilograms. Telling an African woman to lose weight might be a challenge because some of them they appreciate their weight or shape as they are and don’t see a need to change.

The aim of this research was to study the prevalence and abundance of the main parasitic nematodes associated with sugarcane. To this end, samples of sugarcane roots were taken from 10 agronomic trials. Nematodes were extracted from the roots of 15 cultivated varieties, at depths ranging from 02 to 10 cm. The results show twelve (12) genera of parasitic nematodes. The existence of a diversity of plant-parasitic nematodes of sugarcane was confirmed. Radopholus, Pratylenchus, Meloidogyne, Hoplolaimus, Hirschmanniella, Caloosia, Xiphinema and Tylenchulus were frequent and abundant, as they were observed in over 50% of root samples at population levels above 20 nematodes/g root. Varieties M1400/86, FR96070 and M2238/89 recorded the most plant-parasitic nematodes in the roots, with total densities of 52161.48, 28214.29 and 24528.10 nematodes/100g roots respectively. These 8 groups of nematodes can be considered the most damaging to sugarcane cultivation in the Ferkessédougou region, where they are important.
