儿童肥胖是一种世界性的健康流行病，影响着发达国家和发展中国家。在儿童肥胖率方面，墨西哥仅次于美国排名第二。青少年肥胖对身体和社会心理发展，包括心血管、呼吸和与健康有关的生活质量，具有直接和长期的影响。最终要改善这一流行病，就需要在家庭和社区一级作出改变，同时采取政策举措，支持更健康的饮食和活动习惯。针对超重/肥胖青少年的循证干预措施包括以家庭为基础的生活方式项目，包括关注饮食数量和质量、身体活动、久坐行为和支持改变的行为策略。虽然大部分研究是在美国进行的，但最近的几项研究表明，类似的方法对墨西哥的年轻人也有效果。
Pediatric obesity is a worldwide health epidemic affecting both developed and developing countries. Mexico ranks second to the United States in rates of pediatric obesity. Obesity among youth has immediate and long-term consequences on physical and psychosocial development, including cardiovascular, respiratory, and health-related quality of life. Eventual amelioration of this epidemic will require change at the level of the family and community, along with policy initiatives to support healthier eating and activity habits. Evidence-based interventions for overweight/obese youth include family-based lifestyle programs that incorporate attention to diet quantity and quality, physical activity, sedentary behavior, and behavioral strategies to support change. While much of this research has been conducted in the United States, several recent studies suggest the efficacy of similar approaches for youth in Mexico.
