La situación del derecho a la vivienda para personas LGBT+ en Chile
Hace dos décadas era infrecuente la producción gubernamental de datos estadísticos acerca de personas LGBT+. Esto implicaba problemas en el diseño de políticas sociales urbanas. Las organizaciones sociales suplían esta carencia, generando información de la situación de los derechos humanos LGBT+, sin ahondar en el derecho a una vivienda adecuada. En este artículo se busca realizar un aporte a la producción, gestión y análisis de información del d…
The association between maternal and foetal factors with birth weight discordance in twins from Yucatan, Mexico
Birth weight discordance (BWD) is not an uncommon event in twin pregnancies and can be associated with maternal and newborn characteristics. We aimed to analyse the association between maternal sociodemographic and newborn characteristics with BWD in twin infants born in Yucatan, Mexico, during 2008-2017 ( n = 2091 pairs). BWD was calculated as the percentage of birth weight of the heavier twin. We defined three categories of BWD: concordant twin…
The influence of maternal height on offspring's birth weight in Merida, Mexico
OBJECTIVES: To analyze the influence of maternal height (MH) on offspring's birth weight (BW) in infants born from January 2016 to May 2017, in Merida, Mexico. METHODS: A total of 3462 singletons born at term in a public hospital were analyzed. Data extracted from hospital records were MH; number of previous births; and infant's sex, BW, and gestational length. MH was divided into 4 categories at quartile points: Q1:129-147, Q2:148-151, Q3:152-15…
Birth Seasonality in Yucatan, Mexico
Perfil clinicoepidemiológico de la infección por Chikungunya en casos hospitalarios atendidos en 2015 en Mérida, México
Chikungunya patients had primarily self-limited benign cases, while neurological manifestations such as lethargy, persistent vomiting, hemorrhage, photophobia, and intense headache were predictive of severity and their timely identification in children under 1 year of age was possible through close monitoring
Ethnicity and Income Impact on Bmi and Stature of School Children Living in Urban Southern Mexico
Obesity affects quality of life and increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Mexico, a middle-income country, has a high prevalence of overweight and obesity among urban children. Merida is the most populated and growing city in southern Mexico with a mixed Mayan and non-Maya population. Local urbanization and access to industrialized foods have impacted the eating habits and physical activity of children, increasing the risk of overweight …
Maternal maya ancestry and birth weight in Yucatan, Mexico
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between maternal Maya ancestry and the birth weight of infants born in Yucatan, Mexico, during 2013. METHODS: A total of 30,435 singletons born at term (≥37 weeks) in Yucatan during 2013 were analyzed. Birth weights, gestational ages, and maternal socioeconomic data were provided by the Ministry of Health of Yucatan. Maternal Maya ancestry was defined by the presence of Maya sur…
Height Growth and Percentage of Body Fat in Relation to Early Menarche in Girls from Merida, Yucatan, Mexico
Early menarche (EM) (i.e., age at menarche [AAM] <12 years of age) is related to short height and higher body fatness. In a mixed-longitudinal study done in Merida, Yucatan, height, body mass index (BMI), and percentage of body fat (BF%) were recorded at a one-year interval among 258 postmenarcheal (EM = 94) girls. Anthropometric measurements were recorded of the age cohorts in 2008-09 when participants were 13-17 years of age (baseline), and in …
