“…Vignerová et al (2007), working with population-representative data on Czech children and adolescents from 1951 to 2001, find that the median BMI of females in their late teens significantly decreased, whereas that of their male coevals remained almost constant. Although this pair of trends is similar to trends in Japan, the significance of this similarity is unclear, since the two countries' paths have been radically different, Czechoslovakia having been under Communist rule from 1948to 1989 As for children, a number of studies have examined both the longterm height trend (Vignerová et al, 2006;Bielecki et al, 2012;Nú ñ ez and Pé rez, 2015) and the height and weight trends (Zellner et al, 2007;Johnson et (1947)(1948)(1949)(1950)(1951)(1952)(1953)(1954)(1955) are indispensable for tracing the declining BMI trend back to its origin. Funatogawa et al (2009) also analyze BMI trends of Japanese adults, but they do not draw on NNS data prior to 1956 5 .…”

“…It has been speculated that women with a higher educational level might develop obesity-preventing health behaviour, as well as better healthcare access (58) that may partially explain the lower prevalence of excess weight. Additionally, a potential explanation for the link between SES and short stature is that height is closely related to a variation in net nutrition, meaning that poorer people probably have a more deficient diet, affecting early development and stature (59,60) .…”

Objective: To assess the relationship between malnutrition, socioeconomic status (SES) and ethnicity in Chilean adult population. Design: Nationally representative survey (ENS) conducted in 2016–2017. Sociodemographic information, weight, height and hemoglobin (Hb) were measured (2003 ENS). Excess weight was defined as BMI ≥25 kg/m2. Undernutrition included underweight (BMI <18·5 kg/m2), short stature (height <1·49 m in women and <1·62 m in men) or anaemia (Hb <12 g/l). Education and household income level were used as indicators of SES; ethnicity was self-reported. We applied linear combinations of estimators to compare the prevalence of excess weight and undernutrition by SES and ethnicity. Setting: Chile. Participants: In total, 5082 adults ≥20 years (64 % women) and 1739 women ≥20 years for anaemia analyses. Results: Overall, >75 % of women and men had excess weight. Low SES women either by income or education had higher excess weight ((82·0 (77·1, 86·1) v. 65·0 (54·8, 74·1)) by income; (85·3 (80·6, 89·0) v. 68·2 (61·6, 74·1) %) by education) and short stature (20–49 years; 31(17·9, 48·2) v. 5·2 (2·2,11·4) by education); obesity was also more frequent among indigenous women (20–49 years; 55·8 (44·4, 66·6) v. 37·2 (32·7, 42·0) %) than non-indigenous women. In men, excess weight did not significantly differ by SES or ethnicity, but short stature concentrated in low SES (20–49 years; 47·6 (24·6, 71·6) v. 4·5 (2·1, 9·5) by education) and indigenous men (21·5 (11·9, 5·5, 11·9) v. 8·2 (5·5, 11·9)) (P < 0·05 for all). Conclusions: In Chile, malnutrition is disproportionately concentrated among women of low SES and indigenous origin; these inequalities should be considered when implementing prevention policies.

El presente artículo analiza los programas y acciones que desarrollaron las empresas asociadas a la gran industria chilena para mejorar la condición nutricional de la población trabajadora, con el objetivo de enfrentar las enfermedades profesionales y mejorar los rendimientos productivos de los trabajadores. Es de especial interés conocer el papel que tuvo la familia y la mujer en su calidad de madre y esposa para transmitir los valores asociados a la correcta alimentación. Las fuentes disponibles para el estudio son los escritos de médicos que abordaron la temática de la alimentación, en especial en el ámbito laboral, las encuestas de nutrición desarrolladas entre fines de la década de 1920 y comienzos de los años de 1940, y las publicaciones de los Departamentos de Bienestar Social de las distintas empresas estudiadas.
