Indicators of Dietary Behavior and Physical Activity Change Associated with Metabolic Control of Obesity, Hypertension, and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Mexican Adults: National Nutrition and Health Survey in Mexico, 2016.

Obesity (OB), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), and hypertension (HTN) are health issues in Mexico linked to unhealthy behaviors. This study investigates the relationship between behavior change indicators and metabolic control in Mexican adults with OB, T2D, and HTN. We used data from the 2016 National Health and Nutrition Survey Midway (ENSANUT MC-2016), representing ∼59.

Perception of parents' physical activity as a positive model on physical activity of adolescents.

Physical activity (PA) promotes an adequate level of health in adolescents. The PA behaviors moderation is led by the adolescents' perception of their parents. We suppose that higher adolescents' perception of their parents' physical activity influences the physical activity spent in adolescents.

[Antioxidant use as dietary therapy in patients with multiple sclerosis].

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is an immune-mediated disease that produces chronic inflammation and neural degeneration. The disease progresses with acute attacks that result in myelin inflammation. This in turn increases oxidative stress and favors the appearance of reactive oxygen species.

[Polyunsaturated fatty acids for multiple sclerosis treatment: scientific evidence].

Introduction: Fatty acids have an important role in structure and function of the nervous system. Recently, epidemiologic studies on neurodegenerative disorders have evaluated the usefulness of polyunsaturated fatty acids on multiple sclerosis.

Objective: To examine recent studies, clinical trials, and reviews on the therapeutic effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids in multiple sclerosis.

Body composition by three-compartment model and relative validity of some methods to assess percentage body fat in mexican healthy elderly subjects.

Background: In Mexico, there is scarce information about the body composition in the elderly. Some researchers have measured body fat by anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance. These techniques are practical and can be used in the field; however, proper validation is required.
