Effects of Data Aggregation on Time Series Analysis of Seasonal Infections
Time series analysis in epidemiological studies is typically conducted on aggregated counts, although data tend to be collected at finer temporal resolutions. The decision to aggregate data is rarely discussed in epidemiological literature although it has been shown to impact model results. We present a critical thinking process for making decisions about data aggregation in time series analysis of seasonal infections. We systematically build a h…
Vitamin D status is associated with underweight and stunting in children aged 6–36 months residing in the Ecuadorian Andes
Objective There is limited knowledge on vitamin D status of children residing in the Andes and its association with undernutrition. We evaluated the vitamin D status of children residing in a low socio-economic status (SES) setting in the Ecuadorian Andes and assessed the association between vitamin D status, stunting and underweight. We hypothesized that children who were underweight would have lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels an…
Metabolic syndrome in the elderly living in marginal peri-urban communities in Quito, Ecuador
Objective The proportion of the Latin American population aged >60 years is expected to double during the next few decades. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, little is known about MetS in Latin America in general, and in Ecuador in particular. The present study aimed to examine the prevalence of MetS and its association with blood micronutrient, homocysteine (Hcy) and C-reactive protein …
Setting priorities for zinc-related health research to reduce children’s disease burden worldwide
Objective To make the best use of limited resources for supporting health-related research to reduce child mortality, it is necessary to apply a suitable method to rank competing research options. The Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) developed a new methodology for setting health research priorities. To broaden experience with this priority-setting technique, we applied the method to rank possible research priorities concern…
