Trends in mortality from cardiovascular diseases in Chile, 2000–2020
Objective. To analyze trends in mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in Chile during the period 2000–2020. Methods. Data on age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) from CVD per 100 000 population in Chile for 2000– 2020 were extracted from the World Health Organization Mortality Database. Joinpoint regression was used to analyze the trends and compute the average annual percent change (AAPC) in Chile. In addition, analyses were conducted…
Contribution of Two-Dose Vaccination Toward the Reduction of Covid-19 Cases, ICU Hospitalizations and Deaths in Chile Assessed Through Explanatory Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale, and …
Objectives To assess the impact of the initial two-dose-schedule mass vaccination campaign in Chile toward reducing adverse epidemiological outcomes due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods Publicly available epidemiological data ranging from 3 February 2021 to 30 September 2021 were used to construct GAMLSS models that explain the beneficial effect of up to two doses of vaccination on the following COVID-19-related outcomes: new cases per day, daily…
Eating styles profiles in Chilean women: A latent Profile analysis
Is a 'culture of plus-size women' the independent effect of neighborhood disadvantage on female BMI? A cross-sectional study in two Chilean Municipalities
Comportamientos de riesgo de suicidio y calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en estudiantes que ingresaron a una universidad mexicana
El objetivo fue determinar si existe asociación entre comportamientos de riesgo de suicidio (CRS) y menor calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS) y si esta asociación es independiente del consumo de sustancias, violencia y variables sociodemográficas. Estudio transversal, con 1229 estudiantes universitarios mexicanos; 62.4% mujeres y 37.6% hombres, edad 18.2 ± .6 años. Se aplicaron los instrumentos YRBS y KIDSCREEN-52. Presentaron desespe…
Mortality Rate and Predictors in Children Under 15 Years Old Who Acquired HIV from Mother to Child Transmission in Paraguay
Prevalence of refractive error and spectacle coverage in schoolchildren in two urban areas of Chile
We found an increased coverage of services for RE-associated visual impairment and an increased percentage of children wearing glasses as compared to values reported for La Florida in an article published in 2000. The National Board of School Aid and Scholarships (JUNAEB) in Chile is achieving better results in its schoolchildren eye care program
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
Alteraciones hematológicas en trabajadores expuestos ocupacionalmente a mezcla de benceno-tolueno-xileno (BTX) en una fábrica de pinturas
Objectives. Evaluate the three blood cell series and identify the presence of hypochromia, macrocytosis, leucopenia, lymphopenia, and thrombocytopenia in a group of workers exposed to the mixture of benzene-toluene-xylene (BTX). Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study which included 97 workers from a paint factory in Mexico. The participants underwent conventional blood count and tests for potential cumulative daily dose of BTX fumes, to e…
Diseño y validación de una escala para medir la percepción sobre el trabajo en el primer nivel de atención en estudiantes de medicina de Latinoamérica
Objectives. To design and validate a scale to assess Latin American medical students’ perception on first level of health care (FLHC). Materials and methods. An observational, analytic and multicentre study was carried out in two phases: i) A self-administered questionnaire regarding perceptions on FLHClabor was designed. ii) This questionnaire was applied to to medical students from 18 universities of eight Spanish-speaking Latin American countr…
Alteraciones hematológicas en trabajadores expuestos ocupacionalmente a mezcla de benceno- tolueno-xileno (BTX) en una fábrica de pinturas
All blood cytological components analyzed demonstrated mild changes, potentially associated with exposure to the mixture of BTX. Macrocytosis could constitute an early manifestation worthy for surveillance
Patterns, trends and sex differences in HIV/Aids reported mortality in Latin American countries: 1996-2007
Vital statistics registries provide valuable information on HIV mortality in LA. While the introduction of national policies for free ART provision has coincided with declines in population-level HIV mortality and increasing age of death in some countries, in others HIV mortality has increased. Barriers to effective ART implementation and uptake in the context of free ART public provision policies should be further investigated
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…
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
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
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…
