Abstract Background/Objective Mexico has one of the highest rates of obesity and overweight worldwide, affecting 75% of the population. The country has experienced a dietary and food retail transition involving increased availability of high-calorie-dense foods and beverages. This study aimed to assess the relationship between the retail food environment and body mass index (BMI) in Mexico. Subjects/Methods Geographical and food outlet data were obtained from official statistics; anthropometric measurements and socioeconomic characteristics of adult participants (N = 22,219) came from the nationally representative 2012 National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT). Densities (store count/census tract area (CTA)) of convenience stores, restaurants, fast-food restaurants, supermarkets and fruit and vegetable stores were calculated. The association of retail food environment variables, sociodemographic data and BMI was tested using multilevel linear regression models. Results Convenience store density was high (mean (SD) = 50.0 (36.9)/CTA) compared with other food outlets in Mexico. A unit increase in density of convenience stores was associated with a 0.003 kg/m2 (95% CI: 0.0006, 0.005, p = 0.011) increase in BMI, equivalent to 0.34 kg extra weight for an adult 1.60 m tall for every additional 10% store density increase (number of convenience stores per CTA (km2)). Metropolitan areas showed the highest density of food outlet concentration and the highest associations with BMI (β = 0.01, 95% CI: 0.004–0.01, p < 0.001). A 10% store density increase in these areas would represent a 1 kg increase in weight for an adult 1.60 m tall. Conclusions Convenience store density was associated with higher mean BMI in Mexican adults. An excessive convenience store availability, that offers unhealthy food options, coupled with low access to healthy food resources or stores retailing healthy food, including fruits and vegetables, may increase the risk of higher BMI. This is the first study to assess the association of the retail food environment and BMI at a national level in Mexico.

Introduction There is growing interest in the role of food environments in suboptimal diet and overweight and obesity. This review assesses the evidence for the link between the retail food environment, diet quality and body mass index (BMI) in the Canadian population. Methods We conducted a systematic keyword search in two bibliometric databases. We tabulated proportions of conclusive associations for each outcome and exposure of interest. Absolute and relative measures of exposure to the food environment were compared and theoretical framing of the associations noted. We assessed two key methodological issues identified a priori—measurement of BMI, and validation of the underlying retail food environment data. Results Seventeen studies were included in the review. There was little evidence of a food environment–diet quality relationship and modest evidence of a food environment–BMI relationship. Relative measures of the food environment were more often associated with an outcome in the expected direction than absolute measures, but many results were inconclusive. Most studies adopted ecological theoretical frameworks but methodologies were similar regardless of stated theoretical approaches. Self-reported BMI was common and there was no “gold standard” database of food outlets nor a consensus on best ways to validate the data. Conclusion There was limited evidence of a relationship between the food environment and diet quality, but stronger evidence of a relationship between the food environment and BMI for Canadians. Studies with broad geographic scope that adopt innovative methods to measure diet and health outcomes and use relative measures of the food environment derived in geographic information systems are warranted. Consensus on a gold standard food environment database and approaches to its validation would also advance the field.

Over Time

The purpose of this study was to describe the extent to which late postoperative health outcomes vary as a function of change in body mass index (BMI) in persons 65 years of age undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The mean age of the 90 persons in the original sample was 72.27 (±4.85) years. At follow-up (x = 18.73,s = 2.56 months postsurgery), 90% (n = 79 alive,n = 2 deceased, proxy completed interview) were contacted; 73% (n = 59) completed the telephone interview; and 9% (n = 8) were alive but lost to follow-up. BMI (kg/m2) was calculated from self-reported weight at follow-up. Outcomes included the Physical Component Summary (PCS) scale of the SF-36 Health Survey and readmission data. Thex (s ) for BMI at preoperative, postoperative, postdischarge, and follow-up were 28.1 (4.9) kg/ m2 , 28.76 (4.9) kg/m2, 27.11 (4.8) kg/m2, and 27.95 (4.7) kg/m2, respectively. BMI changed over time,P < 0.05. Those who were readmitted lost more weight between preoperative and postdischarge than those who were not readmitted (x BMI = –2.26 vs.x BMI = –1.35),t = 2.17,df = 27.05,P = 0.04. Those who lost less weight between preoperative and postdischarge were less likely to be readmitted,.2 = 5.755 (1),P = 0.02, with 25% sensitivity and 92% specificity. Thex (sx) for PCS at preoperative, postdischarge, and follow-up were 36.93 (1.62), 35.72 (1.27), and 42.26 (1.45), respectively, reflecting change over time,F = 11.43 (2),P < 0.001. At follow-up, older elective CABG patients do not appear to regain weight lost between preoperative and postdischarge; however, self-reported physical health is improved. Also, initial weight loss is related to readmissions.
