0287/2023 - Políticas públicas e intervenciones para prevenir el exceso de peso en México: análisis desde una perspectiva interseccional Public policies and interventions to prevent excess weight in Mexico: analysisan intersectional perspective
Objetivo: analizar las políticas públicas e intervenciones (PPI) a nivel nacional vigentes a 2022 para la prevención del exceso de peso (sobrepeso y obesidad) en población adulta de México, desde una perspectiva interseccional. Métodos: se realizó un análisis documental de las estrategias para prevenir el exceso de peso en México en la adultez. Los documentos fueron analizados aplicando una metodología para el análisis de políticas basado en la interseccionalidad. Resultados: un total de 9 PPI fueron analizadas. En el diseño de las mismas operan alcances variables para visibilizar una perspectiva interseccional. En la definición del problema identificamos dos tendencias principales: una tendencia reduccionista y una tendencia holística. Ambas se combinan de manera variable en las PPI, evidenciando contradicciones internas en su diseño. La mayoría de las PPI señalan pocos ejes de desigualdad social, y como aditivos más que interseccionales. Las PPI consideran las desigualdades sociales mayormente en la definición del problema y, en mucho menor medida, en las soluciones y en los procesos de consulta y negociación. Conclusiones: La consideración de la naturaleza interseccional de la problemática del exceso de peso en las PPI es importante para abordar la epidémica desigualdad del exceso de peso.
Objective: to analyze public policies and interventions (PPI) in 2022 at the national level for the prevention of excess weight (overweight and obesity) in the adult population of Mexico,an intersectional perspective. Methods: we performed a documental analysis of PPI to prevent excess weight in Mexico in adulthood by applying a methodology for policy analysis based on intersectionality (Intersectionality-Based Policy Analysis Framework). Results: a total of nine PPI were analyzed. The extent to which the PPI design considers an intersectional perspective is heterogeneous in the analyzed documents. In the definition of the problem, we identify two main tendencies: a reductionist and an holistic tendency. Both are combined in a variable way in the PPI, evidencing internal contradictions in their design. Most PPI consider relatively few axes of social inequality, and as an additive rather than intersectional. Overall, the PPI consider social inequalities mainly in the definition of the problem, and to a much lesser extent, in the proposed solutions and in the consultation and negotiation processes. Conclusions: The consideration of the intersectional nature of the problem of excess weight in PPI is important to address the unequal epidemic of excess weight.
