Metodos: en estudio transversal, se incluyeron 321 adolescentes embarazadas de 13-19 anos que acudieron al Hospital Civil de Guadalajara Dr. Juan I Menchaca, Guadalajara (Jalisco, Mexico). Se encontraban sanas, en cualquier trimestre del embarazo y pertenecian a un nivel socioe-conomico bajo o medio-bajo. El estado civil se estratifico en: casadas; en union libre; soltera con una pareja y soltera sin pareja. Se incluyeron datos socio-demograficos, economicos y de habitos de alimentacion. Se utilizaron pruebas de ANOVA, pruebas post-hoc para Chi 2 , razon de momios y modelos de regresion logistica. Resultados: la frecuencia de las adolescentes casadas fue de 9,3%, 59,8% en union libre, 15,3% eran solteras sin pareja y 15,6% solteras con pareja. La baja escolaridad (RM 2,6 [1,5-4,4]) y la ocupacion en el hogar (RM 4,47 [1,99-10,0]) predominaron entre las adolescentes en union libre; la ocupacion en el hogar (RM 0,28 [0,127-0,61]) y cenar sin compania (RM 4,12 [1,62-10,8]) fueron significativamente mas frecuentes en adolescentes sin pareja. El consumo de verduras fue menor en las adolescentes casadas y en quienes cohabitaban con pareja; el consumo de frijoles y pan dulce fue menor en adolescentes embarazadas casadas. Conclusion: debido a que ciertas variables y habitos de alimentacion mostraron diferencias entre los grupos es pertinente analizar las adolescentes embarazadas de acuerdo a su estado civil.

The aim was to examine the associations between maternal and child appetitive traits, using the AEBQ-Esp and CEBQ-Mex adapted for use in Mexican populations. Sociodemographic data, weights and heights of mothers and their children (aged 3–13 years), who were recruited from a teaching hospital in Guadalajara, Mexico, were measured. Mothers completed both the AEBQ-Esp and the CEBQ-Mex. The CEBQ-Mex was ...

Our aim was to analyze the association of dietary and sociodemographic factors with NAFLD in obese children and adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-three obese patients from 6-16 years of age were included in the present analytic cross-sectional study. Obesity was diagnosed with a body mass index z-score > 2 SD. NAFLD was estimated by liver ultrasound, serum amino transferases, and elastography. The sociodemographic variables were evaluated using validated questionnaires. Diet was estimated through two 24-hour recall dietary surveys focused on the quantity of food energy, simple sugars, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and antioxidants. RESULTS Hepatic steatosis was identified by abdominal ultrasound in 13 patients (39.4%) and the serum alanine aminotransferase level was above the upper reference value in 54.2%. A higher educational level in both parents, greater monthly food expenditure, and a higher socioeconomic level were associated with NAFLD. Overall, simple sugar and saturated fat consumption was above the recommended daily intake, whereas vitamin E and PUFA consumption was below those parameters. CONCLUSIONS NAFLD was identified in one-third of the cases. There was an association between NAFLD and sociodemographic variables. Both groups had an increased intake of simple sugars and a reduced intake of PUFAs. The selective occurrence of NAFLD could be related to a genetic predisposition that has been demonstrated in a Mexican population.

Obesity is a multifactorial disease in which genetic factors and the infl uence of an obesogenic environment characterized by the wide availability of food, decreased opportunities for physical activity and sedentary lifestyles. Overweight and obesity in children can impair their physical and psychological health in the short, medium and long term. Disorders such as dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, glucose intolerance, and other cardiovascular risk factors such as prehypertension and hypertension occur more frequently in children and adolescents with obesity. The treatment of obesity is chronic and complex, and requires the participation of the entire family. Therefore, prevention is considered as the most cost-effective strategy and sustainable to abate the problem of childhood obesity. Prevention includes changes in lifestyle and eating habits, and i...

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue comparar el consumo habitual de alimentos de niños en una zona urbana y otra rural en la población de Arandas, México.En un estudio transversal se incluyeron 196 niños de cinco a doce años que asistían a escuelas de educación preescolar y escolar. Se recabaron datos sociodemográficos, se realizó evaluación antropométrica y del consumo de alimentos, mediante dos encuestas alimentarias de recordatorio de 24 horas y otra de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos. Se compararon las características generales y del consumo de alimentosentre niños procedentes de zona rural y de zona urbana con las pruebas t de Student y chi cuadrada. El número de miembros por familia fue superior en zona rural, mientras que el ingreso familiar y el gasto en alimentación fueron superiores en zona urbana. No identificamos diferencias en la distribución del IMC, índice talla para la edad, ni en el consumo de energía y nutrientes entre zonas urbana y rural. El consumo de frutas y productos de origen animal fue más común en zona urbana, mientras que el de cereales y leguminosas fue más común en zona rural. Existen diferencias en el consumo de alimentos en estas poblaciones, con mayor consumo de alimentos considerados como tradicionales en zona rural y de alimentos de origen animal en zona urbana. Es importante identificar estas diferencias en vista de la transición nutricio alimentaria en la que se encuentra el país. Palabras clave: Consumo de alimentos, niños, zona urbana, zona rural, transición alimentaria. SUMMARY. Comparison of foodconsumption in children living in an urban area and a rural population in Arandas, Mexico. The objective of this study was to compare the habitual food intake of children in urban and rural areas in the town of Arandas, Mexico. In a cross-sectional study 196 children from five to twelveyears,attending preschool and school education were included. Sociodemographic and anthropometric data were collected, as well as food consumption using two dietary surveys of 24-hour recall and a food frequency consumption questionnaire. General and food consumption characteristics among children from rural and urban areas were compared with Student t test and chi square. The number of members per household was higher in rural areathan in urban area, while household income and expenditure on food was higher in urban area. There were no differences in the distribution of BMI, height for age index, or the consumption of energy and nutrients between urban and rural area. The consumption of fruits and animal products was more frequent in urban area, while cereals and legumes were more common in rural area. There are differences in food intakein these populations, with increased consumption of foods considered traditional in rural area, and animal foods in urban area. It is important to identify these differences in view of the currentnutritional and epidemiologicaltransition of the Mexican population.

The purpose is to show lipid peroxide’s serum concentration trend during a four-week nutritional recovery period in children with primary and severe protein energy malnutrition (PEM). Methods. In a clinical intervention 12 primarily and severely malnourished children (three to 48 months of age) were included. Dependent variable: Serum lipid peroxide (LPO) concentration (nmol/mL). Independent variables: non lactose starting infant formula (200 kcal/kg/d and proteins 4 g/kg/d). Age, sex, nutritional recovery, weight/age, length/age and weight/length indices calculated and expressed as Z scores were included. For statistical analysis a repeated measure ANOVA model was applied. A non-parametric Mann Whitney U-Test was used to compare groups. Null hypothesis was rejected with a p value

Therefore, this clinical guide pretends to be an instrument for supporting the professionals of health for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of obesity in children using the levels of medical attention. It is known that the treatment is difficult and it requires a full multidisciplinary team of professionals and that the key of prevention is the modification of the sedentary lifestyle and the decrease of energy intake. This guide was elaborated by pediatricians working in nutrition in public and university institutions, family and general physicians and pediatricians with private practice.
