  • Adult temporal mobility (2002-2010) in material wealth and physical health, self-perceived health, sociality, and use of addictive substances

    Open AccessJonathan Bauchet, Ricarddo Godoy et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    Changes in relative socioeconomic rank during adulthood (intragenerational mobility) are increasingly recognized as important determinants of health and other well-being indicators. Quantitative studies in high-income countries find that mobility in rank generally correlates with these outcomes, but the direction and mechanisms remain unclear. Evidence from small-scale societies is scarcer due to limited panel data. We examine the correlation bet…

    Open AccessMariana Poblete, Caroline Andrews et al.ARTICLETopics in Cognitive Science2026

    The Chana Research Station for Language Sciences and Interculturality is a scientific initiative dedicated to exploring the linguistic, cultural, and cognitive diversity of the Peruvian Amazon. Building on long‐standing local partnerships and collaborations, Chana facilitates research on cognition that extends beyond populations from industrialized democracies, traditionally overrepresented in behavioral sciences. Other populations—such as those …

  • Preferences for consonance are evident in Indigenous Amazonians with higher, but not lower, levels of global integration

    Open AccessMervyl J Mcpherson, Malinda J McPherson-McNato et al.ARTICLECognition2026

    It is unclear how elementary musical preferences are shaped by experience, in part due to the difficulty of measuring the presumptively relevant aspects of human experience. Previous work with an indigenous small-scale society in the Bolivian Amazon - Tsimane' - has failed to find evidence of the preference for canonically consonant to dissonant music intervals that is widespread in Western listeners. Leveraging changing conditions in the Amazon,…

  • Long panel studies of small-scale rural societies in the Global South

    Open AccessJonathan Bauchet, Ricardo Godoy et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2026

    Many topics in the behavioral sciences and epidemiology require researchers to directly observe entities (e.g., individuals, households) over a long time to identify lasting effects. Long-term panel data collection is more common in high-income countries than in small-scale rural societies (SSRS) of low-income countries. SSRS are mobile, nature-dependent, linguistic minorities, and highly autarkic. Analyzing such data using a life-course perspect…

  • Economic convergence, intragenerational economic mobility, and inequality in a native Amazonian small-scale society of Indigenous People in Bolivia

    Open AccessRicardo Godoy, Jonathan Bauchet et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2025Referências: 13

    Adult intragenerational rank mobility matters for quality of life. • There are no quantitative studies of intragenerational mobility in small-scale societies. • Mobility study of Tsimane’ Indigenous People in Bolivia starts to fill the gap. • Like developed economies, pockets of rank immobility appear at the top. • But there was also more rank mobility & the bottom (especially men) converged fast. Adult intragenerational mobility reflects society…

  • Compliance at the margins of the law

  • Global incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys), and healthy life expectancy (Hale) for 371 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territor…

    Open AccessAlize J Ferrari, Damian Francesco Santomauro et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2024

    BACKGROUND: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations. The availability of disease burden estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public health researchers, policy makers, and other professionals to im…

  • Costs-effectiveness and cost components of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions affecting antibiotic resistance outcomes in hospital patients

    Open AccessKasim Allel, María José Hernández et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Introduction Limited information on costs and the cost-effectiveness of hospital interventions to reduce antibiotic resistance (ABR) hinder efficient resource allocation. Methods We conducted a systematic literature review for studies evaluating the costs and cost-effectiveness of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions aimed at reducing, monitoring and controlling ABR in patients. Articles published until 12 December 2023 were explor…

  • Changes in adult well-being and economic inequalities

    Open AccessRicardo Godoy, Jonathan Bauchet et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2024Referências: 27

    Knowing what happens over time to the lifeways of people in contemporary small-scale non-industrial societies of the rural Global South matters because it helps assess changes in the quality of life of underrepresented groups. It has been hard to answer the question because longitudinal information is rarely collected in such settings. A longitudinal dataset of nine years (2002–2010) from a horticultural-foraging society of Indigenous People in t…

  • Commonality and variation in mental representations of music revealed by a cross-cultural comparison of rhythm priors in 15 countries

    Open AccessNori Jacoby, Rainer Polak et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2024Citada por: 1Referências: 105

    Music is present in every known society but varies from place to place. What, if anything, is universal to music cognition? We measured a signature of mental representations of rhythm in 39 participant groups in 15 countries, spanning urban societies and Indigenous populations. Listeners reproduced random ‘seed’ rhythms; their reproductions were fed back as the stimulus (as in the game of ‘telephone’), such that their biases (the prior) could be …

    INTRODUCTION: To present an analysis of the Brazilian health system and subnational (state) variation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, based on 10 non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We collected daily information on implementation of 10 NPI designed to inform the public of health risks and promote distancing and mask use at the national level for eight countries across the Americas. We then analyse the adoption o…

