“…In particular, recent expansion of the market economy in the Sierra Madre Occidental has increased the availability of inexpensive processed foods and drinks, which the Tarahumara afford by supplementing their farming with temporary paid work and government aid. As a result, Tarahumara diets have been shifting to include more high-fat, high-sugar processed foods,28 and food preparation increasingly involves frying rather than using the more traditional methods of roasting or boiling 29. Consequently, while anthropometric data from decades ago indicate that obesity used to be extremely rare among the Tarahumara,30 31 recent surveys suggest it is now a growing health concern 27 32…”

“…20,21 Lo anterior es preocupante pues existe evidencia de que las mujeres tarahumaras de edad fértil (12-49 años) que hablan español (que muchas han aprendido en estas escuelas-albergue) tienen una mayor prevalencia de sobrepeso/obesidad si se compara con las que sólo hablan rarámuri (59.3 vs. 37.1%; p=0.003), 22 que tienden a preferir bebidas y alimentos mestizos antes que indí-genas, y que asocian la imagen corporal obesa (IMC ≥32 kg/m 2 ) con símbolos de belleza, salud y fertilidad. 21 Llama la atención que el número total de alimentos utilizados, y los empleados más de tres veces a la semana, fuese consistentemente mayor en el albergue tradicional, lo que sugiere una pobre estandarización de las dietas servidas entre albergues; además se observó un decremento progresivo de la semana inicial a la final en ambos albergues, lo que parece asociarse a la entrega de alimentos. Así pues, la periodicidad en la entrega de provisiones a los albergues, la administración de la despensa, y la selección de los alimentos empleados para preparar la dieta, parecen constituir factores logísticos que en buena medida determinan la variabilidad de la dieta servida, como han sugerido varios autores respecto de otros albergues escolares.…”

“…Malnutrition was observed at all ages, and obesity was observed among adults in all studies that analysed the nutritional status of various Brazilian indigenous groups (16,18,19,21,30) and several traditional groups in Canada (6,7) , the USA (8)(9)(10)(11)(12) and Mexico (13,14) . Some studies demonstrate that the rapid dietary transition in traditional and indigenous communities has contributed to a high risk of chronic disease (38) , as suggested by the Indian respondents.…”

“…These groups often live in absolute poverty and are increasingly exposed to disease (5) . Throughout the world, changes in diet and lifestyle have been observed in native groups, including the Dogrib Indians (6) , Aboriginal peoples (7) in Canada, the Lakota tribe (8) , the Alaskan natives (9) , the Hmong (10) and others who live in the USA (11,12) , the Tepehuanos (13) and Tarahumara (14) in Mexico and the Hindus in India (15) . These studies associate some chronic diseases with the above-mentioned changes, such as overweight, obesity, CVD and diabetes, and a sedentary lifestyle.…”
