Mexican adult obesity prevalence reached 37.1%, with higher rates in women. While obesity trends stabilized after 2016, high consumption of industrialized energy drinks is linked to increased obesity risk.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Nutrition Science

Context:

  • The study analyzes data from the 2020-2023 National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut Continua) in Mexico.
  • Obesity is a significant public health concern in Mexico, associated with chronic diseases and lifestyle factors.
  • Understanding current prevalence and trends is crucial for effective public health policy.

Purpose:

  • To describe the prevalence and sociodemographic characteristics of obesity in Mexican adults.
  • To examine the association between obesity, chronic diseases, risk factors, and industrialized energy drink (IED) consumption.
  • To analyze obesity trends over the past 23 years (2000-2023).

Summary:

  • The prevalence of obesity among Mexican adults was 37.1% (41.0% women, 33.0% men).

  • High consumption of IEDs was associated with a 2.29 times greater likelihood of obesity in men.
  • Obesity prevalence increased significantly from 2000-2012, but showed stabilization between 2016-2023.

    • Impact:

    • Provides evidence for designing targeted public health interventions and policies for obesity prevention and control.
    • Highlights the role of IED consumption as a modifiable risk factor for obesity.
    • Contributes to the understanding of long-term obesity trends in Mexico.
