Mexican adults face high rates of obesity, with 36.9% classified as obese and 81.0% having abdominal obesity. This condition significantly increases the risk of developing chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Nutrition Science

Context:

  • The study utilizes data from the 2022 National Survey of Health and Nutrition (Ensanut 2022) in Mexico.
  • A sample of 8,563 adult participants was analyzed to assess obesity prevalence.
  • Obesity was classified using Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC).

Purpose:

  • To determine the prevalence of obesity in Mexican adults, stratified by risk factors and comorbidities.
  • To analyze the association between obesity (defined by BMI and WC) and various health risk factors.
  • To examine the relationship between obesity and diagnosed chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.

Summary:

  • Overweight prevalence was 38.3%, obesity 36.9%, and abdominal obesity (AO) 81.0%.

  • Women exhibited higher odds ratios (OR) for obesity (1.4) and AO (2.5).
  • Obese adults had significantly higher odds of diagnosed diabetes (OR 1.7), hypertension (OR 3.6), and dyslipidemia (OR 2.3) compared to normal-weight adults.

    • Impact:

    • Mexican adult obesity rates are among the highest globally, linked to prevalent chronic diseases.
    • Findings underscore the urgent need for multisectoral public policies for obesity prevention and control.
    • The study highlights the significant public health burden associated with obesity and its comorbidities in Mexico.
