ABSTRACT

Resumen: Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia de obesidad escolar y adolescente en México y definir posibles factores de riesgo asociados. Material y métodos: La información proviene de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición 2018-2019 (Ensanut 2018-19). Se obtuvo información de 6 268 niños escolares y 5 670 adolescentes. Se estimaron modelos de regresión logística para estudiar la relación del sobrepeso y la obesidad (SP+O) con variables sociodemográficas, presencia de SP+O en padres, variables de salud y dietéticas y hábitos saludables. Resultados: La presencia de SP+O en escolares y adolescentes está asociada con la presencia de SP+O en la madre (p<0.001), con mayor tiempo frente a pantalla y con el índice de condiciones de bienestar medio, y se reduce a mayor consumo de fibra. En adolescentes con obesidad la probabilidad de depresión se incrementa. Conclusión: Es importante reconocer los factores predisponentes y de riesgo y las causas detrás de la obesidad infantil para diseñar estrategias de prevención integrales.


Abstract: Objective: To estimate the obesity prevalence among school-age children in Mexico and define possible risk-associated factors. Materials and methods: Data from National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut 2018-19) was used. Information from 6 268 school-age children and 5 670 teenagers was obtained. Logistic regression models were estimated in order to study the relationship between overweight and obesity (OW+O) and sociodemographic variables, OW+O condition in their parents, health, dietary and healthy behaviors variables. Results: OW+O in school-age children and teenagers is associated with the presence of OW+O in their mothers (p<0.001), more time spent in front of a screen and belonging to a middle wealth conditions index; a negative association was found for dietary fiber consumption. In teenagers with obesity, the odds for depression showed an increase. Conclusion: It is important to identify the predisposing and risk factors and the causes behind obesity in children in order to design integral prevention strategies.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Describir el estado de salud y nutrición de los adultos mayores en México. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se analizó la información de 5 480 adultos >60 años de edad de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición (ENSANUT 2006). Se obtuvieron prevalencias, medias e intervalos de confianza al 95 por ciento tras ajustar por el efecto del diseño. RESULTADOS: Hasta 40 por ciento de los adultos mayores carece de seguridad social y 2 por ciento padece desnutrición; la anemia afecta dos veces más a las mujeres que a los hombres (34.8 contra 17 por ciento). Más de 60 por ciento sufre sobrepeso y obesidad; cerca de 25 por ciento corresponde a hipertensos diagnosticados por la encuesta y 15 a 20 por ciento a diabéticos. CONCLUSIÓN: Los resultados de este estudio muestran que los adultos mayores en México poseen un estado de salud y nutrición inadecuado, lo cual es urgente atender a fin de optimizar su calidad de vida.


OBJECTIVE: To describe health and nutrition status in the elderly population in Mexico. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Information from 5 480 adults (>60 years) obtained by the National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT-2006) was analyzed. Frequencies, means, and confidence intervals at 95 percent were obtained and adjusted for design effect. RESULTS: Forty percent of the adults reported a lack of social security, 2 percent suffered from malnutrition, women were affected two times more than men by anemia (34.8 vs. 17 percent), more than 60 percent of the population were overweight and had obesity, approximately 25 percent suffered from hypertension according to the survey, and between 15 and 20 percent were diabetic. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study show that health and nutrition status among the Mexican elderly population is inadequate. This is a situation that urgently needs to be addressed in order to improve the quality of life of older adults in Mexico.
