Major Cause of Death Major Risk Factors of Death Cancer Analysis Tables (Appendix)

Causes of death across Mexico are changing because of Population Increase, Life Expectancy rise and Living Standard.On this below article we provide graphical representation of major causes of death in Mexico.

Highlights of Mexico BMI and Diet Compositions

Comprehensive data on food supply and consumption is published by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Data was analyzed by The Global Graph and is published in these below Highlights, Graphs and Tables (Data Quality & definitions)

• As per United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), average person in Mexico gets their caloric supply from :
• Carbohydrates : 81.72%81.72%
• Fat : 36.61%36.61%
• Plant protein : 8.17%8.17%
• Animal protein : 7.07%7.07%
• 33.57% increase in caloric supply : Currently Mexico gets 3072/kilocalories per person per day worth of caloric supply when compared to 2300/kilocalories per person per day in Year 1961
• Cereals & Grains, Sugar and Oils & Fats are three major diet compositions in Mexico
• Maize, Wheat and Rice are three major Cereal preferences in Mexico
• National and World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations on vegetable intake is to range between 200-250g per day and in Mexico average intake is 153.07 grams
• Oranges & Mandarines, Bananas and Lemons & Limes are three major Fruit Types Intake in Mexico
• National and World Health Organization (WHO) typically set a guideline of 200g Fruit Intake per day and in Mexico average Fruit intake is 294.36grams
• In Mexico, average male height is in the increasing trend and female height is in increasing trend
• 64.10% of population is suffering from obesity and this trend is continously increasing from last few years
• Average Male BMI in Mexico is in the range of obese and Average Female BMI is in range of obese (BMI = Body Mass Index - The WHO define a BMI <=18.5 as 'underweight'; 18.5 to 25 as 'normal/healthy'; 25.0 to 30.0 as 'obese')

Breakdown of the average per capita intake of cereals by specific cereal-based commodity types, measured in kilocalories per person per day. This figure measures the primary equivalent of all food products derived from a given commodity (e.g. "wheat" represents the primary equivalent of its derived products). Data refers to cereal food supply at the consumer level but does not account for consumer wastage in

Cancer Analysis

0.59% of Mexico population was suffering from cancer i.e. 564981 people (average of years 2011-2016). Highest number of cancer patients deaths were recorded due to Stomach cancer (Count : 7494) and Prostate cancer was also concerning with 7261 deaths in a year. In last few years it has been observed that, people suffering from Esophageal cancer have 5% of survival chance.Mexico was really successful in diagnosing Non-melanoma skin cancer where 98% of people were cured.Highest number of cancer patients i.e. 234075 people were of age group 50-69 year olds.In 2016, 22093 were suffering from Stomach cancer out of which 7494 people were dead. This means 33.92% death rate of people suffering from Stomach cancer. This below data represents major cancer types in Mexico and number of deaths due to particular cancer types :
