  • Remote learning and physical activity in medical students from Latin America

    Open AccessMario J Valladares-Garrido, Renzo Pedro Eduardo Acosta-Porzoliz et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2026Referencias: 2

    Remote learning during the pandemic was associated with lower physical activity levels among Latin American medical students. These findings highlight the need for university-based interventions to promote physical activity, particularly in prolonged distance learning contexts

  • Depression and anxiety in health human resources during the first Covid-19 wave in northern Peru

    Open AccessMario J Valladares-Garrido, Carlos Culquichicón et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025

    There is an urgent need for action to address the mental health of these professionals, who have played a critical role in pandemic response and care

  • Sleep quality and associated factors in Latin American medical students

    Open AccessMario J Valladares-Garrido, Noelia Morocho-Alburqueque et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    It was found that 62.2% of students had poor sleep quality. Factors such as female sex, moderate risk of smoking, and depressive and anxious symptoms were associated with poor sleep quality, while COVID-19 training, history of the disease, and a high level of resilience were linked to better quality. These findings are key for public health, as poor sleep quality affects physical and mental health and academic performance, underscoring the import…

  • Formalized peer referral to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis supported with self-testing

    Open AccessMaureen McGowan, Njeri Wairimu et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Background: The uptake of daily oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)-a highly effective intervention-remains low among African adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) who could benefit. AGYW who initiate PrEP often do so through informal peer referral, which may be enhanced with formalized peer referral and peer-delivered HIV self-testing (HIVST). To understand the feasibility of this PrEP referral model among AGYW, we conducted a pilot study…

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder, food insecurity, and social capital after the 2017 coastal El Niño flooding among mothers from Piura, Peru

    Open AccessCarlos Culquichicón, David Astudillo-Rueda et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    In order to understand the impacts in the post-disaster scenario of the 2017 El Niño events in the Piura region-Peru, we examined post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), food insecurity (FI), and social capital (SC) across three-time points in mothers in highly affected areas. In the Piura, Castilla, and Catacaos districts, we studied mothers combining mixed-method assessments at three (June-July 2017), eight and 12 months after the flooding. Each…

  • Contributing factors for self-reported HIV in male Peruvian inmates

    Open AccessCarlos Culquichicón, Luis E Zapata-Castro et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction: Worldwide, prisons are high-risk settings for the transmission of infectious diseases such as HIV. There is a need to understand the health conditions of prisoners to improve and implement timely strategies for HIV diagnosis and control. Hence, we aimed to identify factors associated with self-reported HIV (srHIV) among Peruvian inmates. Methods: This study is a secondary data analysis of the First Peruvian Prison Census conducted i…

  • Estimating mortality and disability in Peru before the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessMaría Jesús Ríos-Blancas, Victoria Pando-Robles et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background: Estimating and analyzing trends and patterns of health loss are essential to promote efficient resource allocation and improve Peru's healthcare system performance. Methods: Using estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD), Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (2019), we assessed mortality and disability in Peru from 1990 to 2019. We report demographic and epidemiologic trends in terms of population, life expectancy at birth (LE), …

  • Sars-CoV-2 antibody prevalence in a pediatric cohort of unvaccinated children in Mérida, Yucatán, México

    Open AccessGuadalupe Ayora-Talavera, Oscar D Kirstein et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 exposure in children during the global COVID-19 pandemic has been underestimated due to lack of testing and the relatively mild symptoms in adolescents. Understanding the exposure rates in the pediatric population is essential as children are the last to receive vaccines and can act as a source for SARS-CoV-2 mutants that may threaten vaccine escape. This cross-sectional study aims to quantify the prevalence of anti-S…

  • Impairment in Working Memory and Executive Function Associated with Mercury Exposure in Indigenous Populations in Upper Amazonian Peru

    Open AccessAlycia K Silman, Raveena Chhabria et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    The Matsigenka people living traditional lifestyles in remote areas of the Amazon rely on a fish-based diet that exposes them to methylmercury (MeHg) at levels that have been associated with decreased IQ scores. In this study, the association between Hg levels and working memory was explored using the framework of the Multicomponent Model. Working memory tasks were modified to fit the culture and language of the Matsigenka when needed and include…
