In 2022, an estimated ** million cases of acute respiratory infections were reported in Mexico, making them the most common category of illnesses in the country. Urinary tract infections were the second most frequent ailments that year, with *** million cases. Risk factorsSeveral factors can cause respiratory infections; however, they can be exacerbated by activities such as smoking in patients with pre-existing health conditions. Though the smoker population in Mexico has generally declined in the last decade, figures still stand as high as **** million in 2020, and were projected to reach nearly **** million by 2025.Also a heart problemSmoking can also have detrimental effects on heart health. The second leading cause of death in Mexico in 2021 was heart conditions, with *** thousand deaths recorded. Demand for lifesaving transplants has also risen as a result. In 2021, ** patients were placed on the heart transplant waiting list in the North American country, and ** transplants were performed.

Heart conditions were the most common causes of death in Mexico in 2023. During that period, more than ******* people died in the North American country as a result from said conditions. Diabetes mellitus ranked second, with over ******* deaths registered that year. Obesity in MexicoObesity and being overweight can worsen many risk factors for developing heart conditions, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes, which in the case of a COVID-19 infection can lead to a severe course of the disease. In 2020, Mexico was reported as having one of the largest overweight and/or obese population in Latin America, with ** percent of people in the country having a body mass index higher than 25. In 2022, obesity was announced as being one of the most common illnesses experienced in Mexico, with over ******* cases estimated. In a decade from now, it is predicted that about *** million children in Mexico will suffer from obesity. If estimations are correct, this North American country will belong to the world’s top 10 countries with the most obese children in 2030. Physical activity in MexicoIt is not only a matter of food intake. A 2023 survey found, for instance, that only **** percent of Mexican population practiced sports and physical activities in their free time, a figure that has decreased in comparison to 2013. Less than ** percent of the physically active Mexicans practice sports for fun. However, the vast majority were motivated by health reasons.

Following the arrival of Spanish colonizers in 1519, namely Hernando Cortes and his 600 conquistadors, the indigenous population of the Mexican valley saw a dramatic decline. In the first two years of conquest, thousands of indigenous Americans perished while fighting the European invaders, including an estimated 100,000 who died of violence or starvation during Cortes' siege of the Aztec capital city, Tenochtitlan (present-day Mexico City), in 1520. However, the impact of European violence on population decline pales in comparison to the impact of Old World diseases, which saw the indigenous population of the region drop from roughly 22 million to less than two million within eight decades.. Virgin soil pandemics Almost immediately after the Spanish arrival, a wave of smallpox swept across the indigenous populations, with some estimates suggesting that five to eight million natives died in the subsequent pandemic between 1519 and 1520. This outbreak was not an isolated incident, with the entire indigenous population of the Americas dropping by roughly ninety percent in the next two centuries. The Mexican valley specifically, which was the most populous region of the pre-Columbian Americas, suffered greatly due to virgin soil pandemics (where new diseases are introduced to biologically defenseless populations). In the Middle Ages, the majority of Europeans contracted smallpox as children, which generally granted lifelong immunity. In contrast, indigenous Americans had never been exposed to these diseases, and their populations (of all ages) declined rapidly. Cocoliztli Roughly three decades after the smallpox pandemic, another pandemic swept across the valley, to a more devastating effect. This was an outbreak of cocoliztli, which almost wiped out the entire population, and was followed by a second pandemic three decades later. Until recently, historians were still unsure of the exact causes of cocoliztli, with most hypothesizing that it was a rodent-borne disease similar to plague or an extreme form of a haemorrhagic fever. In 2018, however, scientists in Jena, Germany, studied 29 sets of teeth from 16th century skeletons found in the Oaxaca region of Mexico (from a cemetery with known links to the 1545 pandemic); these tests concluded that cocoliztli was most likely an extreme and rare form of the salmonella bacterium, which caused paratyphoid fever. These pandemics coincided with some of the most extreme droughts ever recorded in North America, which exacerbates the spread and symptoms of this disease, and the symptoms described in historical texts give further credence to the claim that cocoliztli was caused by salmonella.

