Prevalence and incidence of prediabetes in Latin America. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Prediabetes represents a significant public health challenge in Latin America. Its prevalence varies considerably depending on the diagnostic criteria used, which hinders a precise understanding of its magnitude in the region.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence and incidence of prediabetes in Latin America through a systematic review (SR).

Prevalence and factors associated with unhealthy metabolic status according to body mass index: analysis of a national nutritional survey.

Introduction: Although obesity substantially influences public health owing to related comorbidities, it has been discovered that the incidence of such issues is not directly related to obesity but to the patient's unhealthy metabolic status (MUS) independent of the body mass index (BMI).

Objectives: To describe the prevalence of UMS overall and according to BMI and determine the factors associated with it.

Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was used based on the analysis of secondary databases called the Life Stage Nutritional Surveillance Survey (VIANEV).
