Abstract
- IRET Following a 2019 workshop led by the Center for Global Health Studies at the Fogarty International Center on the topic of childhood obesity prevention and research synergies transpiring from cross-border collaborations, we convened a group of experts in the United States and Latin America to conduct a narrative review of the epidemiological literature on the role of obesogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the etiology of childhood obesity among Latino youth in the United States and Latin America. In addition to summarizing and synthesizing results from research on this topic published within the last decade, we place the findings within a lifecourse biobehavioral framework to aid in identification of unique exposure-outcome relationships driven by both biological and behavioral research, identify inconsistencies and deficiencies in current literature, and discuss the role of policy regulations, all with the goal of identifying viable avenues for prevention of early life obesity in Latino/Hispanic populations. Luego de un taller de 2019 dirigido por el Centro de Estudios de Salud Global en el Centro Internacional Fogarty sobre el tema de la prevención de la obesidad infantil y las sinergias de investigación que surgen de las colaboraciones transfronterizas, reunimos a un grupo de expertos en los Estados Unidos y América Latina para llevar a cabo un revisión narrativa de la literatura epidemiológica sobre el papel de los disruptores endocrinos (EDC) obesogénicos en la etiología de la obesidad infantil entre los jóvenes latinos en los Estados Unidos y América Latina. Además de resumir y sintetizar los resultados de la investigación sobre este tema publicada en la última década, colocamos los hallazgos dentro de un marco bioconductual del ciclo de vida para ayudar en la identificación de relaciones únicas de exposición-resultado impulsadas por investigaciones tanto biológicas como conductuales, identificar inconsistencias y deficiencias en literatura actual y discutir el papel de las regulaciones políticas, todo con el objetivo de identificar vías viables para la prevención de la obesidad en la vida temprana en las poblaciones latinas / hispanas.
