“…Participant’s interviews included a sociodemographic questionnaire [13], two non-consecutive 24-h recalls [14], a short version of IPAQ questionnaire to measure the level of individual physical activity (PAL) proposed by WHO [15], and a household food security (HFS) scale developed for the Northwest Mexico population [16]. This scale resulted in 15 items categorized as three dimensions, similar to that of the Universal and the Latin-American and Caribbean Scale: Worry or uncertainty for food availability, diet quantity and quality, and socially accepted ways of acquiring food [17,18].…”

Mexican migrant farm workers are one of the poorest and most marginalized social groups within the country. They face the double burden of malnutrition, food insecurity, as well as harsh living and labor conditions. Objective: To examine the relationship between household food insecurity (HFI) and obesity in a population of migrant farm workers in highly modernized agribusiness areas of Northwest Mexico. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a concentric (site) (n = 146 households) and systematic selection of participants (adult men and women). Methods included questionnaires regarding socio-demographic characteristics, food security, diet (two non-consecutive 24-h recalls), and physical activity (PA). Anthropometric data included height, weight, and waist circumference. Data analysis covered descriptive statistics, multivariate linear and logistic regression. Results: Sample showed 75% prevalence of overweight and obesity, while 87% of households reported some level of HFI. Mild HFI resulted in five times more probability of farm workers’ obesity (OR = 5.18, 95% CI: 1.37–19.58). However, there was a protective effect of HFI for obesity among men (OR 0.089, 95% CI: 0.01–0.58) in a context of intense labor-related PA. Conclusion: There is a difference by gender in the relationship of HFI with obesity prevalence related perhaps to the energy expenditure of male agricultural migrant workers.

“…29 Estas intervenciones promueven el abastecimiento regular de alimentos con el fin de mejorar el sistema alimentario, así como huertas comunitarias, restaurantes populares, bancos de alimentos comunitarios y programas de educación alimentaria con restricciones en la compra de alimentos procesados y ultraprocesados, 30 a manera de promover el fortalecimiento de redes familiares y vecinales orientadas al intercambio local de alimentos saludables. 31 Las limitaciones del estudio comprenden la baja participación por parte de la figura paterna de los menores, lo cual pudo enriquecer los datos obtenidos. Por lo tanto, se requiere profundizar en la participación de la figura paterna en la crianza de los menores, en el análisis de las prácticas de crianza y en las preferencias alimentarias en contextos de bajo y mediano ingreso en donde hay una mayor prevalencia de sobrepeso.…”

Objetivo. Analizar el rol de los factores socioeconómicos y culturales en la vulnerabilidad a la obesidad en madres y sus hijos menores de dos años, en localidades del Sur de Morelos, México. Material y métodos. Se realizó trabajo de campo y observación no participativa. Durante 2019, se aplicaron 17 entrevistas semiestructuradas a una submuestra de una cohorte. Los datos fueron ordenados y analizados con apoyo del software Atlas-Ti v. 7, usando 18 códigos libres. Resultados. Factores sociales como los ingresos del hogar y los roles de género, combinados con la influencia de la parentela y las creencias sobre la preferencia de la niñez por productos ultraprocesados, predisponen la disponibilidad de bebidas y alimentos calóricos que generan vulnerabilidad a la obesidad durante la infancia temprana. La actividad económica de las madres, la participación de los padres y evitar influencia de parientes puede predisponer una mejor calidad de los alimentos y mayor actividad física. Conclusiones. La baja disponibilidad de alimentos saludables, los riesgos de inseguridad alimentaria y los factores familiares y culturales, que se presentan en contextos de vulnerabilidad económica y social, incrementan la vulnerabilidad del binomio madre-hijo a la obesidad.

“…(2) We used a household food security scale developed and validated for the northern region of Mexico, similar in format to the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale and the Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale (ELCSA), to capture household and individual access to food, as well as emotional perceptions streaming from food deprivation (food anxiety and lack of choice) [59,60]. The number of affirmative answers (15 Yes/No questions) was used to categorize households in food security or food insecurity.…”

Obesity and certain nutritional deficiencies are global health problems that emerge in systems of interdependent individual biological and historical factors and social environmental determinants of health. Nutrition security is a framework that assumes stable access to sufficient innocuous and nutritious food (i.e., food security), health care, and sanitation, and information that in conjunction allows self-care-oriented behavior for health protection. To understand the social environment of nutrition insecurity, the object of study was the food distribution and consumption system of a marginalized community in Hermosillo, Mexico. We assessed the distribution of food establishments by social marginalization level in basic geo-statistical areas and the nutrition security status of women in underserved neighborhoods. We found that in Hermosillo >90% of food establishments included for analysis (grocery stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, and beer deposits) were distributed outside of areas with high levels of social marginalization. The nutrition security assessment suggests that low intakes of fruit and vegetables and high intakes of fat and sugar may be associated with food accessibility and acceptability factors in individual decision-making processes. Future research should take into account the variability of food system environments and address the particular needs of communities in terms of food and nutrition security.
