RESUMO

According to the World Health Organization, coronary heart disease (CHD)-caused deaths accounted for one-fifth of the total deaths in Mexico in 2017. Researches done in the past have confirmed the association between dietary trans-fatty acids (TFA) and CHD. Dietary TFA are mostly derived from industrial-hydrogenated oils, milk products, and meat fats. This paper is a build on of a policy paper done on international policies for TFA in low-to-middle income countries, using Mexico as the case study. This write up, however, aims to critically analyse the TFA regulation policy process in Mexico, evaluating the strength of evidence proposed and identifying the barriers preventing the usage of the evidence for a TFA regulation policy implementation. Although evidence abounds for TFA regulation policy, lack of effective collaboration and communication among the major actors (researchers, policy-makers, and consumers) in Mexico remains a major setback in its implementation.

Resumen Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud, las muertes causadas por enfermedades coronarias (EC) representaron una quinta parte del total de muertes en México en 2017. Investigaciones realizadas en el pasado han confirmado la asociación entre los ácidos grasos trans (AGT) en la dieta y las EC. Los AGT de la dieta se derivan principalmente de aceites hidrogenados industriales, productos lácteos y grasas cárnicas. Este trabajo tiene como base un documento de política pública acerca de las políticas internacionales para AGT en países de ingresos bajos a medianos, utilizando a México como estudio de caso. Sin embargo, esta reelaboración tiene como objetivo analizar críticamente el proceso de políticas de regulación de AGT en México, mediante la evaluación de la solidez de la evidencia propuesta y la identificación de las barreras que impiden el uso de la misma para la implementación de una política de regulación de AGT. Aunque abundan las evidencias para fundamentar políticas de regulación de los AGT, la falta de colaboración y comunicación efectivas entre los principales actores (investigadores, formuladores de políticas y consumidores) en México sigue siendo un gran obstáculo en su implementación.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The rapid epidemiologic transition of diseases has adverse implications for low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Nigeria due to their limited healthcare, weaker health systems and the westernization of lifestyle. There is a need to evaluate the enormity or otherwise of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) burden in such low resource settings. We performed this survey to determine the prevalence of NCDs and its risk factors among the Ijegun- Isheri Osun community residents of Lagos, Nigeria. METHODS: A community-based cross-sectional survey was performed on 215 respondents recruited consecutively during a population preventive health campaign. Prevalence of three NCDs (hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia) were calculated. Associations between each of these NCDs and selected risk factors were determined using chi square test. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the risk factors of each of the three NCDs. RESULTS: The prevalence of hypertension was 35.3% (95% CI 29.0-42.1), diabetes 4.6% (95% CI 2.2-8.4) and dyslipidaemia 47.1% (95% CI 41.1-54.8). Among the NCD risk factors, the prevalence of smoking was 41.3% (95% CI 34.2-48.6), alcohol consumption 72.5% (95% CI 65.5-78.7), and physical activity 52.9 (95% CI 45.5-60.2). The independent significant predictors of hypertension were age ≥ 60 years (aOR 4.56; 95% CI: 1.72-12.09) and dyslipidaemia (aOR 5.01; 95% CI: 2.26-11.13). Age ≥ 60 years (aOR 8.83; 95% CI: 1.88-41.55) was an independent predictor of diabetes. Age ≥ 60 years (aOR 29.32; 95% CI: 4.78-179.84), being employed (aOR 11.12; 95% CI: 3.10-39.92), smoking (aOR 2.34; 95% CI: 1.03-5.33) and physical activity (aOR 0.34; 95% CI: 0.15-0.76) were independent predictors of having dyslipidaemia. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia and their associated risk factors are high among the respondents of Ijegun-Isheri Osun community of Lagos state, Nigeria. This highlights the need for further implementation research and policy directions to tackle NCD burden in urban communities in Nigeria. These strategies must be community specific, prioritizing the various risk factors and addressing them accordingly.