  • Public health decisions in the Covid-19 pandemic require more than ‘follow the science’

    Open AccessThana Cristina De Campos, Eduardo A Undurraga et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2021

    Although empirical evidence may provide a much desired sense of certainty amidst a pandemic characterised by uncertainty, the vast gamut of available COVID-19 data, including misinformation, has instead increased confusion and distrust in authorities’ decisions. One key lesson we have been gradually learning from the COVID-19 pandemic is that the availability of empirical data and scientific evidence alone do not automatically lead to good decisi…

  • The effect of Covid-19 on the economy

    Open AccessKenzo Asahi, Eduardo A Undurraga et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Governments worldwide have implemented large-scale non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as social distancing or school closures, to prevent and control the growth of the COVID-19 pandemic. These strategies, implemented with varying stringency, have imposed substantial social and economic costs to society. As some countries begin to reopen and ease mobility restrictions, lockdowns in smaller geographic areas are increasingly consider…

    From a scientific standpoint, the world is more prepared than ever to respond to infectious disease outbreaks; paradoxically, globalization and air travel, antimicrobial resistance, the threat of bioterrorism, and newly emerging pathogens driven by ecological, socioeconomic, and environmental factors, have increased the risk of global epidemics. 1 , 2 , 3 Following the 2002–2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), global efforts to build gl…

  • Centre-based care is a significant predictor of lower body mass index in early childhood

    Open AccessKasim Allel, Marigen Narea et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2020

    BACKGROUND: The prevalence of childhood overweight has increased by approximately 50% in the past three decades, becoming a major public health concern worldwide. In Chile, an upper middle-income country, about 38% of children between two and four years of age are overweight, almost double the average in Latin America and the Caribbean. Various environmental and individual factors, and their interactions, affect childhood weight. Emerging evidenc…

  • Covid-19 Has Exposed How 'The Other Half' (Still) Lives

    Open AccessM Gil, Eduardo A UndurragaARTICLEBulletin of Latin American Research2020Citada por: 3Referências: 15

    Socioeconomic factors are heavily shaping the COVID-19 pandemic in South America. Consequently, societies are now facing the stark effects of lockdown, while largely failing to stop the epidemic. In Chile, this has been amplified by decision-makers who have overlooked critical socio-spatial aspects of the epidemic. Precarious living conditions, together with spatial segregation and unstable domestic economies, help explain why mitigation strategi…

  • Market Engagement and Indigenous People

    Jonathan Bauchet, Eduardo A Undurraga et al.ARTICLEJournal of Anthropological Research2020Citada por: 1Referências: 28

    Autarkic indigenous societies are changing fast from increased engagement with markets. Western writers have ascribed a wide array of often contradictory effects to markets, including greater sociability, increased consumption of temptation goods, greater industriousness, and lower adherence to local beliefs. We test the four hypotheses using data from Tsimane', a native Amazonian society in Bolivia. 500 participants aged ≥16y were tracked annual…

  • Past, present, and future of global health financing

    Open AccessAlenda Y Chang, Angela Y Chang et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2019

    BACKGROUND: Comprehensive and comparable estimates of health spending in each country are a key input for health policy and planning, and are necessary to support the achievement of national and international health goals. Previous studies have tracked past and projected future health spending until 2040 and shown that, with economic development, countries tend to spend more on health per capita, with a decreasing share of spending from developme…

  • Global, regional, and national age-sex-specific mortality for 282 causes of death in 195 countries and territories, 1980–2017

    Open AccessGregory A Roth, D Abate et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2018

    BACKGROUND: Global development goals increasingly rely on country-specific estimates for benchmarking a nation's progress. To meet this need, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 estimated global, regional, national, and, for selected locations, subnational cause-specific mortality beginning in the year 1980. Here we report an update to that study, making use of newly available data and improved methods. GBD …

  • Global, regional, and national disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys) for 359 diseases and injuries and healthy life expectancy (Hale) for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017

    Open AccessHmwe Hmwe Kyu, D Abate et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2018

    BACKGROUND: How long one lives, how many years of life are spent in good and poor health, and how the population's state of health and leading causes of disability change over time all have implications for policy, planning, and provision of services. We comparatively assessed the patterns and trends of healthy life expectancy (HALE), which quantifies the number of years of life expected to be lived in good health, and the complementary measure o…

  • Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 354 diseases and injuries for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017

    Open AccessL James, Spencer L James et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2018

    BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2017 (GBD 2017) includes a comprehensive assessment of incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) for 354 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1990 to 2017. Previous GBD studies have shown how the decline of mortality rates from 1990 to 2016 has led to an increase in life expectancy, an ageing global population, and an expansion of the non-fatal…
