Prevalence of obesity and diabetes in the socioeconomic transition of rural Mayas of Yucatan from 1962 to 2000
Background: The Mayas of the State of Yucatan in Mexico are the only aboriginal group with obesity and diabetes data before 1997. Objective: To analyze socioeconomic trends associated with the increase in obesity and diabetes seen in rural Yucatan from 1962 to 2000. Methods: Body weight, height and venous Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) were measured in 263 rural Maya adults participating in a 2000 nutrition survey. Results: Diabetes (FBG > 125 mg/dL…
The Modernization of Cooking Techniques in Two Rural Mayan Communities of Yucatán
The objective of this article is to provide information on cooking techniques used by two rural communities of Yucatán. We used a 24-hour recall method with 275 participants consuming 763 dishes. Dishes were classified according to cooking technique: 205 were lard-fried (27%), 169 oil-fried (22%), and 389 boiled/grilled (51%). The smaller more secluded community (San Rafael) consumed more fried dishes than the larger community (Uci) (54% versus 4…

Studies on several genetic hematological traits of the Mexican population. XII. Distribution of blood group antigens in twelve Indian tribes
Blood samples from 1090 Mexican Indians belonging to the Chol, Chontal, Totonac, Huastec, Mixe, Mazatec, Zapotec, Mixtec, Chinantec, Nahua, Cora and Huichol linguistic groups, were obtained and examined in regard to the following blood group antigens: A, B. M, N, P, C, c, D, E, e, Fy(a), K and Di(a). The gene frequencies were similar to what has been described for other Amerindians; high values for O, M, CDe, cDE and Duffy; low to absent Kell and…
