“…México es un país pluriétnico y multicultural, y sus pueblos originarios y comunidades campesinas expresan comportamientos de alimentación influenciados por prácticas bioculturales que están fuertemente relacionadas con un territorio (Lugo-Morin, 2022;Moreno-Calles et al, 2016). En algunas regiones del país, como en el centro, sur y sureste, las personas basan su dieta en granos y semillas, legumbres, verduras, frutas, hortalizas, tubérculos, hongos, insectos y en menor proporción carne y otros derivados de animales (Castillo et al, 2020).…”

“…La dieta es uno de los factores que tiene efectos directos sobre la diversidad de microorganismos que habitan el tracto gastrointestinal. Aunque la composición del microbioma intestinal en vertebrados está influenciada por múltiples variables (Mallot y Martínez-Mota et al, 2021, 2022Weinstein et al, 2021), el consumo de una dieta que presenta una alta heterogeneidad de grupos de alimentos tiene un efecto inmediato en la composición, estructura y enriquecimiento de la diversidad microbiana intestinal (Heiman y Greenway, 2016). Esta tendencia se ha registrado en animales silvestres y en humanos (Amato et al, 2015;Barelli et al, 2020;Senghor et al, 2018).…”

Uno de los retos actuales más importantes en términos de la salud alimentaria, es el aumento en la ingesta de alimentos industrializados y ultra procesados vinculados a la dieta occidentalizada que se ha expandido a lo largo de casi todas las regiones del planeta. La incorporación de alimentos con altos contenidos de carbohidratos, grasas y componentes artificiales en la dieta de las personas de países biodiversos como México ha tenido importantes repercusiones en la salud de sus habitantes, ya que ha habido un aumento gradual de la obesidad y otras enfermedades asociadas. A pesar de ello, la dieta tradicional mexicana mantiene alimentos naturales y poco procesados, principalmente en regiones indígenas y campesinas del país. La dieta tradicional mexicana en la región central de México se basa en una extensa variedad de productos nativos y exóticos cultivados localmente y a pequeña escala en su mayoría, provenientes de huertos familiares y sistemas de policultivo para autoconsumo y para comercio de cercanía. Argumentamos que el consumo de una variedad de alimentos que conforman las dietas tradicionales, en particular aquellos producidos en sistemas agroecológicos tradicionales, pueden beneficiar significativamente la salud de las personas, a partir de cambios substanciales en la composición del microbioma intestinal.

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the most devastating worldwide crises. The pandemic has heavily affected the most vulnerable groups, including Indigenous communities. Our study aimed to evaluate the attitudes and behaviors relating to care and prevention of COVID-19 in a predominantly Indigenous university population in Mexico. Methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in early February 2022 focused on university students in a predominantly Indigenous community in central Mexico. The survey addressed prevention, vaccination, anthropometric data, and food intake. Results We obtained a high response rate of 71.6%, with 981 students (41.2%) identifying as belonging to an Indigenous group. In the sample, 3.1% (95% CI 2.07, 4.33) of the Indigenous group reported COVID-19 deaths among family members older than 18 years; this rate was 3% (95% CI 2.17, 4.03) in the non-Indigenous group. Whereas most of the students [98% (95% CI 97.62, 98.72)] reported having received COVID-19 vaccines, 36.6% (95% CI 33.57, 39.70) and 39.9% (95% CI (37.32, 42.52) of the Indigenous and non-Indigenous respondents, respectively, reported that their parents were fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Finally, we found important differences in weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) between pre-pandemic baseline and two years after confinement in the general population as well as between Indigenous and non-Indigenous: general BMI increased from 22.9 ± 4.1 kg/m2 to 23.6 ± 4.1 kg/m2 (Wilcoxon test; P < 0.001). The BMI for the Indigenous went up from 22.4 ± 3.8 kg/m2 to 23.1 ± 3.8 kg/m2 (Wilcoxon test; P < 0.001), and BMI for non-Indigenous rose from 23.2 ± 4.2 kg/m2 to 24.0 4.2 kg/m2 (Wilcoxon test; P < 0.001). Conclusion Our study highlights significant vaccination disparities between our university population and their parents, although no substantial differences regarding attitudes and prevention of COVID-19 between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations were found. Findings suggest that efforts to expand prevention to students’ families and surrounding communities could lead to significant public health gains and should be further investigated. Furthermore, the university setting may improve access to prevention tools against COVID-19.
