Maternal and Environmental Influence on Birth Weight in Jujuy, Argentina (1991–2014)
In Jujuy, between 1991 and 2014, BW showed a significant association with geographic altitude and maternal factors such as age, marital status, and gestational age, with regional variations. Understanding and addressing these interactions is essential to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality
Active transportation is associated with lower obesity risk: Generalized Structural Equations Model Applied to Physical Activity
This study aimed to identify latent (unobservable) dimensions representing specific physical activity-related behaviors and explore their potential effects on obesity burden and spatial distribution in Colombia. A cross-sectional study (n = 9,658) was conducted based on the Colombian National Survey of Nutritional Status. A generalized structural equations model was proposed, combining exposure and measurement models to define a disease model. Mo…
Sociodemographic disparities and contextual factors in obesity: Updated evidence from a National Survey of Risk Factors for Chronic Diseases
Objective: To assess the association of sociodemographic and environmental factors with the obesity occurrence in Argentina from a sex- and age-comparative perspective and a multilevel approach. Design: Cross-sectional study based on secondary data from the National Survey of Chronic Diseases Risk Factors (CDRF) 2018, Argentina. Two-level logistic regression models stratified by sex and age were used. Setting: The nationwide probabilistic sample …
Does Religion Affect Perception of Pregnancy Timing among Women Using Contraception
Background Nearly half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unintended. Unintended pregnancy refers to a mistimed or unwanted pregnancy. Unwanted and mistimed pregnancies are often distinguished from each other because of the negative social connotations and poorer health outcomes associated with unwanted pregnancies. However, mistimed pregnancies also pose significant economic, societal, and health burdens that necessitate enhanced risk factor ide…
Burden of cancer mortality and differences attributable to demographic aging and risk factors in Argentina, 1986-2011
The world faces an aging population that implies a large number of people affected with chronic diseases. Argentina has reached an advanced stage of demographic transition and presents a comparatively high rate of cancer mortality within Latin America. The objectives of this study were to examine cancer mortality trends in the province of Córdoba, Argentina, between 1986 and 2011, and to analyze the differences attributable to risk variations and…
Pesticide exposure and health conditions of terrestrial pesticide applicators in Córdoba Province, Argentina
Agricultural workers represent a population that is highly vulnerable to the toxic effects of pesticide exposure. This cross sectional study aimed to describe the health conditions of terrestrial pesticide applicators in Córdoba Province, Argentina, their work practices and socio-demographic characteristics, by means of a standardized self-administered questionnaire (n = 880). A descriptive analysis reported a high prevalence of occasional or fre…
SP6-50 Occupational pesticide exposure in Cordoba, Argentina. An assessment based on self-reported information of agricultural applicators
Occupational pesticide exposure is a global health concern in agricultural settings. During the last 20 years, Argentina has experienced a process of “agriculturalization” characterised by a strong and continuous increase in the land area dedicated to crop growing. Cordoba, located in the center of the country, is one of the most important cropping province; its cultivated area increased from 3.397.050 ha in 1994/95 to 6.810.500 ha in 2009/10. Mo…
P1-13 Meat intake and urinary tract tumours risk assessment through promoting latent variables models
Introduction Generalize Linear Latent and Mixed Models are scarcely used in cancer epidemiology, having been basically used multilevel and generalised linear and mixed models. Using flexible models allow including random effects, common factors coupled to a multilevel structure for unobserved heterogeneity. Cancer is the main cause of death worldwide. In Córdoba, (Argentina) bladder cancer is the fourth most incident cancer among men and ninth in…
P2-230 Overweight and obesity: Prevalence and their association with some social and life-style characteristics in a random sample population-based study in Southern Italy
Introduction Obesity has become a threat to public health, as the epidemic is not confined to developed countries but is affecting many developing ones. Objectives To estimate overweight and obesity prevalence and their association with some social characteristics in a population older than 18 years of age. Methods The survey was conducted from July 2005 to January 2007 in Putignano, Bari, Apulia. A systematic random sample of 2301 subjects from …
P2-229 Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Prevalence and transition probability in a random sample population-based study in Southern Italy
Introduction Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease worldwide. Objectives To estimate NAFLD prevalence and transition probability through different severity stages in a population older than 18 years of age. Methods The survey was conducted from July 2005 to January 2007 in Putignano, Bari. A systematic random sample of 2301 subjects from the list of records maintained by general practitioners was drawn. Subjec…
Prostate cancer mortality trends in Argentina 1986-2006: An Age-Period-Cohort and Joinpoint Analysis
The aim of this study was to give an overview of the magnitude, variation by age and time trends in the rates of prostate cancer mortality in Córdoba province and in Argentina as a whole from 1986 to 2006. Mortality data were provided by the Córdoba Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization cancer mortality database. Prostate cancer mortality time trends were analyzed using joinpoint analysis and age-period-cohort models. In Argentina …
