Objective. To examine different health outcomes that are associated with specific lifestyle and genetic factors. Materials methods. From March 2004 to April 2006, a sample of employees from three academic institutions, as well their family members, were enrolled in the study after providing informed consent. At baseline follow-up (2010-2013), participants completed self-administered questionnaire, physical examination, provided blood samples. Results. A total 10 729 aged 6 94 years recruited...
To estimate energy, nutrient intake and diet adequacy in school-aged children based on the Mexican National Health Nutrition Survey 2006 (ENSANUT 2006).Food data from food frequency questionnaires was analyzed for 8 716 aged 5 to 11 years. Energy nutrients were obtained. Comparisons made at regional, urban/rural areas, socioeconomic status (SES) nutrition (body mass index height/age).Median energy 1501 kcal/d (percent adequacy: 88.0). Overweight obesity prevalence 25.5%. Stunting 10%....
To evaluate the effect of physical activity (PA) on risk depression among Mexican adults over a 6-year follow-up period.We evaluated longitudinal data from Health Worker Cohort Study, which follows employees Institute for Social Security in Morelos State, Mexico, time. Depressive symptoms and PA were assessed at baseline measurement 6 years later. The study population was free depressive symptomatology baseline, as by Center Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D). After years,...
Although body fat percent (BF%) may be used for screening metabolic risk factors, its accuracy compared to BMI and waist circumference is unknown in a Mexican population. We the classification of BF%, WC detection factors sample adults; optimized cutoffs as well sensitivity specificity at commonly BF% international were estimated. also estimated conditional means cutoffs. performed cross-sectional analysis data on composition, anthropometry factors(high glucose, high triglycerides, low HDL...
Genome-wide association studies in people with European ancestry suggest that polymorphisms genes involved vitamin D (VD) metabolism have an effect on serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. However, nothing is known about these populations Amerindian ancestry. Our aim was to evaluate the between genetic variants receptor (VDR) and binding protein (GC) genes, VD pathway, deficiency 689 unrelated Mexican postmenopausal women. We also described frequencies 355 women from different ethnic...
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...
Abstract Objective To assess vitamin D dietary sources, intake and 25-hydroxyvitamin status their association with individual sociodemographic characteristics in Mexican children. Design Data obtained from 2695 children aged 1–11 years the National Health Nutrition Survey (2012) were analysed. Diet was assessed by a 141-item FFQ. 25-Hydroxyvitamin measured chemiluminescent assay. Results Mean 3·38 ( se 0·09) µg/d (135·2 3·6) IU/d) among pre-school 2·85 0·06) (114·0 2·4) school-age Milk...
Approximately 25% of the adult population worldwide and 49.8% Mexican adults have metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is result unhealthy dietary sleeping patterns, sedentary behaviors, physical inactivity. The objective our study was to evaluate association between behaviors as screen-based time (SBST) each component among who participated in Mexico National Survey Health Nutrition Mid-way 2016.We analyzed sociodemographic, clinical, activity data from 3,166 aged 20 years or older....
Epidemiologic research suggests that physical activity (PA) reduces the risk of chronic diseases including gallstones.This study explores association between recreational (RPA) and asymptomatic gallstones (AG) in adult Mexican women.We performed a cross-sectional analysis women from Health Workers Cohort Study. The population included aged 17-94 years, with no history gallstone (GS) or cholecystectomy. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect information on weight change,...
Objetivo. Examinar los factores asociados con el incumplimiento de las recomendaciones comportamientos del movimiento (CM) y la asociación estado nutricional en escolares adolescentes mexicanos. Material métodos. Estudio transversal datos Encuesta Nacional Salud Nutrición 2022-2023 (Ensanut 2022-2023). Se obtuvo información CM (actividad física, sedentarismo sueño), características sociodemográficas (sexo, índice bienestar, nivel educativo área) (índice masa corporal). utilizaron regresiones...
Depression is a foremost cause of morbidity throughout the world and prevalence depression in women about twice as high men. Additionally, overweight obesity are major global health concerns. We explored relationship between body fat, role physical activity diet mediators this sample 456 adult female Mexican workers.Longitudinal cross-sectional analyses using data from Health Workers Cohort Study (HWCS) Measures fat mass (kg DEXA), dietary intake (kcal FFQ), leisure time (METs/wk) (CES-D)...
Objective. To evaluate the combined use of IMSS preventive health services (PHS) and practice physical activity (PA) in order to determine their association with perceived health-related quality life (HRQoL) older adults. Materials methods. A survey-based cross-sectional study was conducted at nine primary care units (PHCUs) Mexico City. The 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey evaluated HRQoL, while PA PHS were assessed through self-report. Linear regression analyses performed relationship...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between dietary patterns, stunting, and overweight among Mexican preschoolers. METHODS This study was conducted with anthropometric (weight, height/length), sociodemographic (age, gender, education level of household head, socioeconomic status, country region area, ethnicity, beneficiary social programs), data (Semiquantitative-food frequency questionnaire) on children aged from 1 to 4 years collected National Health Nutrition Survey-2012. Dietary...
<i>Background:</i> In Mexico, there is scarce information about the body composition in elderly. Some researchers have measured fat by anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance. These techniques are practical can be used field; however, proper validation required. This implies use of accurate precise methods. elderly, Siri’s three-compartment (3C) model has been proposed as feasible alternative to gold standard four-compartment model. <i>Objective:</i> To evaluate 3C...
