Overweight and obesity in women participating in social feeding programs in Mexico: data from vulnerable population groups in the Mexican national nutrition and health survey 2018

Abstract Introduction: Mexico is a country with a high prevalence of overweight and obesity. However, social feeding programs often target only undernutrition in vulnerable population groups. Objective: to estimate the association of overweight and obesity (OW) with participation in a conditional cash transfers (CCT) program and other social feeding programs in women 15-49 years of age within the most economically vulnerable population in Mexico. Methods: anthropometric data, as well as information on participation in social feeding programs, household food insecurity and sociodemographic variables, were analyzed for women aged 15-49 living in localities of under 100,000 inhabitants in Mexico. Data was derived from the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2018. A multiple logistic regression model was applied to estimate the association between OW and participation in social feeding programs, as well as other covariables. Results: the prevalence of OW in women who benefited from CCT was 62 %, while for women who participated in this as well as other programs the prevalence was 72.9 % (p = 0.04). A protective association was observed between the CCT program and OW (OR = 0.72, p = 0.04). Additionally, benefitting from DIF Community Kitchens revealed a risk association with OW (OR = 2.76, p = 0.03). Conclusions: it is critical that the design of public policy and social feeding programs consider the scientific evidence generated through rich experiences in Mexico, such as the program of CCT Prospera. This will allow decision-makers to address the epidemiological health and nutrition problems impacting the Mexican population today.
