Abstract Background Features of neighbourhoods affect body mass index (BMI) but this has been poorly acknowledged within the highly heterogeneous and unequal contexts Latin American cities. We evaluated associations between social, built, natural environment characteristics with BMI, investigated whether these were modified by individual socioeconomic position (SEP). Methods linked data (n = 43 968) from national health surveys to on 3428) cities 165) in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico....
Abstract Background Understanding how urban environments influence people’s health, especially as individuals age, can help identify ways to improve health in the rapidly urbanizing and aging populations. Objectives To investigate association between age self-reported (SRH) adults living Latin-American cities whether gender city-level socioeconomic characteristics modify this association. Methods Cross-sectional analyses of 71,541 aged 25–97 years, from 114 6 countries (Argentina, Brazil,...
Respiratory diseases, including influenza and coronaviruses, pose recurrent global threats. This study delves into the respiratory surveillance systems, focusing on effectiveness of SARI sentinel for total severe cases incidence estimation. Leveraging data from COVID-19 pandemic in Chile, we examined 2020-2023 (a 159-week period) comparing census results confirmed hospitalizations, with surveillance. Our analyses revealed a consistent underestimation an overestimation To address these...
Obesity is a global health problem, and its connection with social environmental factors well-established. Social factors, such as urban segregation, may impact obesity through various mechanisms, including food physical activity environments, well norms networks. This multilevel study aims to examine the effect of socio-economic residential segregation Latin American cities on individuals within those cities.
Objectives. To examine the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on cancer care access in Chile, analyzing differential effects by insurance type, gender, and age. Methods. We conducted a quasi-experimental study using interrupted time series analysis. used multiple data sources for broad evaluation of cancer-related health utilization from January 2017 to December 2020. fit negative binomial models population groups range services diagnoses. Results. A sharp drop oncology March was followed slow,...

Abstract Objectives Punta Arenas is a Chilean city situated on ancestral Aönikenk territory. The was founded by 19th‐ and 20th‐century colonists from Chile (Chiloé) Europe (Croatia). This work uses uniparental ancestry‐informative markers (AIMs) to explore the effects of historic migratory admixture patterns current genetic composition Arenas. Methods We analyzed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), Y‐chromosome single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 141 AIMs obtained 129 samples male residents with...
Background: A decreased health services utilization due to the COVID pandemic is a global concern, potentially deepening inequalities, particularly for time-sensitive conditions such as cancer, leading cause of death. Disruptions in its diagnosis and treatment impose severe long-term consequences. We examine impact SARS-COV-2 on access cancer care context highly unequal latin-american system like Chile. analyze differential effects by insurance-type, proxy socioeconomic status, gender...
Abstract Objectives We explore physical activity in early farming societies of Central Chile during the Early Ceramic and Late Intermediate Periods (200–1450 CE), a time technological changes intensification food production. The existence differences entheseal (EC) between females males is evaluated two periods with different subsistence strategies. Material methods EC were recorded method upper lower limbs 56 male female adult individuals from Period (ECP) (LIP). Hierarchical multiple...

RESUMENLa segregación residencial es parte del camino causal de diferentes resultados salud y se estudia principalmente ligada a la raza. En 1988, Massey Denton propusieron 5 dimensiones teóricas residencial: desigualdad, exposición, agrupamiento, concentración centralización, que confirmaron utilizando índices las proporciones razas EEUU. Estos son ampliamente utilizados, sin embargo, en Chile determinada por niveles socioeconómicos educacionales. Este estudio pretende evaluar si...
Abstract Objectives To analyze the mitochondrial diversity in three admixed populations and evaluate historical migration effect of native southern population movement to Santiago (capital Chile). The intensity was quantified using lineages restricted South‐Central groups. Methods D‐loop sequences were genotyped 550 unrelated individuals from San Felipe‐Los Andes ( n = 108), 217), Concepción 225). Sequence processing, alignment, haplogroup inference carried out, different genetic structure...
A high academic workload may have adverse consequences among university students.To design and validate an instrument to measure both real perceived for health care students.The questionnaire was designed based on a bibliographic revision the conduction of two focus groups conformed by undergraduate students from Faculty Medicine. Afterwards, it submitted qualitative pre-tests. The final consists self-applied with characterization section (10 questions) one concerning subject semester (five...
Abstract Background The use of Bayesian inference (BI) is a common methodology for data analysis in Ecology and Evolution. This statistical approach particularly useful cases which information scarce, because allows formalizing sources information, other than sampling ( priors ), obtained from technical reports, expert opinions beliefs. Recent reviews detected that most ecological studies non-informative without any justification, ignoring independent available to construct informative . In...
Abstract Objectives Northern Chile is an area characterized by a complex cultural and demographic trajectory. During the last few centuries, this trajectory has become destination of intra‐ intercontinental migratory waves. In study, we analyzed Y chromosome to evaluate how admixture patterns have affected genetic composition populations in northern compared with other country. Methods A total 311 people from urban (Antofagasta Calama), rural (Azapa Camarones), Native (Aymara Atacameño) were...
