Purpose: Personality traits are an important factor in health behaviors. However, personality traits and self-care in T2DM in the Mexican population are not yet explored due to this; the purpose of this work was to explore the relationship of personality traits with self-care in Mexican adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 197 T2DM patients from a primary care center in Oaxaca, Mexico.
Aim: To determine the relationship between social support in social networks and risk factors of overweight and obesity including healthy lifestyles and perceived barriers in adolescents.
Method: Descriptive and cross-sectional study with adolescents from a public high school in Nuevo León, Mexico. Anthropometric measurements were determined to obtain body mass index, behavioural measurements for perceived barriers to healthy eating and physical activity, as well as healthy lifestyles.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the relationship between specific genetic markers and metabolic syndromes like dyslipidemia, obesity, and type 2 diabetes in a Northeastern Mexican population.
- - Researchers analyzed 37 families, focusing on 63 specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and assessing factors like age, BMI, glucose tolerance, and blood lipid levels.
- - Four genetic markers were linked to these conditions: rs5210 (associated with T2DM), rs11196175 (linked to BMI and cholesterol/LDL levels), rs12255372 (connected to BMI and HDL/VLDL/triglyceride levels), and rs1885088 (related to LDL levels), all showing significant associations (
We measured Spanish-speaking patients' engagement in Interactive Voice Response (IVR) calls using data from self-management support studies in Honduras, Mexico and the US.
