Abstract (English):	Objective. To describe the magnitude of overweight and obesity (OW+OB) in school-age children and adolescents (5-19y) in Mexico, as well as its association with the consumption of fruits and vegetables (F+V) and added sugars. Materials and methods. The prevalence of OW+OB was estimated in 15 109 schoolchildren and adolescents from the National Health and Nutrition Surveys (Ensanut, in Spanish) from 2020 to 2023, according to the World Health Organization growth standards. The consumption of energy from added sugar and F+V consumption, were estimated in a subsample (n=4 014). The association between energy consumption from added sugars (as a percentage) and F+V consumption with OW+OB was analysed using logistic regression models. Results. The prevalence of OW+OB was 36.5% in schoolchildren and 40.4% in adolescents. The median percentage of energy consumption from sugars was 12.6%, and the median F+V consumption was 200 g/d. The probability of OW+OB decreased as F+V consumption increased in children with a parent with normal body mass index. The probability of OW+OB increased with a higher percentage of energy from added sugars. Conclusions. In Mexican population aged 5 to 19 years, added sugar consumption is high, while F+V consumption is low, these conditions are related with the high prevalence of OW+OB. Interventions to stop that situation are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	Objetivo. Describir la magnitud del sobrepeso y obesidad (SP+OB) en población mexicana de 5-19 años y su asociación con el consumo de frutas y verduras (F+V) y azúcares añadidos. Material y métodos. Se estimó la prevalencia de SP+OB en una muestra de 15 109 escolares y adolescentes participantes en la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición (Ensanut) 2020-2023, de acuerdo con los patrones de crecimiento de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. En una submuestra (n= 4 014) se estimó el consumo de azúcar añadido, el porcentaje de energía y el consumo de F+V y se analizó la asociación con SP+OB mediante modelos de regresión logística. Resultados. La prevalencia de SP+OB fue de 36.5 y 40.4% en escolares y adolescentes, respectivamente. La mediana del porcentaje de energía de azúcares fue de 12.6% y del consumo de F+V fue de 200 g/d. La probabilidad de SP+OB disminuyó conforme se incrementó el consumo de F+V en niños con padre o madre con índice de masa corporal normal. La probabilidad de SP+OB incrementó con mayor porcentaje de energía de azúcares añadidos. Conclusiones. El bajo consumo de F+V y el alto consumo de azúcares añadidos incrementan la probabilidad de desarrollar SP+OB. Es necesario implementar medidas que lo contrarresten. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
