ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a subtype of interstitial lung disease (ILD) that significantly affects people's quality of life, whose prevalence and mortality has increased. AIM: To determine the prevalence and lethality of ILD in the Los Ríos Region between the years 2018 and 2019. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Review of a database of all patients attended at an outpatient clinic of the regional hospital. Those patients with the diagnosis of ILD and seen between 2018 and 2019 were selected. Mortality and its causes were verified with death certificates. RESULTS: In the study period, 339 cases with ILD, aged 71 ± 10 years (64% women) were identified. The calculated ILD prevalence was 84 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, with a higher predominancy in Futrono and Paillaco communes. IPF and Connective Tissue Diseases were the predominant subtypes. Overall lethality was 18%, with more deaths among patients with IPF (n = 31). CONCLUSIONS: In the Los Ríos Region, ILDs have a relevant prevalence and lethality.

La antropometría es un instrumento clave para determinar cambios producidos por el entrenamiento y la edad, así como una herramienta para detectar talentos deportivos. El objetivo de esta investigación fue describir las características antropométricas de basquetbolistas varones seleccionados chilenos sub-14 durante el año 2017. Se evaluaron 28 deportistas con una edad promedio de 14.14 ± 0.36 [13.33-14.63] los cuales participaron del proceso de concentración de la Selección Nacional. Se evaluaron 25 variables antropométricas. Se calculó la composición corporal pentacompartimental, el somatotipo y la proporcionalidad. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva para la caracterización de los deportistas. Se encontró que los basquetbolistas sub-14 chilenos presentan un porcentaje de masa muscular elevado, un somatotipo mesoectomórfico y proporciones (score Z) negativas respecto a su altura.
Anthropometry is a key instrument to find body changes produced by sports training and age. It is also being used to determine young skilled athletes. The aim of this study was to determine the anthropometric characteristics of Chilean male basketball players under 14 years of age during 2017. We measured 28 athletes with an average age of 14.14 ± 0.36 [13.3314.63] who participated in the National Chilean Team concentration process. In the study, 25 anthropometric variables were measured including penta compartimental body composition, somatotype and proportionality were estimated. Statistical description was applied for the athletes characterization. The analysis showed that Chilean U-14 basketball players have a high percentage of muscle mass, a meso-ectomorphic somatotype and negative proportions (Z score) regarding their height.
