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…

The epidemiology of good nutrition in a population with a high prevalence of malnutrition
In an attempt to detect those factors which, even in very poor families, allow good child nutrition, a comparison was made of data obtained from the families of well‐nourished and of malnourished children standardized by socio‐economical level. Clear differences were found in some biological characteristics of the mother‐child pair; the well‐nourished children were more frequently males, they were older, their mothers had a better diet, and weani…
Correlation between family and infant food habits by scalogram analysis
370 randomly selected families from an urban and a rural communities located in an industrializing area of Northern Mexico were studied. The foods consumed by the family the day before the interview as well as indicators of education, occupation and economical level of the family were determined. Type and sequence of foods introduced to the infant's diet were also investigated in 199 cases. Guttman scales for the family diet and the infant diet a…
