Common patterns between dengue cases, climate, and local environmental variables in Costa Rica
Dengue transmission poses significant challenges for public health authorities worldwide due to its susceptibility to various factors, including environmental and climate variability, affecting its incidence and geographic spread. This study focuses on Costa Rica, a country characterized by diverse microclimates nearby, where dengue has been endemic since its introduction in 1993. Using wavelet coherence and clustering analysis, we performed a ti…
Bayesian spatial modeling of childhood overweight and obesity prevalence in Costa Rica
Especially for childhood obesity, the average years of schooling is a non-linear factor, describing a U-inverted curve. Lower percentages of households in poverty and population under 14 years old are slightly associated with higher levels of obesity. Districts with high commercial and touristic activity present higher prevalence risk
Mathematical and statistical models for the control of mosquito-borne diseases
Objective. To summarize the results of research conducted in Costa Rica in which mathematical and statistical methods were implemented to study the transmission dynamics of mosquito-borne diseases. Methods. Three articles with mathematical and statistical analysis on vector-borne diseases in Costa Rica were selected and reviewed. These papers show the value and relevance of using different quantitative methods to understand disease dynamics and s…
Valoración funcional en niños y niñas con multidiscapacidad o sordoceguera
La valoración funcional permite tener un amplio conocimiento del desempeño de los niños, niñas y adolescentes con sordoceguera o multiretos (multidiscapacidad), en sus diferentes ambientes (social, familiar, escolar o laboral), en actividades prácticas para su independencia y realización personal, así como para su interrelación dinámica con la condición anatómica y fisiológica (enfermedades, trastornos, discapacidad) que poseen. El objetivo primo…
