Main Retailers In Which Mexican Households Acquire Their Food Supply.

Objective: To describe the frequency of food and beverages purchased made by Mexican households at different types of grocery retailers.

Design: A national cross-sectional survey.

Setting: Mexico.

Latin dance and Qigong/Tai Chi effects on physical activity and body composition in breast cancer survivors: A pilot study.

Background: Breast cancer survivors (BCS), particularly Latina BCS, experience weight gain and reduced physical activity (PA) post-treatment increasing the risk for recurrence. There is a lack of evidence on the intensity and type of PA needed to engage cultural subgroups and improve clinical outcomes. This study developed and piloted two non-traditional PA interventions among a diverse sample of BCS.

Food, energy, and nutrient supply in Mexican households from 1984 to 2018.

Introduction: information about changes in food and energy supply, macronutrient and micronutrient availability by processing level is required to understand the nutritional transition in Mexican society. Objective: to describe the food, energy, and nutrient supply in Mexican households from 1984 to 2018. Methods: five waves of a Mexican cross-sectional survey were analyzed to identify changes in food, energy, and nutrient supplies in households.

Availability, variety and distribution of healthy and unhealthy foods and beverages sold at street food stands in Mexico City.

Objective: To examine differences in the availability, variety and distribution of foods and beverages sold at street food stands (SFS) across neighbourhood income levels in Mexico City.

Design: Cross-sectional.

Setting: Twenty neighbourhoods representing low-, middle- and high-income levels in Mexico City.

Development and Interrater Reliability of a Street Food Stand Assessment Tool.

Objective: To design and test the interrater reliability of a Street Food Stand Assessment Tool (SFSAT).

Design: Variables were adapted from validated assessment tools, field observations, and the Mexican Dietary Guidelines. Two researchers tested the SFSAT by observing street food stands (SFS) in 3 middle- to high-income neighborhoods.

Street Food Stand Availability, Density, and Distribution Across Income Levels in Mexico City.

Street food stands (SFS) are an understudied element of the food environment. Previous SFS studies have not used a rigorous approach to document the availability, density, and distribution of SFS across neighborhood income levels and points of access in Mexico City. A random sample ( = 761) of street segments representing 20 low-, middle-, and high-income neighborhoods were assessed using geographic information system (GIS) and ground-truthing methods.

Relationship between different levels of the Mexican food environment and dietary intake: a qualitative systematic review.

Objective: To investigate the possible associations between the food environment and dietary intake in the Mexican population.

Design: Four databases (PubMed, PsychInfo, Web of Science and SCIelo) were used to retrieve relevant articles using an open timeframe. Articles were reviewed if they contained a systematic measure (i.

Are physical activity studies in Hispanics meeting reporting guidelines for continuous monitoring technology? A systematic review.

Background: Continuous monitoring technologies such as accelerometers and pedometers are the gold standard for physical activity (PA) measurement. However, inconsistencies in use, analysis, and reporting limit the understanding of dose-response relationships involving PA and the ability to make comparisons across studies and population subgroups. These issues are particularly detrimental to the study of PA across different ethnicities with different PA habits.
