La escandalosa carencia de información sanitaria en residencias de mayores
Unequal impact of Covid-19 on excess deaths, life expectancy, and premature mortality in Spanish regions (2020-2021)
We aimed to estimate regional inequalities in excess deaths and premature mortality in Spain during 2020 and 2021, before high vaccination coverage against COVID-19. With data from the National Institute of Statistics, within each region, sex, and age group, we estimated the excess deaths, the change in life expectancy at birth ( e 0 ) and age 65 ( e 65 ) and years of life lost as the difference between the observed and expected deaths using a ti…
La desconocida mortalidad de la población en las residencias de personas mayores de España
Es necesario conocer la mortalidad de las personas mayores que viven en residencias para evaluar sus determinantes, incluyendo las características estructurales y organizativas de estos centros y su relación con la utilización de servicios sanitarios y sociales. Al querer investigar la mortalidad de la población mayor de 65 años que vive en residencias durante la COVID-19 nos encontramos con la imposibilidad de identificar a las personas fallecid…

Refugee Camps as Torturing Environments—An Analysis of the Conditions in the Moria Reception Center (Greece) Based on the Torturing Environment Scale
According to the conceptual model of torturing environments, the Moria reception camp constitutes a space of systematic ill treatment that vulnerated the European legal standards related to torture (Article 3 of the Human Rights Convention). The idea of torturing environments provides a valuable avenue to assess human rights violations in collective spaces and could constitute a useful tool in forensic and litigation processes

Validation of a Social Networks and Support Measurement Tool for Use in International Aging Research
Domains and determinants of a person-centered index of aging well in Canada
Relationships Between Neighborhood Social Capital and The Occurrence of Outdoor Falls in Canadian Older Adults
Living in neighborhoods with higher levels of social capital was associated with higher risk of falling in older adults, possibly through more involvement in social activities
Early adolescence behavior problems and timing of poverty during childhood
Sarcopenic obesity and physical performance in middle aged women
Sarcopenic obesity was present in 7 % of this population of middle-aged women from Northeast Brazil and it was associated with poor physical performance. Sarcopenic obesity may occur in middle-aged women with performance limitations beyond pure sarcopenia-related muscle mass or obesity alone
Differences in hypertension between informal and formal areas of Ouagadougou, a sub-Saharan African city
Hypertension is common among the adult population of Ouagadougou but its detection is low. While there are no differences between formal and informal areas of the city, rural-to-urban migration emerges as an independent risk factor. Known risk factors as obesity and physical inactivity are confirmed while the vulnerability of unmarried women and rural-to-urban migrants maybe specific to this west African population
Social consequences of conflict-related rape
On the role of social support on macroeconomic determinants on elderly people health
Rolden et al 1 examined the association between macroeconomic cycles and variations in mortality rates of middle-aged and older people. They proposed that reductions in social support during good economic times may play an important role in the counterintuitive relationship between macroeconomic cycles and older adults’ health. We welcome this research on the health of the elderly population, an age group seldom considered in the literature on th…
Heavy burden of non-communicable diseases at early age and gender disparities in an adult population of Burkina Faso
Our work suggests that social inequality extends into the distribution of non-communicable diseases among social groups and supports the thesis of a differential vulnerability in Burkinabè women. It raises the possibility of an abnormally high rate of premature morbidity that could manifest as a form of premature aging in the adult population. Increased prevention, screening and treatment are needed in Burkina Faso to address high prevalence and …
The gender gap in mobility
These are the first world-wide data to examine the gender gap in mobility. Differences in chronic diseases are the main reasons for this gender gap. The gender gap seems to be greater in regions with the largest loss of human development due to gender inequality
Validity and Reliability of the Short Physical Performance Battery in Two Diverse Older Adult Populations in Quebec and Brazil
This study provides evidence for the validity and reliability of SPPB in diverse populations
Associations of Social Relationships with Consultation for Symptoms of Depression
To assess associations between social relationships and consultation for symptoms of depression, data from a representative sample of 2,811 French-speaking community-dwelling older adults in Québec were used. Less than half of the older adults meeting DSM criteria for depression (N = 379; 47.1%) had sought consultation about their depression-relevant symptoms in the preceding 12 months. Having a cohabitant partner or having children were not asso…
Body Mass Index and Long-Term Mortality in an Elderly Mediterranean Population
Underweight is a risk factor for mortality among elderly people, whereas overweight and mild obesity are associated with the lowest mortality particularly among men and those with cardiovascular morbidity
Active ageing’
The aim of this study was to document the perceptions of elders in six Caribbean countries about ‘active ageing’ and on the basis of their reports to make recommendations to improve their situation. Data were collected principally through 31 focus group discussions conducted in both urban and rural areas. Comparative analysis was carried out of the qualitative information, focusing on three components of ‘active ageing’: health and social service…
Contributions of Immigration to Depressive Symptoms Among Pregnant Women in Canada
Gender differences in unsafe sexual behavior among young people in urban Mali
We developed gender-specific explanatory models for unsafe sexual behavior among unmarried young people living in urban West Africa using a culturally adapted instrument which addresses personal, relational and socio-cognitive factors. Data were collected on condom use and number of sexual partners, and on their potential determinants, using in-person interviews on a heterogeneous sample of in-school and out-of-school young women (n=185) and (n=2…
Long-term Effects of Folic Acid Fortification and B-vitamin Supplementation on Total Folate, Homocysteine, Methylmalonic Acid and Cobalamin in Older Adults
Poverty and Cumulative Hospitalization in Infancy and Early Childhood in the Quebec Birth Cohort
Gender Differences in Lower Extremity Function in Latin American Elders
Life-course exposures predict mobility, but further research is needed to identify intervening factors relating gender to mobility in old age
The contribution of a gender perspective to the understanding of migrants’ health
In 2005 women represented approximately half of all 190 million international migrants worldwide. This paper addresses the need to integrate a gender perspective into epidemiological studies on migration and health, outlines conceptual gaps and discusses some methodological problems. We mainly consider the international voluntary migrant. Women may emigrate as wives or as workers in a labour market in which they face double segregation, both as m…

Validación de escalas de seguridad alimentaria y de apoyo social en una población afro-colombiana
Nosotros realizamos un estudio transversal en 193 madres de niños de 6 a 18 meses de edad de una comunidad afro-colombiana con los objetivos: (1) adaptar y validar la escala de hambre del Community Childhood Hunger Identification Project, de apoyo social de DUKE-UNC-11, y de apoyo del compañero del Québec Longitudinal Study of Child Development (QLSCD), e (2) identificar la relación entre la inseguridad alimentaria y el soporte social con el esta…
