ABSTRACT

Background: In Mexico the nutritional imbalances for excess due to the acquisition of feeding inadequate habits constitute a risk for the development of obesity and other cardiovascular risk factors.
Objective: To determine the vascular and metabolic characteristics and the dietary patterns in a group of diabetic and hypertensive female patients in a rural population from Michoacán, México.
Material and methods: A prospective, comparative, observational, cross- sectional study, survey type in a rural community, was carried out. We recorded fasting glycaemia, weight, height, waist perimeter, body mass index, and blood pressure, exposition of wood smoke and smoking habits. We recorded the food that the patients ate in the last 24 hours before they were in the survey. As control group we recorded the same parameters from fifty women living at the same community.
Results: The prevalence of diabetes was 3.94% and 6.3% for hypertension. In the control group there was a high frequency of obesity and central adiposity, without any difference with the patients. The food profile is a very traditional profile in which the starches predominate fundamentally from the tortilla and the beans. The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes is very low, though the prevalence of abdominal obesity and overweight in the above mentioned population is very high and it was associated with the number of tortillas consumed.
Conclusions: In a population of women of the rural means, with traditional feeding, in spite of the low prevalence of hypertension and diabetes there is a great frequency of obesity related to high tortillas consumption.