Background: Chronic diseases (CD) are a public health emergency in Mexico. Despite concern regarding the financial burden of CDs in the country, economic studies have focused only on diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. Furthermore, these estimated financial burdens were based on hypothetical epidemiology models or ideal healthcare scenarios. The present study estimates the annual expenditure per patient and the financial burden for the nine most prevalent CDs, excluding cancer, for each of the two largest public health providers in the country: the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS). Methods: Using the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2012 (ENSANUT) as the main source of data, health services consumption related to CDs was obtained from patient reports. Unit costs for each provided health service (e.g. consultation, drugs, hospitalization) were obtained from official reports. Prevalence data was obtained from the published literature. Annual expenditure due to health services consumption was calculated by multiplying the quantity of services consumed by the unit cost of each health service. Results: The most expensive CD in both health institutions was chronic kidney disease (CKD), with an annual unit cost for MoH per patient of US$ 8,966 while for IMSS the expenditure was US$ 9,091. Four CDs (CKD, arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and chronic ischemic heart disease) accounted for 88% of the total CDs financial burden (US$ 1.42 billion) in MoH and 85% (US$ 3.96 billion) in IMSS. The financial burden of the nine CDs analyzed represents 8% and 25% of the total annual MoH and IMSS health expenditure, respectively. Conclusions/Significance: The financial burden from the nine most prevalent CDs, excluding cancer, is already high in Mexico. This finding by itself argues for the need to improve health promotion and disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment to ensure CD primary and secondary prevention. If the status quo remains, the financial burden could be higher.

Noncommunicable diseases of Mexico shot up by 16.36% from 55.0 % in 2000 to 64.0 % in 2012. Since the 16.36% jump in 2012, noncommunicable diseases remained stable by 0.00% in 2012.

Cause of death, by communicable diseases and maternal, prenatal and nutrition conditions (% of total) in Mexico was reported at 9.0934 % in 2019, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to be the leading cause of death worldwide. Over the past couple of years and with the surge of the COVID-19 pandemic, mortality from CVDs has been slightly overshadowed by those due to COVID-19, although it was during the peak of the pandemic. In the present study, patients with CVDs (CVDs; n = 41,883) were analyzed to determine which comorbidities had the largest impact on overall patient mortality due to their association with both diseases (n = 3,637). Obesity, hypertension, and diabetes worsen health in patients diagnosed positive for COVID-19. Hence, they were included in the overview of all patients with CVD. Our findings showed that 1,697 deaths were attributable to diabetes (p < 0.001) and 987 deaths to obesity (p < 0.001). Lastly, 2,499 deaths were attributable to hypertension (p < 0.001). Using logistic regression modeling, we found that diabetes (OR: 1.744, p < 0.001) and hypertension (OR: 2.179, p < 0.001) significantly affected the mortality rate of patients. Hence, having a CVD diagnosis, with hypertension and/or diabetes, seems to increase the likelihood of complications, leading to death in patients diagnosed positive for COVID-19.

We studied four locations: (1) Mahahual, Mexico (latitude 18"42’N, longitude 87"42’W) and (2) Tuxpan, Mexico (latitude 21"01’N, longitude 97"11’W), (3) Bocas del Toro, Panama (latitude 9"12’N, longitude 82"09’W) and (4) St. John, United States Virgin Islands (USVI) (latitude 18"18’N, longitude 64"45’W). Each site is identified geographically with latitude and longitude in the original Excel Spreadsheet.

Each coral colony with a disease sign was identified in situ and the species and disease signs were recorded. Four disease signs were identified: (1) white sign was defined as a bright, white band or patch of recent mortality adjacent to healthy-appearing tissue (i.e., the tissue bordered a well-defined edge of exposed skeleton not yet colonized by algae or other biofouling organisms), (2) dark spot was defined as tissue with purple, brown or black lesions, forming spots of irregular shapes, (3) black band was defined as a black band over the coral tissue exposing white skeleton with different stages of biofouling, and (4) yellow sign was defined as a yellow discoloration of tissue forming a band or blotches. White signs and black bands were associated with recent tissue loss; yellow signs and dark spots were usually, but not always, associated with recent tissue loss. Notably, very few yellow bands were observed that followed the classical description. Instead, most coral colonies presented a patchy, non-uniform yellowing of the tissue; therefore the condition was termed ‘yellow sign.’ Additionally, any area of recently exposed white skeleton, which was not clearly caused by predation or a competitive interaction, was recorded as a white sign, including white plagues, white bands and white pox. The white-sign diseases were not differentiated because of similar- or identical-appearing signs, unknown etiologies for several diseases, and the possibility that the diseases were caused by the same pathogens. Coral colonies were occasionally recorded with two or more signs of disease, when those signs appeared to be spatially independent.
