ABSTRACT
The pandemy of obesity is affecting more than 300 millions
of adults in the world. The trend is increasing. Diabetes,
coronary hearth disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular
disease and dyslipidemia are chronic diseases associated
with obesity. The methodology of this paper is proposed as
an alternative resource based in mortality data to quantify
the magnitude of chronic diseases in developing countries.
Deaths for Mexico registered in 2000, according to selected
causes, were taken to derive indirectly the prevalence of
obesity in years 2000, 2005, and 2010, both males and
females ≥ 35 years-old. In 2010, an estimation of 8 million
of Mexican with obesity is made. This methodology is
referred to be probed in the quantification and projection
of chronic diseases. According with our estimation, we
hope in Mexico at 2010 to have between 8 and 14 millions
of people ≥ 35 years-old with obesity.
