Obesity is considered one of the most serious public health problems 21st century in children and adolescents. The percentile or Z-score body mass index widely used adolescents to define assess overweight obesity, but it does not determine percentage total fat. Other anthropometric measurements that fat are skinfold thickness methods composition assessment such as bio impedance analysis, both which rapid inexpensive.The aim study was correlate determined by Slaughter equation with analysis...

The present study estimates the prevalence of some enteropathogens in infants and preschoolers with acute diarrhea. From 2006 to 2007, 5459 consecutive stool samples were evaluated. Cryptosporidium parvum was parasite identified higher frequency (5.1%), followed by Giardia lamblia (1.2%). Campylobacter jejuni isolated 858 cases (15.7%) most frequent enteropathogen overall. rates C parvum, Shigella, Salmonella summer. Rotavirus had expected winter peak it third because its frequency.

Introducción: La prevalencia de desnutrición en México se ha mantenido superior la población rural nacional con respecto a las zonas urbanas. El patrón crecimiento publicado por OMS 2006 confirma que los niños ≤5 años tienen el mismo potencial si condiciones vida son óptimas, existiendo diversos factores pueden afectar estado nutricional. objetivo del estudio fue determinar existe asociación entre demográficos-socioeconómicos nutricional poblaciones rurales Colima.Material y métodos: Diseño:...

Clinical data from hospital admissions are typically utilized to determine the prognostic capacity of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) indices. However, as status and severity markers evolve over time, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis becomes more appropriate. The present assessed predictive power for death at various time points throughout patient hospitalization. In a cohort study involving 515 hospitalized patients (General Hospital Number 1 Mexican...
