The government must implement good nutritional guidelines to help their people. a healthy country is composed by healthy people. We have to educate them as soon as possible to save more lives.

I am writing a book on health and nutrition, and documenting the rise of obesity around the world, and would like permission to use information from this article: National Survey for Health and Nutrition in Mexico (2006). The following is an excerpt from my book: According to the 2006 National Survey for Health and Nutrition in Mexico, there was not one state in the Republic with overweight or obesity prevalence under 55%, and there were many that were upwards of 75%. I will cite however you wish, so please specify if you would like additional citation, and I can also reference the web address. Thank you for your time and attention, Nicole Hello.

Diet of course, is another matter. But more surprisingly, I would have expected more border states (Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon, especially) to have made the list with all the ease of U.S. fast food/eating habits across the border. It's a mixed bag for Jalisco given Guadalajara/Puerto Vallarta where although GDL is the 2nd largest city, there is a lot of money here (as in any big city) so there's also the drive to be thin, plastic surgeons on every corner, etc. Toda por la belleza (si tienes el dinero). I also wonder what the various indigenous races' genetics factor in. La Sierra is not too far away--people from that area were the closest I've seen locally to true 100% Indian roots. An interesting study to be sure... I find this surprising too, especially given the poverty. Diet of course, is another matter.

Roughly 60% of all cases of diabetes can be directly attributed to weight gain, for example, and the world is gaining weight. Yach estimates that people with diabetes will “increase from 175 million in 2000 to 353 million in 2030, with the biggest increases expected in India (25 million to 59 million) and China (14 million to 25 million).” Jon-Mikel writes that 70 percent of Mexican adults are overweight or obese. Obesity and overweight are up from 59 percent in 1991 in Mexican cities. Diabetes, pre-diabetes and weight gain are preventable, even if you live in a developed country. See your doctor.
