Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors Toward Salt Consumption and Its Association With 24-Hour Urinary Sodium and Potassium Excretion in Adults Living in Mexico City: Cross-Sectional Study

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors Toward Salt Consumption and Its Association With 24-Hour Urinary Sodium and Potassium Excretion in Adults Living in Mexico City: Cross-Sectional Study

In Mexico, salt- and sodium-related KAB and its association with sodium and potassium intake have not yet been studied. Given this context, we aimed to describe self-reported KAB related to salt and sodium consumption in a sample of volunteers from Mexico City and the metropolitan area. Additionally, we explored the association between salt- and sodium-related KAB and 24-hour urinary sodium and potassium excretion as a surrogate for actual intake.

Cultural Adaptation and User Satisfaction of an Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Program for Depression and Anxiety Among College Students in Two Latin American Countries: Focus Group Study With Potential Users and a Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study With Actual Users

The second focus group included 3 Colombian university women, 1 of which had also studied in Mexico and thus, had unique experience in both contexts. In phase 3, the same research team incorporated the cultural suggestions provided in the previous phase. In phase 4, 765 college students (mean age 21.4, SD 2.9 years; 621, 81.2% female; 466, 60.9% originating from Mexico and 299, 39.1% from Colombia) were recruited as part of a clinical trial to reduce anxiety and depression [29,30].

Crowdfunding for Complementary and Alternative Cancer Treatments in Tijuana, Mexico: Content Analysis

Crowdfunding for Complementary and Alternative Cancer Treatments in Tijuana, Mexico: Content Analysis

Prior analyses of crowdfunding campaigns for CAM cancer treatments have identified Mexico as a common destination. Peterson et al [7] found that 81.9% (N=194) of US-based campaigners on the Go Fund Me crowdfunding platform who sought CAM cancer treatment abroad intended to travel to Mexico. Within Mexico, the Tijuana region on the US border is especially popular. The 5 most commonly named facilities in 1 study of crowdfunding for CAM cancer treatments were all located in Tijuana, Mexico [9].

Effectiveness and Implementation of a Text Messaging mHealth Intervention to Prevent Childhood Obesity in Mexico in the COVID-19 Context: Mixed Methods Study

Effectiveness and Implementation of a Text Messaging mHealth Intervention to Prevent Childhood Obesity in Mexico in the COVID-19 Context: Mixed Methods Study

Mexico is particularly alarmed by the escalating prevalence of overweight/obesity among children under 5 years old, with the most recent national estimates projecting a combined rate of approximately 8% in 2022 [4]. Nevertheless, socioeconomically disadvantaged families are often more challenging for the health sector to engage with, and they may be less inclined to participate in programs promoting healthy behaviors [5].

The Effects of an Educational Intervention About Front-of-Package Labeling on Food and Beverage Selection Among Children and Their Caregivers: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

The Effects of an Educational Intervention About Front-of-Package Labeling on Food and Beverage Selection Among Children and Their Caregivers: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

In Mexico, it has been estimated that more than 30% of the total energy consumed comes from ultraprocessed foods, favoring the prevalence of overweight and obesity. The daily dietary guidelines by the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Health in Mexico were an effort for people to improve their food selection and purchasing; however, they did not show good results due to the complexity of interpreting them [5].

Mexico’s HIV epidemic is concentrated within key populations [33,34], including MSM and TW in the Mexico-United States border region. HIV prevalence among MSM and TW in Tijuana, which lies along Mexico’s northern border with San Diego, California, is estimated to be approximately 20%, with nearly 90% of those testing HIV positive reporting no prior knowledge of their HIV status [35,36].
