ABSTRACT
Objective. To estimate usual intake and the prevalence of
excessive intake (PE) and insufficient intake (PI) of trans fatty
acids (FAs) and other dietary FAs in the Mexican adult population
in 2012 and 2016, and to compare these time points.
Materials and methods. Data were collected through
dietary recall using the five-step multiple-pass method of
the 2012 and 2016 Mexican National Health and Nutrition
Surveys. Prevalences were estimated using the Iowa State
University method. Linear and logistic regressions were used
for analytic comparisons.
Results. Both in 2012 and 2016,
we observed high PE in trans FA, saturated FA, and total fat.
High PI was found for polyunsaturated FA, omega 6, omega 3,
Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) + Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA).
In 2016, PE was lower in trans FAs (29.1 vs. 38.4%), total fat
(14.9 vs. 17.8%), saturated FAs (45.6 vs. 54.6%). PI was also
lower in omega 3 FA (90.7 vs. 92.8%), omega 6 FA (39.8 vs.
62.2%), and EPA + DHA FA (96.3 vs. 99.6%; p‹0.05) (p‹0.05)
vs 2012.
Conclusion. Mexican adults showed notably high
PE in trans FA, saturated FA, and total fat, as well as high PI
in polynsaturated FA, omega 6, omega 3, and EPA. Given the
associated health risks, it is critical to implement nutrition
policies that regulate trans and saturated FAs in Mexico and
faciliate improved dietary quality towards more polyunsaturated
and omega 3 FAs, and less trans and saturated FAs.
