ABSTRACT

The 2000 National Health Survey (ENSA 2000) was a probabilistic survey that included more than 45,000 subjects aged between 20 to 69 years old. It was directed to determine the prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity glucosa, and proteinuria. The survey was weighed with to the National Register of Population (INEGI). The prevalence for hypertension was 30.05%, for diabetes of 10.76%, for obesity 24.4%, abnormal capillary glucose 12.7% and for proteinuria of 9.2%. Using Conjunctive Consolidation Analysis the interrelationship among the non-communicable chronic diseases was demonstrated. The prevalence was directly related with age, and obesity was the most important modifier of the prevalence of non-communicable chronic disease. ENSA 2000 alerts on the urgent need of national strategies to restrain this important national public health problem.
