Abstract Objective: To describe the strategies implemented in 17 Latin American countries for obesity prevention and to provide an overview of their impact. Design: A thorough search of strategies and their impact was done through an Internet search, governmental webpages, reports, and research articles in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Setting: Latin America (not including the Caribbean countries). Participants: any. Results: The Ministry of Health is the main oversight for obesity prevention, with six countries having a specific structure for this. Regular obesity monitoring occurs in a few countries and 13 countries have a national obesity prevention plan. The main regulations being implemented/designed are front-of-package labeling (16 countries), school environment (15 countries), school nutrition education (9 countries), promotion of physical activity level (9 countries), and sugar-sweetened beverage tax (8 countries). All countries have dietary guidelines. The main community-based programs being implemented are school meals (17 countries), complementary nutrition (11 countries), nutrition education (14 countries), promotion of physical activity (9 countries), and healthy environments (9 countries). Most of these strategies have not been evaluated. The few with positive results have used a coordinated, multi-disciplinary, and multi-sector approach, with legislation and executive-level support. Conclusions: important obesity prevention strategies are being implemented in the 17 Latin American countries included in the present review. However, few have been evaluated to assess their impact on preventing obesity. This information can help assess which actions can be generalized to other countries within the region and can help inform how to prevent obesity in different settings.

The Relationship

This study sought to determine the relationship between maternal controlling feeding styles and maternal perception of their infant’s ability to regulate feeding and infant weight. A cross-sectional survey of 208 mothers with infants between 2 weeks and 6 months old was performed in a private pediatric office. The authors assessed the relationship between restrictive and pressuring feeding styles with ( a) maternal perception of the infant’s ability to regulate feeding and ( b) infant weight (both actual and perceived). Restrictive feeding style was associated with the perception that infants could not recognize their own hunger or satiety and with concern that the infant would become overweight in the future. Pressuring feeding style was associated with the perception that the baby’s appetite is less than other babies and with concern that the infant would become underweight in the future. Maternal perceptions of infant feeding and weight should be incorporated into early obesity prevention strategies.
