The Association Between Discrimination and Falling. A National Sample of Older Adults
Discrimination experiences were associated with higher odds of recurrent falling
Un análisis smithiano del crecimiento económico colombiano: Avances metodológicos
Economic theory posits that economic growth is enhanced by factor accumulation, public good provision, and respect for property rights. Without disregarding this consensus, this paper rescues the Smithian hypothesis that diversification of production and the expansion of the population purchasing power are also integrated and fundamental engines of economic growth. In fact, the available data do not allow rejecting the hypotheses that the combine…
Prevalence and Factors Associated to Hypertension Among Older Adults in Bogotá, Colombia
We found a high prevalence of hypertension in our cohort and found that comorbidities and poor self-rated health increase the odds of hypertension. Future studies need to tailor interventions for hypertension management in old age
Nutritional Assessment and Factors Associated to Malnutrition in Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study in Bogotá, Colombia
The MNA is useful to evaluate factors associated with malnutrition among older adults in Bogotá. Malnutrition is associated with perception of poor health, comorbidities, number of medications, and cognitive impairment
Fundadores y negociantes en la colonización del Quindío
Este artículo pretende rastrear los orígenes de los grupos sociales en el Quindío, recorriendo los pasos iniciales de su proceso de diferenciación. Cronológicamente, el objetivo de este texto, se circunscribe en las últimas seis décadas del siglo XIX. Colonización, desbroces y fundaciones tejen esa historia; la cual se intenta indagar sólo hasta los inicios de la expansión del café, lo cual aconteció en el tránsito del siglo XIX al siglo XX. Conv…
Economic growth consequences of structural stagnation: A two-sector model of productive diversification
The role of manufacturing input diversification is addressed in a two-sector model of endogenous growth. The general economic equilibrium is solved for the world. It is also solved for a small country with scant capital accumulation, low input diversification and high agricultural productivity. In this set up, developed economies lead the world structural transformation and achieve increasing growth rates by carrying out processes of productive d…
Socioeconomic Factors, Immigration Status, and Cancer Screening Among Mexican American Women Aged 75 and Older
To explore the association between socioeconomic factors and acculturation with cancer screening methods, we analyzed data from the Hispanic Established Population for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly, on 1,272 women aged 75 and older residing in the United States in 2004-2005. We found that lower Pap smear or mammography uses were associated with older age, lower education, and having public health insurance compared with private. Other fa…
Activity Restriction Related to Fear of Falling Among Older People in the Colombian Andes Mountains: Are Functional or Psychosocial Risk Factors More Important
The prevalence of overall fear of falling and related activity restriction was surprisingly high because this is a physically active population. Participants with activity restriction related to fear of falling have decreased physical activity or functional status, poor self-perceived health, and worse depressive symptoms than those who have fear of falling alone
La guerra contra las drogas es contraproducente: Un análisis económico de edquilibrio general
La represión de la oferta de drogas ilícitas es anlizada en un contexto de equilibrio general. Los riesgos de la actividad productora de drogas son explícitamente considerados y las drogas son pensadas como bienes básicos. El modelo estático arroja que la represión de la oferta de drogas amplifica la ofera incrementando su rentabilidad. Adicionalmente, en un contexto de economía abierta la mayor demanda del mercado mundial induce una mayor especi…
Private military contracting in weak states: Permeation or transgression of the new public management of security
New Public Management (NPM) models the emerging public administration orthodoxy. With the aim of raising the efficiency of government, the theory and practice of NPM favour the participation of private firms in public service provision. Out go bureaucracies and traditional public administration; in come flexible management and private sector input into the affairs of government. From welfare services to defence, this paradigmatic strategy has pro…
