Salud y nutrición del niño indígena chileno (Mapuche)
El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar una revisión de la situación de salud y nutrición del niño indígena chileno, específicamente del Mapuche, en lo publicado en las bases de datos de referencias bibliográficas y en investigaciones específicas que tienen base poblacional. Para este trabajo se buscó lo publicado en PubMed, LILACS, organismos nacionales e internacionales, durante los últimos 15 años. Desde el 2006 hasta el 2015 la proporción de…
Association between education and blood lipid levels as income increases over a decade: A cohort study
Cardiovascular risk factors have increased along with economic development, but it is not clear if this tendency differs by education. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of education on blood lipid levels while income increases over a decade in Chilean adults. A cohort study was conducted from 3092 births in Limache Hospital between 1974 and 1978, of which 998 people were randomly selected in 2000 and 650 followed up in 2010. Using m…
Changes in socio-economic level and their impact on nutritional status: A follow-up study among young Chilean adults
Objective To verify the association between changes in socio-economic level (SEL) and nutritional status of Chilean adults over a 10-year period. Design Concurrent cohort study. Setting/Subjects Individuals born from 1974 to 1978 in the Valparaíso Region of Chile were evaluated between 2000 and 2002 ( n 1232) and again between 2010 and 2012 ( n 796). SEL was characterized according to the occupation and educational level of the head of household.…
High prevalence of somatic symptoms in a semi-rural Chilean population and its association with depression and anxiety
Our purpose was to study the prevalence of mental disorders with an emphasis on somatic symptoms and their association with social support in a Chilean semi-rural area. We studied a sample of 796 adults born between 1974 and 1978 in Limache, Chile. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 and the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Scale test were used to assess depression, anxi…
Change in postmenarche anthropometric indicators in indigenous and nonindigenous adolescents from Chile
Objective To analyze the change in anthropometric indicators between menarche and 36 months after menarche among indigenous and non‐indigenous adolescents from the Araucanía Region of Chile. Method This was a concurrent cohort study. Of 8,504 girls interviewed, 114 indigenous adolescents and 123 nonindigenous adolescents who had recently experienced menarche were selected. Body mass index (BMI), BMI by age (BMI z ‐score), waist circumference (WC)…
Indigenous and tribal peoples' health (The Lancet–Lowitja Institute Global Collaboration): A population study
Postmenarche growth: Cohort study among indigenous and non-indigenous Chilean adolescents
The height of indigenous girls at menarche was lower than that of non-indigenous girls and they subsequently grew less, maintaining the gap between the two groups. At the end of the follow-up period, the indigenous girls were shorter than their non-indigenous peers
Is waist circumference a better predictor of blood pressure, insulin resistance and blood lipids than body mass index in young Chilean adults
The strength of the associations of WC and BMI for any cardiovascular risk factors was similar, but highest for HOMA and triglycerides. WC and BMI are equally useful for monitoring the consequences of obesity in young adults
Socioeconomic status and age at menarche in indigenous and non-indigenous Chilean adolescents
The objective was to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic status and age at menarche among indigenous and non-indigenous girls in the Araucanía Region of Chile, controlling for nutritional status and mother's age at menarche. A total of 8,624 randomly selected girls from 168 schools were screened, resulting in the selection of 207 indigenous and 200 non-indigenous girls who had recently experienced menarche. Age at menarche was 149.6±10…
Secular trend in age at menarche in indigenous and nonindigenous women in Chile
OBJECTIVES: To estimate the secular trend in age at menarche, comparing indigenous and nonindigenous women, and its relationship with socio-demographic, family and nutritional factors. METHODS: A study (historical cohorts) of 688 indigenous and nonindigenous women, divided into four birth cohorts (1960-69, 1970-79, 1980-89, and 1990-96) in an area in central southern Chile was carried out. Data and measurements were collected by health profession…
Absence of disparities in anthropometric measures among Chilean indigenous and non-indigenous newborns
There is only a trivial degree of ethnic disparity in these values, in contrast to conditions for ethnic minorities in other countries. Moreover, these values remained roughly constant over the 5 years of observation in this study
Age of menarche and nutritional status of indigenous and non-indigenous adolescents in the Araucanía Region of Chile
Age of menarche is younger than has been previously reported and occurs earlier in girls with overweight and obesity, while being indigenous was not related
Size at birth and lipoprotein concentrations in adulthood: Two prospective studies in Latin American cities
BACKGROUND: The relationship between birth weight and plasma lipoproteins is inconsistent. AIMS: To assess the association between birth weight and (1) body mass index (BMI) at birth and (2) lipoproteins in young adults, and also to explore the possible effect of current obesity as a possible effect modifier. METHODS: Two prospective studies based on representative samples of subjects born in the 1970s were carried out in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil (…
Evolution of the nutritional situation of indigenous and non-indigenous Chilean schoolchildren
The marked decrease in stunting in children with a strong indigenous background seems related to a decrease in poverty over the period. Yet, the increase of obesity in all groups deserves further analysis
Nutritional status, especially body mass index, from birth to adulthood and lung function in young adulthood
BMI and waist circumference in adulthood make a greater impact on lung function in adulthood than anthropometric measurements at birth and infancy. Proxy measures of fatness in adulthood reduce lung function, but the pattern between fatness and lung function by sex may be different
Indoor Risk Factors for Cough and Their Relation to Wheeze and Sensitization in Chilean Young Adults
Objectives. We assessed the effects of indoor risk factors, including smoking, on different types of cough and on cough and wheeze in combination. Methods. Our sample was composed of 1232 men and women residing in a semirural area of Chile. We used a standardized questionnaire, sensitization to 8 allergens, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness to methacholine to assess cough and wheeze characteristics. Information was gathered on dampness, mold, ven…
Socioeconomic Risk Factors for Asthma in Chilean Young Adults
Objectives. We studied the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and asthma symptoms, severity of asthma, atopy, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) to methacholine. Methods. We studied 1232 men and women born between 1974 and 1978 in a semirural area of Chile. We assessed asthma symptoms with a standardized questionnaire, atopy with a skin-prick test to 8 allergens, and BHR to methacholine with the tidal breathing method. SES was de…
Obesidad en el niño en América Latina: Situación, Criterios De Diagnóstico Y Desafíos
En la actualidad, la obesidad constituye un problema de Salud Pública y ha aumentado en adultos y niños. De 12 países latinoamericanos que tenían información completa de sobrepeso y obesidad algo más de un tercio supera el 20% en ambas situaciones. Para obesidad 17 países contaban con información; el promedio de ésta fue 4,6%, en el que 4 de ellos presentaron valores sobre 6% y 3 inferiores al 2%. En la mayoría se observó incremento en los último…
Growth in Indigenous and Nonindigenous Chilean Schoolchildren From 3 Poverty Strata
Objectives. This study sought to determine whether the short stature of Mapuche children, an indigenous group in Chile, reflects poverty or genetic heritage and whether the international reference population, derived from studies of US children of mostly European origin, is appropriate for assessing growth failure in indigenous peoples of the Americas. Methods. The study assessed 768 schoolchildren of Mapuche and non-Mapuche ancestry, aged 6 to 9…
