In Mexico, the prevalence of selected chronic diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, was relatively low among teenagers in 2021, as compared to that of adults. That year, less than one percent of the adolescents interviewed had a medical diagnosis of diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. In contrast, the prevalence of these chronic diseases was higher among adults in the North American country. As of 2021, approximately 32.8 percent of individuals aged 20 or older reported having high cholesterol levels, while around one in every ten had been diagnosed with diabetes.
