Association of socio-economic environment and women’s empowerment with daily fruit and vegetable intake in Latin American cities
City GDP per capita, living conditions and WE were directly associated with fruit and vegetable daily intake, particularly among individuals with lower education levels in Latin America
Are extensions in paid parental leave associated with lower infant and neonatal mortality in Latin American cities? Evidence from 148 cities in Chile, Mexico, and Colombia (2000-2015)
We examined changes in infant and neonatal mortality that occurred after extension in the minimum number of days of paid maternity leave and after the implementation of paid paternity leave in 148 cities using longitudinal city-level data (2000-2015) from Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, compiled and harmonized by the Salud Urbana en America Latina (SALURBAL) study. For Chile we also explored variations in these associations according to the mother's…
Junk food use and neurodevelopmental and growth outcomes in infants in low-resource settings
Introduction: Feeding infants a sub-optimal diet deprives them of critical nutrients for their physical and cognitive development. The objective of this study is to describe the intake of foods of low nutritional value (junk foods) and identify the association with growth and developmental outcomes in infants up to 18 months in low-resource settings. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of data from an iron-rich complementary foods (meat versus …
Low quality of maternal and child nutritional care at the primary care in Mexico
These findings underscore the need for initiatives to improve the quality of nutritional care in PC facilities across Chihuahua, State of Mexico, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Yucatan. It is necessary for government and health authorities, along with various stakeholders, to collaboratively devise, implement, and assess intercultural and gender-oriented policies and programs geared towards ensuring the health infrastructure and enhancing the tra…
Educational inequalities in obesity
Objective: Using newly harmonised individual-level data on health and socio-economic environments in Latin American cities (from the Salud Urbana en América Latina (SALURBAL) study), we assessed the association between obesity and education levels and explored potential effect modification of this association by city-level socio-economic development. Design: This cross-sectional study used survey data collected between 2002 and 2017. Absolute and…
Are Women’s Empowerment and Income Inequality Associated with Excess Weight in Latin American Cities
While income gradients and gender inequalities in excess weight have been noted elsewhere, data from Latin American cities is lacking. We analyzed gender-specific associations between city-level women's empowerment and income inequality with individual-level overweight/obesity, assessing how these associations vary by individual education or living conditions within cities in Latin America. Data came from national surveys and censuses, and was co…
Aflatoxin Exposure Among Mothers and Their Infants from the Western Highlands of Guatemala
Parity, lactation, and long‐term weight change in Mexican women
One post-partum behaviour that may be protective against post-partum weight retention and long-term weight gain among women of reproductive age is lactation because of its potential role in resetting maternal metabolism after pregnancy. However, most of the evidence focuses on weight retention at 6, 12, or 24 months post-partum, and data beyond 2 years after birth are sparse, and findings are inconclusive. Therefore, our aim was to assess the ass…
Malnutrition in all its forms by wealth, education and ethnicity in Latin America
Objective: To summarise the findings from this supplemental issue on the distribution of malnutrition (stunting/short stature, anaemia and overweight) by wealth, education and ethnicity within and between ten Latin American countries. Design: We retrieved information from each country’s article and estimated the average difference in the prevalence of malnutrition between groups. We estimated the associations between countries’ malnutrition preva…
Socio-economic and ethnic disparities of malnutrition in all its forms in Guatemala
Objective: To analyse disparities of malnutrition in all its forms by socio-economic indicators in children aged Design: We defined wasting/underweight, stunting/short stature, overweight and obesity following the WHO criteria for children aged Setting: Guatemalan 2014–2015 National Maternal and Child Health Survey. Participants: Children aged n 11 962), adolescent girls aged 15–19 years ( n 1086) and WRA aged 20–49 years ( n 11 354). Results: St…
Lactation and maternal risk of diabetes
One postpartum behaviour that may be protective against diabetes is lactation due to its potential role in resetting maternal metabolism after pregnancy. However, the role of lactation in maternal risk of diabetes has not been investigated in Latin American populations, where rates of breastfeeding are suboptimal and diabetes incidence is increasing. Therefore, our aim was to estimate the association between mean duration of lactation per child a…
Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome and Associated Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Guatemalan School Children
Relationship between the nutritional status of breastfeeding Mayan mothers and their infants in Guatemala
A case-control study was conducted to determine the association between maternal height and infant length-for-age, and to evaluate how this association is modified by either maternal or infant nutritional status. We hypothesised that maternal excess caloric intake [measured as body mass index (BMI)] would increase the association, while infant nutrition (measured in main meals consumed in addition to breastfeeding) will diminish the effect. Mothe…
Body fat by dual photon absorptiometry
Measurement of body fat by dual photon absorptiometry (Fat DPA ) is based on the physical principles of differential attenuation of discrete photons by fat and other soft tissue components. The three traditional methods of measuring fat are indirect, in that they depend on measuring the fat free mass (FFM) based on the assumed constancy of water, potassium, and density in the FFM. Comparison of Fat DPA with fat measured by each of the indirect me…
