ARREDONDO, Armando et al. Socioeconomic determinants of maternal obesity in Mexico and France. Comparative analysis of two cohorts. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.2, pp.245-253. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v20n2.72848.
Objective
To identify and analyze the socioeconomic indicators of maternal obesity in Mexico and France.
Material and Methods
Comparative study of two cohorts: EDEN (France) and NUTTSEA (Mexico). The study population consisted of women who requested prenatal consultation at week 24 of pregnancy. Data were collected using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The variables of interest were socioeconomic aspects, nutrition, anthropometry and food security. The quantitative analysis was performed using Stata and the qualitative analysis with Atlas-ti.
Results
In the EDEN cohort, 68.6% were aged 25-34 years, 73% had paid employment and 53% completed high school. In addition, 6.6% reported having difficulty accessing food and the mean gestational BMI was 23.23 ± 4.6. In the NUTTSEA cohort, 55% were in the age range 18-24 years, 15% reported having paid employment, 42% had completed secondary education, 32.1% presented a degree of food insecurity, and the mean BMI was 27.8 ± 4.8.
Conclusions
The qualitative and quantitative results of both cohorts suggest that populations with greater socio-economic vulnerability are more prone to maternal obesity, which leads to determine guidelines on barriers and facilitators to strengthen programs to prevent it maternal obesity.
