Genetic Ancestry of the Mexican Population
Mexico's population is often perceived, particularly in U.S. discourse, as genetically homogeneous. This misconception arises from a broader tendency to treat "Mexicans" or "Latinos" as a monolithic category, obscuring historical, cultural, and genetic differences. In fact, Mexico is a highly genetically diverse country. Centuries of admixture among Indigenous, European, and African populations have created complex ancestry patterns that vary by …
Alcances de la aleatorización mendeliana para el control de confusores no observables en epidemiología
La aleatorización mendeliana es un método epidemiológico propuesto para controlar las asociaciones espurias en los estudios observacionales. Estas asociaciones suelen estar causadas por la confusión derivada de factores sociales, ambientales y de comportamiento, que pueden ser difíciles de medir. La aleatorización mendeliana se basa en la selección de variantes genéticas que se utilizan como variables instrumentales, y que influyen en los patrone…
Differential fat accumulation in early adulthood according to adolescent‐BMI and heavy metal exposure
Heavy metal exposure in adolescence may alter how fat is accumulated in later periods of life
Use of self-help groups by people living with HIV in Central America
Self-help groups (SHGs) for people living with HIV (PLHIV) are organizations created by the community to provide individuals with security, affection, improved self-esteem, and a sense of belonging. However, SHGs have also been used by the government to help implement HIV control policies. This study aimed to identify the characteristics associated with the use of SHGs by PLHIV and the routes and displacement patterns adopted by users. An analyti…
Nephrotoxic Metal Mixtures and Preadolescent Kidney Function
Exposure to metals including lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As), may impair kidney function as individual toxicants or in mixtures. However, no single medium is ideal to study multiple metals simultaneously. We hypothesized that multi-media biomarkers (MMBs), integrated indices combining information across biomarkers, are informative of adverse kidney function. Levels of Pb, Cd, and As were quantified in blood and urine in 4-6-year-old Mex…
Perinatal Outcomes Among Venezuelan Immigrants in Colombia
The association of Native American genetic ancestry and high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol
OBJECTIVE: Hispanic populations typically show a high prevalence of dyslipidemias, especially of low high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) or HDL cholesterol. Highly admixed populations are ideal groups to clarify the role of genetic ancestry on HDL concentrations, isolating it from that of other factors. The objective of this study was to estimate the association between Native American genetic ancestry and HDL-cholesterol levels independent of socio…
Life expectancy, death, and disability in Haiti, 1990-2017
Objective. To investigate the magnitude and distribution of the main causes of death, disability, and risk factors in Haiti. Methods. We conducted an ecological analysis, using data estimated from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 for the period 1990-2017, to present life expectancy (LE), healthy life expectancy (HALE) at under 1-year-old, cause-specific deaths, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), disability adjus…
Impact of the ‘Seguro Médico Siglo XXI’ medical insurance programme on neonatal and infant mortality in Mexico, 2006–14
The ‘Seguro Médico Siglo XXI’ (SMSXXI), a universal coverage medical insurance programme for children under 5 years of age, started in 2006 to help avoid catastrophic health expenditures in poor families without social security in Mexico. The study used information from the National Health Information System for the 2006–14 period. An ecological approach was followed with a panel of the 2457 municipalities of Mexico as the units of analysis. The …
Global, regional, and national levels of maternal mortality, 1990–2015
BACKGROUND: In transitioning from the Millennium Development Goal to the Sustainable Development Goal era, it is imperative to comprehensively assess progress toward reducing maternal mortality to identify areas of success, remaining challenges, and frame policy discussions. We aimed to quantify maternal mortality throughout the world by underlying cause and age from 1990 to 2015. METHODS: We estimated maternal mortality at the global, regional, …
Impact of Oportunidades on Skilled Attendance at Delivery in Rural Areas
Oportunidades (formerly PROGRESA) is a conditional cash transfer program ran by the Mexican federal government designed to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty. Among other activities, it provides free delivery attendance for women enrolled in the program. Skilled attendance at delivery has been identified as an effective strategy to reduce maternal mortality, an important health problem in Mexico. In this paper we assess the impact of Op…
Dental Health Services Utilization and Associated Factors in Children 6 to 12 Years Old in a Low‐Income Country
Various predisposing, enabling, and oral health needs variables were associated with higher dental health services utilization. As in prior reports elsewhere, these results from Nicaragua confirmed that utilization inequalities exist between socioeconomic groups. The multinomial logistic regression model evidenced the association of different variables depending on the type of service used
