El siguiente artículo se elaboró en base a datos obtenidos durante los trabajos de Salvamento Arqueológico Autopista Tuxpan – Tampico 2015, dirigido por la Mtra. María Eugenia Maldonado Vite (Investigadora del Centro INAH Veracruz). El Sitio Zanja Zapupe II fue registrado y croquizado inicialmente en el Proyecto de Supervisión Arqueológica al Estudio Sísmico Tres Hermanos 3D Norte, y debido al trazo del derecho de vía de los trabajos de la Autopista Tuxpan – Tampico, se pone mayor atención, ya que se había propuesto en primera instancia realizar trabajos de excavaciones intensivas y extensivas para liberar el área y no modificar el trazo original que se planteaba pasar sobre un conjunto de pequeñas estructuras ubicadas al este del polígono del sitio. Paralelamente, se realiza un nuevo recorrido para evaluar y complementar el croquis del sitio, puesto que se habían detectado otros elementos arqueológicos que no fue posible registrar anteriormente. Es así como se logran observar algunos acomodamientos de piedra sobre ambos arroyos que rodean este conjunto de estructuras y que al observarlos con detenimiento se notan ciertos patrones en diferentes aspectos. Lo que aquí se presenta es una propuesta sobre como se pudo aprovechar la topografía y recursos naturales realizando ciertas modificaciones o adecuaciones que permitieron obtener un aprovechamiento del agua.

Aim: To investigate the joint associations of diabetes and obesity with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in the Mexico City Prospective Study., Materials and Methods: In total, 154 128 participants (67.2% women) were included in this prospective analysis. Diabetes was self-reported, while body mass index was used to calculate obesity. Using diabetes and obesity classifications, six groups were created: (a) normal (no diabetes and normal weight); (b) normal weight and diabetes; (c) overweight but not diabetes (overweight); (d) overweight and diabetes (prediabesity); (e) obesity but not diabetes (obesity); and (f) obesity and diabetes (diabesity). Associations between these categories and outcomes were investigated using Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for confounder factors., Results: During 18.3 years of follow-up, 27 197 (17.6%) participants died (28.5% because of CV causes). In the maximally adjusted model, participants those with the highest risk {hazard ratio (HR): 2.37 [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.24-2.51]}, followed by those with diabesity [HR: 2.04 (95% CI: 1.94-2.15)]. Similar trends of associations were observed for CVD mortality. The highest CV mortality risk was observed in individuals with diabesity [HR: 1.80 (95% CI: 1.63-1.99)], followed by normal weight and diabetic individuals [HR: 1.78 (95% CI: 1.60-1.98)]., Conclusion: This large prospective study identified that diabetes was the main driver of all-cause and CVD mortality in all the categories studied, with diabesity being the riskiest. Given the high prevalence of both conditions in Mexico, our results reinforce the importance of initiating prevention strategies from an early age., (© 2024 The Authors.

The Mexican Ministry of Health requested the National Institute of Public Health to constitute a group of independent, free of conflict-of-interest academic experts on front-of-pack labelling (FOP). This group was instructed to created a positioning paper to contribute to the development of a FOP system for industrialized products that offers useful information for purchase decision making. This position paper uses the best available scientific evidence, and recommendations from experts of international organizations. The FOP proposal focuses on the contents of energy, nutrients, ingredients and components that if consumed in excess on the diet, can be harmful to people's health, such as added sugars, sodium, total fat, saturated fat and energy. The academic expert group recommends the implementation of a FOP that provides an easy way to quickly assess the quality of a product. It is essential that this FOP provides direct, simple, visible and easily understandable information., Competing Interests: Declaration of conflict of interests.
