SALUD PUBLICA DE MEXICO(2022)
摘要
In recent decades, the growing obesity epidemic in Mexico has become one of the most important public health challenges faced by the country. With support from the World Obesity Federation, we formed a working group in 2021 to identify and summarize priority actions that Mexico can take to face this epidemic. More than 1 000 health professionals joined the development and discussion process. Recommendations from previously published, high-level documents and guidelines were considered.In commemoration of World Obesity Day 2022, this statement is presented as input for health care professionals to develop measures to address obesity. The statement includes 10 recommendations with population-level and individual-level actions. It emphasizes the importance of social participation, comprehensive interventions with a person-centered perspective, planetary sustainability, improving education and communication campaigns, as well as fostering a built environment that promotes active living, and shielding prevention and control efforts from conflicts of interest.The statement calls for obesity to be treated seriously, based on scientific evidence, in a timely and comprehensive manner, employing a life-course and ethical approach that does not perpetuate weight stigma in society.
