Jiwani SS, Carrillo-Larco RM, Hernández-Vásquez A, et al. - Through a cross-sectional series analysis of obesity predominance by socioeconomic status done by using of national health surveys carried out between 1998 and 2017 in 13 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, experts identified the predominance of obesity among adult men and women in Latin America and the Caribbean through socioeconomic measures and the shifting obesity burden over time.
