ABSTRACT
On the basis of the Sonoran study, as well as the literature in general, this chapter will make general conclusions as to the role of the social and cultural variables that have been under consideration here. These conclusions will be applied to an understanding of the causality of the types of nutritional problems observed in rural and urban Sonora, Mexico. Recommendations will be made as to how the variables could be manipulated to improve nutritional outcomes. Finally, these recommendations will be considered in the light of the direction Mexico has moved since the mid-1980’s.
