Sobrepeso y obesidad en preadolescentes mexicanos: estudio descriptivo, variables correlacionadas y directrices de prevención

Overweight and obesity are serious public health problems. A descriptive and correlational study of variables associated with overweight and obesity of Mexican school preadolescents in Mexico DF was performed. General self-esteem (LAWSEQ, for its English acronym), body esteem (BES, for its English acronym), Attitudes towards food (ChEAT, for its English acronym) and body image (BIA, for its English acronym) were assessed and comparisons by gender and age were drawn. The sample was formed by 600 students, boys and girls aged between nine and twelve. A general low self-esteem and body esteem (lower in girls and in older participants) as well as a good attitude toward eating were found. Participants perceived themselves and believed they were seen as overweight and obese but ideally they wanted thinner figures in the future. Prevention programs are proposed to include health education, physical activity, genetic control, functional attitudes (geared toward generating good self-esteem and positive attitudes toward healthy eating), as well as involvement of the family and social environment.

Secuestro extorsivo económico: significados construidos por una pareja sobreviviente

The meanings that we elaborate with the experiences that we live, and not the experiences themselves, are those that define the aftermath. The objective of this investigation was to explore and analize from social constructionism, the meanings constructed by a couple on their experience of economic kidnapping, such as thoughts and feelings derived from them. Case study was the method implemented on this process, and as a data collection technique, the semi structured interview. Although in both narratives religion was present, for the woman the kidnapping signified a test of strength and opportunity, and for the man as a punishment and a warning; for both fear was one of the feelings present since their capture. After the releasing, their feelings and thoughts were related to the meanings constructed, in the woman a desire of improvement and a better life were found, and in the man feelings of guilt.El objetivo de esta investigacion fue explorar y analizar desde el construccionismo social, los significados construidos por una pareja sobre su vivencia de secuestro extorsivo economico, asi como los pensamientos y sentimientos derivados de ellos.
