We used National Performance Evaluation Survey data to estimate the prevalence and associated factors of edentulism among noninstitutionalized adults aged 35 years older in Mexico. Statistically, variables positively with were age (odds ratio [OR]=1.08) female gender (OR=1.79). Nonsmoking status (OR=0.70) having a higher wealth index score (OR=0.72) negatively associated. This information constitutes first large-scale evaluation Mexico for one World Health Organization's priority oral health...
In January 2008, a national multifaceted road safety intervention program (IMESEVI) funded by the Bloomberg Philanthropies was launched in Mexico. Two years later 2010, IMESEVI refocused as part of 10-country international consortium demonstration project (IMESEVI/RS10). We evaluate initial effects each phase on numbers RT crashes, injuries and deaths Mexico two main target cities Guadalajara-Zapopan León.An interrupted time series analysis using autoregressive integrated moving average...
Introduction: We present a novel multistep technique to estimate the actual burden of road traffic mortality in Mexico during time period 1999 2009 by comparing 3 approaches for redistribution nonspecific (“garbage”) International Classification Diseases (ICD)-coded deaths. Methods: Road (RT) data were extracted using secondary analysis Mexican databases 2009. In an attempt correct underestimation due inappropriately coded deaths, those deaths assigned codes redistributed utilizing different...
To quantify the prevalence of mobile phone use among motorcyclists in 3 Mexican cities and to identify associated factors.Two rounds roadside observations were conducted Guadalajara-Zapopan, León, Cuernavaca from December 2011 May 2012. Observation sites selected randomly all circulating at those recorded. Motorcyclists observed talking into a (either handheld or hands-free) texting recorded as using while driving.A total 4244 observed. The overall was 0.64 percent (95% confidence interval...
S ummary To determine the prevalence of edentulism in adults aged 18 years and older Mexico to describe its distribution 20 32 States Mexico, highlighting experience WHO age groups. A secondary analysis National Performance Evaluation Survey 2002–2003 (representative at state level part Word Health Survey) was undertaken. The sample design probabilistic, stratified through conglomerates. Data on dental conditions were available only for states leading a total 24 159 households ( N = 54 638...

Materials methods Using an incidence-based illness analysis from a household perspective employing bottom-up approach all direct medical non-medical costs, indirect costs were estimated for sample RTI people who sought care 1 month four different facilities. Individuals surveyed just before discharge emergency rooms (ER)...
Acute poisoning is one of the most common reasons for emergency department visits around world.

Road traffic crashes have been an increasing threat to the wellbeing of road users worldwide; unacceptably high number people die or become disabled from them. While high-income countries successfully implemented effective interventions help reduce burden injuries (RTIs) in their countries, low- and middle-income (LMICs) not yet achieved similar results. Both scientific research capacity development proven be useful for preventing RTIs countries. In 1999, a group leading researchers...
