The Epi training kit pilot
Introduction: (EpiTKit), a fully Spanish-language, open-access MOOC, was developed to provide inclusive, gender-aware, and context-sensitive training in infectious-disease epidemiology using open-source software. Methods: A learner-centered, multimethod design guided the pilot of five learning units delivered via the edX Edge platform. Participants were recruited through a regional training programme. Quantitative data were collected through sati…
Understanding the community management of long-term physical and mental health conditions in Bolivia, Colombia and Guatemala
INTRODUCTION: Community-based healthcare approaches can improve outcomes and reduce costs for long-term physical and mental health conditions. To design, evaluate and implement such interventions, it is essential to explore the existing resources of community and healthcare institutions, understand stakeholder perspectives and identify potential barriers and facilitators to community-based care for non-communicable diseases. Our aim was to conduc…

Socioeconomic status is positively associated with measures of adiposity and insulin resistance, but inversely associated with dyslipidaemia in Colombian children
BACKGROUND: Low socioeconomic status (SES) has been associated with higher risk of cardiometabolic diseases in developed societies, but investigation of SES and cardiometabolic risk in children in less economically developed populations is sparse. We aimed to examine associations among SES and cardiometabolic risk factors in Colombian children. METHODS: We used data from a population-based study of 1282 children aged 6-10 years from Bucaramanga, …
Adiposity indices in the prediction of insulin resistance in prepubertal Colombian children
Objective To compare BMI with abdominal skinfold thickness (ASF), waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio in the prediction of insulin resistance (IR) in prepubertal Colombian children. Design We calculated age- and sex-specific Z -scores for BMI, ASF, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio and three other skinfold-thickness sites. Logistic regression with stepwise selection ( P = 0·80 for entry and P = 0·05 for retention) was performed…
