Mexico child obesity rates high: 36.5% of 5-11, 40.4% of teens

New data from El Financiero reports that 36.5% of Mexican children aged 5-11 and 40.4% of adolescents live with overweight or obesity. The figures highlight a persistent public health challenge, though the source is a single news report and underlying methodology is not detailed. This matters for health policy and potential regulatory action on food marketing.
