Abstract: In recent decades, the growing obesity epidemic in Mexico has become one of the most important public health challenges faced by the country. With support from the World Obesity Federation, we formed a working group in 2021 to identify and summarize priority actions that Mexico can take to face this epidemic. More than 1 000 health professionals joined the development and discussion process. Recommendations from previously published, high-level documents and guidelines were taken into account. In commemoration of World Obesity Day 2022, this statement is presented as input for health care professionals to develop actions to address obesity. The statement includes 10 recommendations that include population-level and individual-level actions. It emphasizes the importance of social participation, comprehensive interventions with a person- centered perspective, planetary sustainability, on improving education and communication campaigns, as well as fostering a built environment that promotes active living, and shielding prevention and control efforts from conflicts of interest. The statement calls for obesity to be treated seriously, based on scientific evidence, in a timely and comprehensive manner, employing a life-course and ethical approach that does not perpetuate weight stigma in society.

El cáncer de mama es un problema de salud pública, prioritario por su magnitud y trascendencia, que se relaciona con las transiciones demográfica y epidemiológica del país. Con el envejecimiento de la población, y una mayor exposición a los factores de riesgo, cobrará mayor relevancia en la sociedad y los servicios de salud, que deberán responder a las necesidades crecientes de detección y atención de esta tumoración mediante programas costo-efectivos. El propósito de este artículo es exponer un análisis de la mortalidad por el cáncer de mama, así como las recomendaciones internacionales con mayor consenso sobre la organización de los programas de tamizaje; por último, se presentan los aspectos medulares del programa de acción para la detección y control del cáncer de mama durante la presente administración (2007-2012). Las políticas para el control de esta neoplasia en México están dirigidas a la organización y el crecimiento de la infraestructura para el desarrollo de un programa nacional de detección temprana, diagnóstico oportuno y tratamiento con calidad óptima, trato cordial y respeto a los derechos de las pacientes.
Breast Cancer is a significant public health problem associated with epidemiological and demographic transitions that are currently taking place in Mexico. Aging and increased exposure to risk factors are thought to increase breast cancer incidence, having great relevance for the society and health services. Under this scenario, the health system must respond to the growing needs for better breast cancer screening services. In this paper we present an update of breast cancer mortality, general international recommendations for breast cancer screening programs and key aspects of the Mexico Action Program for Breast Cancer Screening and Control 2007-2012. Breast cancer policies are aimed at organizing and increasing the infrastructure to develop a National Program for Detection, Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Cancer with optimal quality, friendliness and respect for patient's rights.
