Association between Physical Activity and 32 Chronic Conditions among Spanish Adults
The objective was to analyse the association between physical activity and the risk of suffering from 32 chronic conditions using a large representative sample of Spanish adults. We utilised the dataset of the last edition of the Spanish National Health Survey, which was conducted in the year 2017. This dataset included a total of 23,089 adults between the ages of 15 and 103 years. The average age was 53.4 years (standard deviation 18.9 years). R…
Health-Related Quality of Life in Adult Spanish Women with Endometriomas or Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a disabling disease that may significantly compromise a woman's social relationships, sexuality, and mental health. Considering the impact of endometriomas and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) on quality of life and the limited number of papers on this topic, the objective of this study was to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adult Spanish women with the condition. A case-control study was conducted on a grou…
Is Maternal Use of Paracetamol during Pregnancy Associated with Anogenital Distance in Male Newborns? The Results from the Nela Birth Cohort
Paracetamol is the one of the most commonly used medications during pregnancy. However, its potential antiandrogenic effect has been suggested. The objective of this study was to evaluate associations between maternal paracetamol use during pregnancy and anogenital distance (AGD) in male newborns from a Spanish birth cohort. The study included two hundred and seventy-seven mother-male child pairs with self-reported paracetamol use and frequency d…
Salivary Ferritin Changes in Patients with Covid-19
High ferritin serum levels can be found in patients with macrophage activation syndrome, and increased serum ferritin due to cytokine storm have been reported in severe COVID-19 patients. Saliva is being increasingly used in COVID-19 tests as a diagnostic sample for virus detection and quantification. This study aimed to evaluate the possible changes in ferritin in saliva in COVID-19 patients. In addition, the effects of different inactivation SA…
Strength Conditioning Program to Prevent Adductor Muscle Strains in Football
Coaches at the professional level are often concerned about negative side effects from testing and intensive resistance training periods, and they are not willing to base their training prescriptions on data obtained from semiprofessional or amateur football players. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to analyze the reliability and effectiveness of two adductor injury active prevention programs using the adductor/abductor ratio and defic…
Intimate Partner Violence and Its Associated Factors in a Sample of Colombian Immigrant Population in Spain
The economic and nutrition transition in Equatorial Guinea coincided with a double burden of over- and under nutrition
Towards an ecology minded public health
Public health is about making people healthier but people's health greatly depends on the conditions they live in. Our environment is, to an unusually large extent, a human byproduct, shaped by social actions, regulations, economic forces, relations of power, international relations, and so on. In many cases we are not still even aware of all those interrelations, and of how actions in one place affect other areas of our ecosystem. Therefore, env…
A glance at child health
A glance at child health More than 10 million children under 5 years of age die every year from five common illnesses: diarrhoea, respiratory diseases, malnutrition, measles and malaria
Health care provision for illegal immigrants
European countries are becoming multicultural societies, and national health systems have progressively adapted following their political and historical peculiarities.1 Overall, sick, immigrants with regularised administrative status are able to use health services in equal terms than people from the host country. Legal immigrants have a poorer health status and worse living conditions than the host population, and consequently, may even have a h…
A Political Sociology of Education and Development in Latin America
In this article, we argue that a political sociology perspective facilitates analysis of the potential and limitations of education to contribute to national development in Latin America. Such a perspective enables policy makers, practitioners, and researchers to take into account historical forces, institutional contradictions, and contextual factors, both national and international, that shape the possibilities of educational and social change …
Poliomyelitis
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 74% of the world's children were fully immunized against poliomyelitis by early 1990; even so, the disease is still paralysing almost a quarter of a million individuals each year and killing perhaps 25 000. This paper - one of a series undertaken on specific diseases for the World Bank's Health Sector Priorities Review on diseases of major importance in the developing world - reviews available ev…
Health maintenance organizations in developing countries
Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are a relatively new and alternative means of providing health care, combining a risk-sharing (insurance) function with health service provision. Their potential for lowering costs has attracted great interest in the USA and elsewhere, and has raised questions regarding their applicability to other settings. Little attention, however, has been given to critically reviewing the experience with HMOs in other …
