Abstract

In 2020, while living through unprecedented health outcomes from the COVID-19 epidemic in Mexico, a human ecology perspective provides us with an unconventional way to analyze the role of the mediate effects of Mexican nutritional impacts and their prevalence in COVID-19-related mortality According to official data, by the end of September 2020, mortality by COVID-19 surpassed 76,000 confirmed deaths across Mexico;by August 2020, COVID-19 mortality was lower in the center of the country where hospital infrastructure and human resources such as specialized health personnel are concentrated This regional difference corresponds to the serious socioeconomic inequality characteristic of Mexican society, where southeastern states are poorer A human ecology perspective allows us to identify and discuss similarities and discrepancies between the prevalence of obesity distribution and COVID-19 lethality across Mexico, and ultimately to provide our thoughts on the preparedness of Mexican society, with epidemiological evidence and a preventive, transdisciplinary scope © 2020, Society for Human Ecology All rights reserved

常识性应急准备:从人类生态学角度看墨西哥应对COVID-19的经验教训

2020年，在墨西哥经历新冠肺炎疫情带来的前所未有的健康结果的同时，人类生态学的视角为我们提供了一种非常规的方法来分析墨西哥营养影响的中介作用及其在新冠肺炎相关死亡率中的流行。根据官方数据，截至2020年9月底，新冠肺炎死亡人数超过76000人；到2020年8月，新冠肺炎死亡率在该国中心地区较低，医院基础设施和专业卫生人员等人力资源集中。这种地区差异与墨西哥社会严重的社会经济不平等特征相对应，东南部各州较为贫穷人类生态学的视角使我们能够识别和讨论墨西哥各地肥胖分布的流行率与新冠肺炎致死率之间的相似性和差异性，并最终提供我们对墨西哥社会准备情况的思考，提供流行病学证据和预防性跨学科范围©2020，人类生态学会保留所有权利
