Objective:

In preschool children the prevalence of Ow+O was 6%. In school children, adolescents and adults the prevalence of obesity was 15.3, 14.2 and 33.6%, respectively. In preschools with severe food insecurity, the prevalence of Ow+O decreased 35% between 2012-2018. In schoolchildren without program food aid, the prevalence of obesity increase 97% between 2012-2018. In adolescents without program food aid, the prevalence of obesity increase 60% between 2012-2018. In adults with moderate food insecurity, abdominal obesity increased 10% between 2012-2018.
