Deaths attributable to unhealthful eating underscore the need to improve dietary patterns through upstream, policy-led solutions. The approval and successful implementation of food policies is partly determined by their public acceptance. Little is known about public support for food policies in Mexico. We aimed to investigate the level of public support for 30 food policies, grouped into 5 domains, and their associated characteristics among Mexican adults. Data are from the 2017-2021 International Food Policy Study (IFPS), a cross-sectional web-based survey of adults. Differences in public support across years were estimated using linear regression models. The association between demographic characteristics and policy support was analyzed using multivariate logistic regression models. The highest mean support was for the subsidies and benefits domain, followed by the labelling and reformulation domain. The level of support varied across years and policy domains. Support was higher in 2019 compared to 2017 and 2018, and subsequently lower in 2020 and 2021 compared to previous years. Older age was associated with greater support across all domains (OR ranged from 0.002 to 0.004, p < 0.01). Female participants and those selfidentifying as indigenous showed greater support for certain policy domains, whereas higher income adequacy was associated with lower support for other policy domains. In Mexico, support for food policies varies across subpopulations. Our findings may serve as a guide to the development and promotion of food policies in Mexico, as well as to improve their feasibility and success.
不健康饮食导致的死亡人数突显了通过上游政策主导的解决方案来改善饮食模式的必要性。食品政策的批准和成功实施在一定程度上取决于公众的接受程度。然而，对于墨西哥公众对食品政策的支持程度，我们知之甚少。我们旨在调查墨西哥成年人对 30 项食品政策的支持程度，这些政策分为 5 个领域，并研究与其相关的特征。数据来自 2017-2021 年国际食品政策研究（IFPS），这是一项针对成年人的横断面网络调查。我们使用线性回归模型估计了不同年份公众支持度的差异。使用多变量逻辑回归模型分析了人口统计学特征与政策支持之间的关系。结果显示，在补贴和福利领域的支持率最高，其次是标签和配方改革领域。支持率在不同年份和政策领域之间存在差异。与 2017 年和 2018 年相比，2019 年的支持率更高，而与前几年相比，2020 年和 2021 年的支持率更低。所有领域的支持率均随着年龄的增长而增加（OR 范围为 0.002 至 0.004，p<0.01）。女性参与者和自认为是土著的参与者对某些政策领域表现出更大的支持，而收入充足度较高与对其他政策领域的支持度较低有关。在墨西哥，不同人群对食品政策的支持程度存在差异。我们的研究结果可以为墨西哥制定和推广食品政策提供指导，以提高其可行性和成功率。
