Abstract
Situations such as poor diet, physical inactivity and sedentary behaviors have caused Mexico to develop a 72.5% prevalence of overweight and obesity, which places it among the five countries with the highest incidence worldwide, being one of the countries that has gained the most weight during the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximately 1 in 3 adults are overweight or obese, having the highest rate of overweight and obesity among its population, thus triggering other ailments. However, due to the pandemic, the numbers have been increasing. The report “Actions & interventions for weight loss” revealed the average weight that people have gained per country during the pandemic placing Mexico in first place with an average of 8.5kg per inhabitant (Santos, Rico, Carballo and Abelairas, 2022). This is a cross-sectional study of literature review from indexed journals, as well as a search in the PubMed database. As inclusion criteria, scientific articles in English and Spanish were taken into account, as well as those published during the COVID-19 pandemic period in a period of no more than a few years of publication.
