Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

16% of Mexican households face water insecurity and 22% experience food insecurity. Vulnerable populations, particularly indigenous households with poor living conditions, are disproportionately affected, highlighting urgent policy needs.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Nutrition Science
  • Environmental Health

Context:

  • Water insecurity (WI) and food insecurity (FI) are critical public health issues in Mexico.
  • Understanding the social determinants of these insecurities is essential for effective policy.
  • The Ensanut Continua 2020-2023 survey provides a robust dataset for this analysis.

Purpose:

  • To analyze water insecurity (WI), water supply frequency (WSF), and food insecurity (FI) in Mexican households.
  • To identify the social determinants associated with WI, FI, and WSF.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for public policy.

Summary:

  • 16% of Mexican households experience water insecurity (WI), and 22% suffer from moderate to severe food insecurity (FI).
  • Only 34.7% of households receive 24-hour daily water supply.
