The growing prevalence of diabetes must be confronted in several ways. Establishing the generational transmission of cultural knowledge offers some guidelines to prevent and control the disease. Once we identify and compare the semantic structures of shared knowledge we lay the foundations of a culturally comprehensive care. The objective was to characterize the main elements about cultural domain of the causes of diabetes in a population of grandparents, parents and children belonging to popular strata in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
A cognitive anthropological study performed in 104 subjects selected randomly in Guadalajara. We applied the free listing technique in order to obtain the semantic model and the average of cultural knowledge on the causes of the disease through a consensus analysis.A cognitive anthropological study performed in 104 subjects selected randomly in Guadalajara. We applied the free listing technique in order to obtain the semantic model and the average of cultural knowledge on the causes of the disease through a consensus analysis.
The studied groups were divided by generation: grandparents, parents and children. The data evidences intergenerational transmission, in form of a basic semantic structure, and a significant consensus around a single model.
The semantic structure on the causes of the diabetes includes: a) the emotions, as traditional dimension; b) certain behaviours related with the lifestyle, as everyday dimension; c) some biomedical concepts, like an emergent dimension.
必须通过多种方式应对糖尿病患病率不断上升的问题。建立文化知识的代际传承为预防和控制该疾病提供了一些指导方针。一旦我们识别并比较共享知识的语义结构，我们就奠定了文化综合护理的基础。目的是描述墨西哥哈利斯科州瓜达拉哈拉市普通阶层的祖父母、父母和子女群体中关于糖尿病病因文化领域的主要元素。
在瓜达拉哈拉市随机选取104名受试者进行认知人类学研究。我们应用自由列举技术，通过共识分析来获得疾病病因的语义模型和文化知识平均值。在瓜达拉哈拉市随机选取104名受试者进行认知人类学研究。我们应用自由列举技术，通过共识分析来获得疾病病因的语义模型和文化知识平均值。
研究群体按代划分：祖父母、父母和子女。数据证明了以基本语义结构形式存在的代际传承，以及围绕单一模型的显著共识。
糖尿病病因的语义结构包括：a）作为传统维度的情感；b）作为日常维度的与生活方式相关的某些行为；c）一些生物医学概念，如新兴维度。
