OBJECTIVE—Type 2 diabetes and obesity have genetic environmental determinants. We studied the effects of different environments on these diseases in Pima Indians Mexico U.S. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Adult Pima-Indian non-Pima populations Sierra Madre mountains were examined using oral glucose tolerance tests assessments for obesity, physical activity, other risk factors. Results compared with those from Arizona. Both typed DNA polymorphisms to establish their similarity. RESULTS—The age-...
OBJECTIVE The Pima Indians of Arizona have the highest reported prevalences obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). In parallel with abrupt changes in lifestyle, these Pimas increased to epidemic proportions during past decades. To assess possible impact environment on NIDDM, data were collected members a population ancestry (separation 700–1,000 years ago) living remote mountainous location northwestern Mexico, lifestyle contrasting markedly that Arizona. RESEARCH...
Background: there is no longitudinal evidence about the association between loss of total appendicular skeletal muscle (TASM) and cytokines. Objective: to investigate whether high levels inflammatory markers such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with TASM in free-living non-sarcopenic older people. Design: five-year prospective cohort study. Subjects: one hundred fifteen men women aged 60–84 years at baseline 5-year follow-up were included. Methods: was...
Background: Sarcopenia is strongly associated with an inadequate intake of dietary protein. Dietary protein supplementation boosts muscle-protein synthesis and increases muscle mass in the elderly. This study tested whether adding a protein-rich food, ricotta cheese, to habitual diet increased total appendicular skeletal strength elderly people. Methods: Participants (n = 40), were sarcopenic men women over 60 years age. Two comparison groups formed at random followed for 3 months:...
OBJECTIVE The global epidemics of type 2 diabetes and obesity have been attributed to the interaction between lifestyle changes genetic predisposition these diseases. We compared prevalences in Mexican Pima Indians, presumed a high diseases, those their non-Pima neighbors, both whom over 15-year period experienced transition from traditional more modern lifestyle. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Prevalence diabetes, impaired fasting glucose, glucose tolerance, Pimas (n = 359) Mexicans 251) were...
Both giardiasis and zinc deficiency are serious health problems worldwide. In Mexico, the prevalence of G. intestinalis was estimated at 32% in 1994. It remains a problem northwestern Mexico. Recent surveys (1987, 1995, 1999) reported Mexican population. The association malabsorption micronutrients has been well documented, although with controversial. This study investigated between schoolchildren from We combined cross-sectional design longitudinal follow-up six months after parasite...
It has been reported that fermented milk (FM) with Lactococcus lactis NRRL B-50571 had an antihypertensive effect in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and prehypertensive subjects. Therefore, the objective of present study was to evaluate possible mechanisms involved (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition (ACEI), enhancement nitric oxide production, antioxidant activity opioid effect), FM SHR. First, twenty one SHR were randomized into three groups either receive a single-oral dose...
The COVID-19 pandemic was a risky period for childhood obesity, due to the increase in unhealthy behaviors. Online interventions could prevent this problem. aim of study evaluate feasibility and explore effect an online program on BMI z-score Mexican schoolchildren at 4 months during pandemic. A pilot randomized controlled trial conducted with 54 children. intervention included three sessions per week nutrition physical activity, as well information parents months. control group received one...
The study of overweight and obesity in schoolchildren is crucial for preventing future chronic diseases improving long-term health, particularly vulnerable communities. Yaqui indigenous community undergoing a transition from traditional lifestyle to more modern lifestyle, facing an increased risk obesity. This aimed assess the prevalence among (aged 5-11 years) identify determinants associated with BMI Z-scores. A cross-sectional using probabilistic, multistage, stratified sampling was...
Abstract Background The study of body composition in specific populations by techniques such as bio-impedance analysis (BIA) requires validation based on standard reference methods. aim this was to develop and cross-validate a predictive equation for bioelectrical impedance using air displacement plethysmography (ADP) method measure Mexican adult men women. Methods This included 155 male female subjects from northern Mexico, 20–50 years age, low, middle, upper income levels. Body measured...
Several limitations of published bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) equations have been reported. The aims were to develop in a multiethnic, elderly population new prediction equation and cross-validate it along with some BIA for estimating fat-free mass using deuterium oxide dilution as the reference method. Cross-sectional study from five developing countries. Total body water (TBW) measured by was used determine (FFM) 383 subjects. Anthropometric variables also measured. Only 377...
OBJECTIVE: Plasma leptin, an important signal for the regulation of energy stores, is known to be influenced by many hormonal factors, but may also affected behavioral and environmental factors. The purpose this study was investigate impact lifestyle (diet composition, level physical activity) on plasma leptin concentrations among Pima Indians living in drastically different environments. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We studied 224 Mexican (115 women, 109 men) a traditional remote,...
There has been substantial interest in phytoestrogens, because of their potential effect reducing cancer and heart disease risk. Measuring concentrations phytoestrogens urine is an alternative method for conducting epidemiological studies. Our objective was to evaluate the urinary excretion as biomarkers dietary phytoestrogen intake Mexican women. Participants were 100 healthy women from 25 80 years age. A food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) a 24 h recall used estimate habitual recent intakes...
Abstract Objective To determine the prevalence of and modifiable factors associated with prediabetes in Comcáac Indians. Design Cross-sectional study where was defined using fasting plasma glucose, 2 h glucose glycated Hb (HbA1c). Physical, anthropometric biochemical measurements, medical record, socio-economic, dietary physical activity information were collected. The assessed multiple logistic regression. Settings Indian communities Punta Chueca El Desemboque, Sonora, Mexico. Subjects...
Insulin resistance is a major risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes in Pima Indians, population with highest prevalence mellitus world. Their Mexican counterpart, living traditional lifestyle mountains Sonora, have at least 5 times less than U.S. Indians.We evaluated whether Indians had lower insulin compared fasting and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) 194 (100 females, 94 males) 449 (246 203 normal glucose tolerance from cross-sectional study. Adjusted differences...
