  • Associations between adolescent alcohol use and neurocognitive functioning in young adulthood

    Patricia L East, Jorge Delva et al.ARTICLEApplied Developmental Science2024

    This study examined the associations between excessive alcohol intake during adolescence and neurocognitive functioning in young adulthood and whether these relations varied by sex. Participants were working-class Chilean adolescents ( N = 692; M age 16.0 years; 54.5% female) who provided frequency of past 30-day bingeing and past-year intoxication.

    Open AccessNatalia LaSpada, Erin Delker et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2020

    INTRODUCTION: This study examined changes in substance use from adolescence to young adulthood as related to adolescents' risk taking, sensation seeking, antisocial activities, and personality traits. METHODS: Chilean youth (N = 890, 52% female) were studied in adolescence (14.5 and 16.2 years) and young adulthood (M age 21.3 years).

  • Changes in socio-economic status and lipoproteins in Chilean adolescents

    Open AccessZachary J Madewell, Estela Blanco et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2019

    Objective The present longitudinal study assessed whether changes in socio-economic status (SES) from infancy to adolescence were associated with plasma lipoprotein concentrations in adolescence, of which low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and high LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), TAG and total cholesterol (TC) concentrations are associated with higher cardiovascular risk. Design SES, assessed using the modified Graffar Index, was calculated at 1, 5, 10 and 16 …

  • Cardiometabolic health in adolescence and its association with educational outcomes

    Paulina Correa-Burrows, Estela Blanco et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2019Citada por: 2Referencias: 33

    Aim To explore the association of selected cardiometabolic biomarkers and metabolic syndrome (MetS) with educational outcomes in adolescents from Chile. Methods Of 678 participants, 632 (52% males) met criteria for the study. At 16 years, waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure, triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein and glucose were measured. A continuous cardiometabolic risk score (zMetS) using indicators of obesity, lipids, glu…

  • Physically active Chilean school kids perform better in language and mathematics

    Open AccessPaulina Correa-Burrows, Raquel Burrows et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2017

    We examined the association between the engagement in regular physical activity (PA) and the academic performance (AP) of school-age children from Santiago Metropolitan Region. In a random sample of 1271 students (13.3 ± 2.3 years old) we measured regular PA, accounting for hours of weekly scheduled exercise, and AP, using national standardized tests scores in Language and Mathematics. Bivariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to m…

  • High cardiometabolic risk in healthy Chilean adolescents

    Open AccessRaquel Burrows, Paulina Correa-Burrows et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2016

Design Cross-sectional study. BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, fat and lean mass (by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), TAG, HDL-cholesterol, glucose, insulin, homeostatic model assessment–in…
