Fat mass obesity-associated () (rs9939609) and melanocortin 4 receptor () (rs17782313) SNP are positively associated with obesity and blood pressure in Mexican school-aged children.

Childhood overweight and obesity are worldwide public health problems and risk factors for chronic diseases. The presence of SNP in several genes has been associated with the presence of obesity. A total of 580 children (8-13 years old) from Queretaro, Mexico, participated in this cross-sectional study, which evaluated the associations of rs9939609 (fat mass obesity-associated ()), rs17782313 (melanocortin 4 receptor ()) and rs6548238 (transmembrane protein 18 ()) SNP with obesity and metabolic risk factors.

High Iodine and Salt Intakes and Obesity do not Modify the Thyroid Function in Mexican Schoolchildren.

Mexico is considered as a nutritional transition country with a high prevalence of overweight and obesity, and recent studies have reported a high iodine intake in children. Both high iodine intake and obesity have been associated with thyroid dysfunction. Our aim was to assess iodine and salt intake and thyroid function in Mexican schoolchildren with normal weight and obesity.
