Background Evidence shows that dietary factors play an important role in blood pressure. However, there is no clear understanding of whether hypertension diagnosis is associated with dietary modifi...
Abstract: Objective: To estimate the dietary contribution of taxed beverages and foods. Materials and methods: Using 24-hour diet recall data from the Ensanut 2012 (n=10 096), we estimated the contribution of the items which were taxed in 2014 to the total energy, added sugar, and saturated fat intakes in the entire sample and by sociodemographic characteristics. Results: The contributions for energy, added sugar, and saturated fat were found to be 5.5, 38.1, and 0.4%, respectively, for the taxe...
Mexico is facing the double burden of malnutrition: stunting and micronutrient deficiencies in young children, iron deficiency in pregnant women, and widespread obesity across age groups.The aim was to summarize and discuss findings published in this supplement on dietary intakes and the eating habits of the Mexican population.A 24-h recall questionnaire that used the multiple-pass method with a repeated measure in a fraction of the sample was applied in a nationally representative sample. We es...
Overweight and obesity prevalences in Mexico are among the highest in the world, with dietary factors being the third-leading category of risk contributing to the burden of disease. Consequently, studying the compliance of the Mexican population to food-based dietary recommendations is essential for informing nutritional policies.We described the energy contribution of food groups to total dietary energy intake of the Mexican population and by sociodemographic subgroups and compared these result...
Background: Studies suggest a positive association between dietary energy density (DED) and body weight in adults, but evidence in children is inconclusive. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare usual DED distributions of nonoverweight vs. overweight or obese (OW/O) Mexican children. Methods: The study used 24-h recall (24HR) data from 2367 children aged 5–11 y from the 2012Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT 2012). Repeated 24HRmeasures were obtained in a rando...
