Desafíos y estrategias para responder al brote de sarampión durante la pandemia por Covid-19 en México, tras 25 años poseliminación
A very important factor in controlling the outbreak was to strengthen the training and coordination of rapid response teams belonging to local health districts, states, the national network of government-operated public health laboratories, and the national laboratory supporting epidemiological surveillance (LAVE). On 31 August 2020, after 90 days of active surveillance and reports of negative test results from the network of health units and lab…
PM2.5 exposure as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Mexico City metropolitan area
Our results add to the evidence linking PM 2.5 exposure to DM in Mexican adults. Studies in low- and middle-income countries, where PM 2.5 atmospheric concentrations exceed WHO standards, are required to strengthen the evidence
Predictors of patterns of weight change 1 year after delivery in a cohort of Mexican women
Objective: To evaluate the associations of pregestational BMI, gestational weight gain (GWG) and breast-feeding at 1 month postpartum with four patterns of weight change during the first year after delivery: postpartum weight retention (PPWR), postpartum weight gain (PPWG), postpartum weight retention + gain (PPWR + WG) and return to pregestational weight. Design: In this secondary analysis of a prospective study, we categorised postpartum weight…
Family Member Incarceration, Psychological Stress, and Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease in Mexican Women (2012–2016)
Objectives. To examine the association between family member incarceration, psychological stress, and subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods. Between 2012 and 2016, 1849 CVD-free women from the Mexican Teachers’ Cohort responded to questions on family incarceration from the Life Stressor Checklist. Perceived stress and hair cortisol levels were measured in a subset of participants. Carotid intima-media thickness was measured, and carot…
Early Menstrual Factors Are Associated with Adulthood Cardio-Metabolic Health in a Survey of Mexican Teachers
Prison environment and non-communicable chronic disease modifiable risk factors
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of evidence regarding chronic disease modifiable risk factors among prisoner populations in Latin America. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and to assess their relationship with length of incarceration. METHODS: We analysed data from a cross sectional study in which 4241 prisoners were randomly selected to answer a questionnaire with socio-demograp…
Stature is inversely associated with self-reported diabetes in middle-aged Mexican women
Objective. To investigate whether stature is associated with two highly prevalent cardiom- etabolic disorders—diabetes mellitus (DM) and high blood pressure (HBP) —in middle-aged Mexican women. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of a sample of 93 481 middle-aged Mexican female teachers, all participating in the Mexican Teachers Cohort (MTC, or ESMaestras ) study. We used a multivariable regression model to investigate the associatio…
Socioeconomic position and markers of adiposity among female teachers in Mexico
Background Occupation is often used as an indicator of socioeconomic position (SEP) in epidemiological studies, although it is unclear whether variation in SEP within a single occupational group is associated with health outcomes, including adiposity measures. Methods We created a multidimensional SEP index using principal component analysis based on self-reported data from 36 704 female teachers in Mexico from 2008 to 2011. Multivariable Poisson…
Changes in Sugar-Sweetened Soda Consumption, Weight, and Waist Circumference
Objectives. To evaluate 2-year changes in soda consumption, weight, and waist circumference. Methods. We followed 11 218 women from the Mexican Teachers’ Cohort from 2006 to 2008. Dietary data were collected using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Weight was self-reported, and waist circumference was self-measured. We used linear regression to evaluate changes in sugar-sweetened and sugar-free soda consumption in relation to change…
Diabetes in Mexico
The association between body shape silhouette and dietary pattern among Mexican women
Objective To investigate the relationship between dietary patterns and self-perceived body shape silhouette and BMI in a sample of Mexican women. Design A cross-sectional analysis of dietary habits from baseline data of a large cohort study (EsMaestra) conducted in 2006–2008. Setting The state of Veracruz, Mexico. Subjects Mexican teachers ( n 20 330) provided information on body shape silhouette at baseline, changes in body shape silhouette and …
