To keep record of the knowledge and use of information of the different food labels on industrialized products in Mexico.
We administered a semi-structured survey-developed by research¬ers free of conflict interestin a subsample of the National Health and Nutrition Survey, 2016. This survey was previously validated and piloted in different populations of varying socio¬economic levels and age and country regions.
Data was collected from a total of 8 667 individuals ≥20 years of age. The most frecuent type of label on industrialized foods and beverages was the nutrient table with 41.5% (95%CI 36.9- 46.3) and the least used was the nutrient seal, 4.3% (95%CI 3.1-5.7).
It is of critical importance that the regulating authorities and the Ministry of Health, implement criteria that guarantee the compliance of recommendations promulgated in official documents. As well as the standarization of the percentage of recommended sugar intake based on WHO standards or lower considering the epidemiological alert for diabetes that the country is experiencing.
记录墨西哥工业化产品上不同食品标签的知识及信息使用情况。
我们在2016年全国健康与营养调查的一个子样本中开展了一项由无利益冲突的研究人员编制的半结构化调查。该调查先前已在不同社会经济水平、年龄及国家地区的人群中进行了验证和预试验。
共收集了8667名年龄≥20岁个体的数据。工业化食品和饮料上最常见的标签类型是营养表，占41.5%（95%置信区间36.9 - 46.3），使用最少的是营养印章，占4.3%（95%置信区间3.1 - 5.7）。
监管当局和卫生部实施确保官方文件中颁布的建议得到遵守的标准至关重要。同时，鉴于该国正经历糖尿病的流行病学警报，应根据世界卫生组织标准或更低标准对推荐糖摄入量百分比进行标准化。
