 The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between macronutrient intake and overweight/obesity in kids in Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico. In Celaya, Guanajuato, 225 school-aged youngsters (6 to 13 years) were evaluated. Individual interviews with parents and children were undertaken to obtain information on food consumption frequency using a validated questionnaire (SNUT), from which the intake of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and fat subtypes were calculated. To determine the relationship between macronutrient intake and overweight/obesity in schoolchildren, the Chi squared statistic and its accompanying p-value were calculated. In this group of schoolchildren from Celaya, Guanajuato, there is no link between macronutrient intake (proteins, carbs, and fats) and overweight/obesity. Carbohydrates (X2 = 3.47, P=.18); proteins (X2 = 3.36, P=.19); and lipids (Z for two proportions) (P>.05.) were the macronutrients associated with obesity. Conclusion: ...

This paper centers on the relationship between soil reaction and plant nutrients as they affect crop production. Soil pH affects nearly all physico-chemical and biological activities in the soil. A farmer whose ultimate aim is to minimize input in order to maximize output is expected to have an in-depth knowledge of soil pH especially in tropical region where soil acidity is one of the predominant factors in crop production.
