The accumulated 76% frequency of overweight and obesity obtained in our study is similar to the 73% obtained in adult women in the National Survey of Health and Nutrition 2012 (ENSANUT 2012, for its initials in Spanish), and that of 75.6% in adult women identified in the National Survey on Health and Nutrition Half Way 2026 (ENSANUT MC 2016) [29,30]. In the international literature, the frequency of the overweight and obesity combination ranges from 29.2% to 80.3% [26,31,32,33].

Regarding the MetS and AHT components, these were found in 44% of our patients, finding reports from 8.1% to 60.7% [27,28,31,34,35,36,37]. The results of AHT observed in our patients are relevant because, according to ENSANUT 2012 data, women present this entity in 30.8% of cases [29], whereas, in the ENSANUT MC 2016, the prevalence of AHT is 26.1%, of which only 70.5% had a previous medical diagnosis [30]. In addition, the total proportion of adults with a previous AHT diagnosis with controlled blood pressure values (
In our study, Type 2 DM was found in 12.8% of participants, similar to previous studies performed in Mexico (12.1%) [35] and Croatia (10.3%) [37]. Notwithstanding this, other authors have reported frequencies from 3.8% to 9.7% [27,28,31,34]. The Type 2 DM frequency reported in our patients is similar to that found in Mexican women (14.4%) according to data from ENSANUT 2012 [29]. It should be noted that the highest increase in Type 2 DM prevalence when comparing ENSANUT 2012 with ENSANUT 2016 was observed among women aged 60 years and over (a range considered in the SD of our study) [30]. 2ff7e9595c
