Resumen:
Arterial hypertension (AHT) and altered intake and loss of zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) have been reported in obesity (Ob) and overweight (OW). Herein we report preliminary data showing an association between consumption of dietary Zn and Se with OW, Ob, and AHT; and how it relates to gender and age in a population between 18 and 80 years-old from a population-base sample performed in San Luis City. Patients with chronic diseases, mental disabilities or those that do not sign the informed consent were excluded.

Average consumption of dietary Se (ug/day) was categorized either as sufficient (SU, ≥55) or insufficient (INS,
