Asociación entre los niveles de cortisol en pelo y la autopercepción psicológica frente al estrés en estudiantes de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Chile
El estrés es uno de los fenómenos más notorios en la actualidad y en tanto se torna crónico afecta la salud de las personas en múltiples niveles. El estrés académico afecta a los estudiantes universitarios durante su proceso de formación, repercutiendo en su calidad de vida. Existen pocos estudios en Chile que examinen la relación entre el estrés fisiológico crónico y las diferentes dimensiones del estrés psicológico. Objetivo: evaluar la relació…
Weaving traditions based on activity patterns in a pre-Columbian Diaguita community (AD 900 – 1536) of the semi-arid region of Chile
Physical Violence and Social Tension in the Atacama Desert
Physical violence and social conflict have been widely studied in the ancient societies of the Andes. However, studies about violence are scarce for the Formative period of northern Chile (1000 BC-AD 900). Evidence from these investigations is generally interpreted as interpersonal violence, whose protagonists are mostly men. Here, we present the case of an adult female recovered from the Tarapacá 40 cemetery (Tarapacá region, Chile) displaying l…
Effects of sociodemographic and health factors on the self-management of non-communicable diseases among Chilean adults during the Covid-19 pandemic
Individuals with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are potentially at increased vulnerability during the Covid-19 pandemic and require additional help to reduce risk. Self-management is one effective strategy and this study investigated the effect of sociodemographic and health factors on the self-management of some non-communicable diseases, namely hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia, among Chilean adults during the Covid-19 p…
Regional variation in weight‐for‐height z ‐scores and surface area/body mass ratio of Chilean children from birth to 3 years of age
OBJECTIVE: The objectives of the study were to see how much of the variation in weight-for-height z-scores (WHZ) and surface area/body mass ratio (SA/mass) were associated with regional (county) differences including mean temperature. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Longitudinal data were obtained from routine medical check-ups on 8,373 children from nine counties across Chile. WHZ and SA/mass were calculated from weight and height from birth to 3-years ol…
Avoiding War in Tarapacá (Northern Chile) During the Andean Late Intermediate Period (AD 1000-1450)
The Late Intermediate period (LIP, AD 1000-1450) in the South Central Andes is commonly characterized by an increase in violence. Here, we analyse evidence to test whether the population that inhabited the oasis of Pica (Region of Tarapacá, Northern Chile) during LIP was engaged in violent warfare. The analysis of 96 individuals showed a low prevalence of violence-related injuries (N = 6/96). Facial traumas observed on females could be a result o…
Dietary practices in ancient populations from northern Chile during the transition to agriculture (Tarapacá region, 1000 BC–AD 900)
OBJECTIVE: The goal of this research is to understand the relevance of diet diversity during the transition to agriculture, in ancient populations from northern Chile, especially considering the significance of marine resources and crops in a lesser degree. METHODS: A total of 14 human individuals were sampled from the Tarapacá 40 cemetery. Both bone and tooth samples were collected. Samples were studied from bone/dentine collagen for carbon and …
