Abstract The concept of a so-called urban advantage in health ignores the possibility heterogeneity outcomes across cities. Using harmonized dataset from SALURBAL project, we describe variability and predictors life expectancy proportionate mortality 363 cities nine Latin American countries. Life differed substantially within same country. Cause-specific also varied cities, with some causes death (unintentional violent injuries deaths) showing large variation countries, whereas other...
BackgroundLatin America is one of the most unequal regions in world, but evidence lacking on magnitude health inequalities urban areas region. Our objective was to examine life expectancy six large Latin American cities and its association with a measure area-level socioeconomic status.MethodsIn this ecological analysis, we used data from Salud Urbana en Latina (SALURBAL) study (Buenos Aires, Argentina; Belo Horizonte, Brazil; Santiago, Chile; San José, Costa Rica; Mexico City, Mexico;...

Background Urbanisation in Latin America (LA) is heterogeneous and could have varying implications for infant mortality (IM). Identifying city factors related to IM can help design policies that promote health cities. Methods We quantified variability rates (IMR) across cities examined associations between urban characteristics IMR a cross-sectional design. estimated the period 2014–2016 using vital registration 286 above 100 000 people eight countries. Using national censuses, we calculated...
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is one of most urbanized violent regions worldwide. Homicides in youth (15-24 years old, yo) young adults (25-39yo) are an especially pressing public health problem. Yet there little research on how city characteristics relate to homicide rates adults. We aimed describe among adults, as well their association with socioeconomic built environment factors across 315 cities eight LAC countries.This ecological study. estimated for period 2010-2016....
We investigated associations of socioeconomic position (SEP) with chronic disease risk factors, and heterogeneity in this patterning by provincial-level urbanicity Argentina.We used generalized estimating equations to determine the relationship between SEP body mass index, high blood pressure, diabetes, low physical activity, eating fruit vegetables, examined nationally representative, cross-sectional survey data from 2005. All estimates were age adjusted gender stratified.Among men living...
Realizou-se um estudo epidemiológico descritivo da mortalidade por homicídios em países América Latina (Argentina, Brasil, Colômbia e México) de 1990 a 2007.

Cesarean section (CS) is a surgical procedure that, when medically justified, can help reduce maternal and infant morbidity mortality. Worldwide CS rates (CSR) have been increasing; Latin America has that are among the highest in world.

Using a cluster study, categorized according demographic and traits. A spatial distribution analysis was conducted each health-related event terms its geographic location...
Abstract Studies of life expectancy (LE) in small areas cities are relatively common high-income countries but rare Latin American countries. Small-area estimation methods can help to describe and quantify inequities LE between neighborhoods their predictors. Our objective was analyze the distribution spatial patterning across Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA), Argentina, its association with socioeconomic characteristics.
