Heterogeneous trend in smoking prevalence by sex and age group following the implementation of a national smoke-free law
OBJECTIVE: Given the limited evidence available about the effects of clean indoor air laws on smoking behaviour in the general population, the impact of national smoke-free workplace, bar and restaurant legislation, implemented on 1 January 2006, on smoking prevalence in Spain was assessed in this study. METHODS: Population-based trend analysis using estimates for 27 periods from the beginning of 2000 to the end of 2008-three periods per year. To…
Length of residence and obesity among immigrants in Spain
Objective Various studies in the USA and Canada have consistently shown a positive association between length of residence of immigrants and obesity. Studies in European countries have obtained less consistent results. The present work assesses the influence of length of residence on the frequency of obesity in immigrants in the city of Madrid, Spain. Design We studied a sample of 7155 persons aged 18 years and over residing in the city of Madrid…
Impact of cumulative area-based adverse socioeconomic environment on body mass index and overweight
OBJECTIVE: Although the relationship between area socioeconomic environment and obesity is known, previous research has measured area socioeconomic environment at only one point in time. This study evaluates the relationship of cumulative area-based adverse socioeconomic environment with body mass index (BMI) and overweight. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Spain. PARTICIPANTS: 17 917 subjects in 2001. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Information fro…
The Role of the Public Health Official in Communicating Public Health Information
The prevailing views on the role of public health professionals refer to professionals in the academic world, without taking into account the fact that many public health professionals are government employees. For example, the American Public Health Association states that public health professionals play an active role in communicating public health information to nonscientific audiences, such as the general population or the mass media. We pro…
La epidemia de obesidad y sus factores relacionados

Las investigaciones sobre los factores responsables de la epidemia se centran sobre algunas de las condiciones sociales y económicas que imperan en las sociedades actuales. El presente artículo muestra la situación de la obesidad en España y la tendencia de una serie de factores potencialmente relacionados. El incremento en la pre…
The size of obesity differences associated with educational level in Spain, 1987 and 1995/97
Objective: To determine the size of obesity differences associated with educational level in the adult population in Spain. Design: Three cross sectional studies representative of the adult population in Spain were carried out in 1987, 1995, and 1997. Setting: The general population in Spain. Participants: 11 461 men and 10 219 women aged 25 to 64 years. Main results: For both men and women the obesity prevalence was highest in those with element…

Factors explaining the geographical differences in Disability Free Life Expectancy in Spain
OBJECTIVE: To study the geographical variations in Disability Free Life Expectancy (DFLE) at birth (DFLEb) and at 65 years (DFLE65) in Spain and to identify the main factors that explain these variations. DESIGN: Ecological study with the 50 provinces of Spain as the units of analysis. Sullivan's method is used to calculate DFLE for each province based on information from the death registry and the survey on disabilities, impairments and handicap…
Alcohol consumption and obesity in the adult population of Spain
diabetes has been observed both in Europe and elsewhere.4 Our study period of 11 years was too short to provide an accurate analysis of any time trend in incidence. In fact, there seemed to be a non-linear, epidemic type variation, with a possible outbreak in 1985 and around the year 1991. It has recently been pointed out that IDDM is a rather atypical chronic disease in that its "epidemics" are evident and relatively common.5
Low birth weight in Spain associated with sociodemographic factors
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To describe the effect of different social and demographic characteristics on low birth weight (LBW) (less than 2500 g) in Spain, in both preterm (less than 37 weeks' gestation) and term infants (between 37 and 42 weeks' gestation). DESIGN--The study used data obtained from the Spanish birth registry. SETTING--The study was based on those live born infants registered in 1988 from provinces where the birthweight details were compl…
