Abstract Background Evidence is scarce on how to promote health and decrease cumulative inequalities for disadvantaged older people. Downstream complex interventions focusing intermediate factors (self-management, literacy social capital) may have the potential mitigate inequitable impacts of determinants in health. The aim AEQUALIS study was assess effectiveness a group-based intervention improve self-perceived as indicator inequality. Methods Pragmatic randomised clinical trial addressed...
We undertook a prospective study to estimate the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and associated risk factors in cohort 669 HIV-1 infected women.The O'Sullivan glucose tolerance tests were performed during regular visits 609 mothers.The median age was 30.7 years (range 16-44), with most women having had heterosexual contact (67%).

Body composition was assessed bioimpedance analysis (BIA), grip a JAMAR dynamometer performance by 4 m gait speed. diagnosed (gait speed <0.8 m/s; <30 kg men or <20 women, mass...
Older people living in socio-economic deprived urban areas especially suffer the effects of health inequalities but have been insufficiently targeted. Strategies promoted by local primary care agents might influence and social behaviours as intermediate determinants that are modifiable thus can potentially mitigate inequalities. Therefore, we aim to develop assess effectiveness a complex intervention based on community programme promotes self-management, literacy capital targeting older from...
