Prevalence of overweight and obesity and determinants associated with BMI Z-scores in Indigenous Yaqui schoolchildren from Sonora: a representative survey
The prevalence of overweight and obesity among Yaqui schoolchildren was higher than that reported in similar populations. The determinants identified in this study should be considered when designing effective intervention strategies to reduce the prevalence and its consequences at early ages in this indigenous group.
