Objetivo: la ferritina es importante en el almacenamiento de hierro intracelular, en una forma soluble no tóxica. Sus niveles en la gestación se la relacionan con la salud de la madre y con su descendencia. El objetivo es escribir los niveles séricos de ferritina y prevalencia de déficit de ferritina, así como los factores sociodemográficos asociados en gestantes de Colombia. Metodología: estudio transversal; análisis secundario de la Encuesta de Situación Nutricional de Colombia, 2015. Se evaluaron en 1.234 embarazadas con edades entre 12 y 48 años: sus características sociodemográficas y antropométricas, la distribución de los niveles séricos y la prevalencia de déficit de ferritina. Para estimar la asociación entre las diferentes variables sociodemográficas y los niveles séricos, o la prevalencia de déficit de ferritina, se utilizaron modelos de regresión multivariables. Resultados: la prevalencia de deficiencia de ferritina fue de 44.5 % (IC 95 % 40.1 % a 49.0 %), los niveles séricos de ferritina oscilaron entre 4 µg/L y 295,7 µg/L, con un promedio de 29.3 µg/L (IC 95 % 26,5 µg/L-32.2 µg/L). Las gestantes del segundo (OR (OR 2.19 IC 95 % 1.50 a 3.19) y tercer trimestre (OR 3.84 IC 95 % 2.68 a 5.50), aquellas que residen en la región Atlántica (OR 2.18 IC 95 % 1.25 a 3.82) y en la región Orinoquia (OR 2.41 IC 95 %1.19 a 4.88), mostraron asociación con el déficit de ferritina. Conclusión: se halló alta prevalencia en el déficit de ferritina en gestantes colombianas.

Introduction: Ferritin is important in the storage of intracellular iron, in a non-toxic soluble form. Its levels during pregnancy are related to the health of the mother and her offspring. Objective: To describe the serum ferritin levels and the prevalence of ferritin deficiency, and the associated sociodemographic factors in pregnant women in Colombia. Methodology: Cross-sectional study; secondary analysis of the Nutritional Situation Survey of Colombia, 2015. The following were evaluated in 1,234 pregnant women aged between 12 and 48 years: their sociodemographic and anthropometric characteristics, the distribution of serum levels, and the prevalence of ferritin deficiency. To estimate the association between the different sociodemographic variables and serum levels, or the prevalence of ferritin deficiency, multivariate regression models were used. Results: The prevalence of ferritin deficiency was 44.5% (95% CI 40.1% to 49.0%), serum ferritin levels ranged from 4 µg/L to 295.7 µg/L, with a average of 29.3 µg/L (95% CI 26.5 µg/L - 32.2 µg/L). Pregnant women in the second (OR (OR 2.19 95% CI 1.50 to 3.19) and third trimester (OR 3.84 95% CI 2.68 to 5.50), those residing in the Atlantic region ( OR 2.18 95% CI 1.25 to 3.82) and in the Orinoquia region (OR 2.41 95% CI 1.19 to 4.88), showed an association with ferritin deficiency. Conclusion: A high prevalence of ferritin deficiency was found in Colombian pregnant women.

Jogo de fronteiras: sobre a produção (bio)tecnológica de corporalidades femininas no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil / Border game: on the (bio)technological production of female corporalities in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Resumo O artigo trata da interface entre gênero, classes sociais e (bio)tecnologias destinadas ao aprimoramento da estética corporal. Dialogando com os estudos de gênero, investiga como essas (bio)tecnologias atuam na produção de corpos e feminilidades contemporâneos em diferentes grupos sociais, baseando-se em pesquisas etnográficas realizadas em circuitos onde essas intervenções são realizadas. Analisa-se os usos, sentidos e moralidades atribuídos a elas, mostrando como fabricam convenções ao mesmo tempo estéticas, morais e corporais de feminilidade, num processo também atravessado por distinções e pertencimentos de classe.

Abstract The article discusses the interface between gender, social classes, and (bio)technologies to improve body aesthetics. Dialoguing with gender studies, it investigates how these (bio)technologies act in the production of contemporary bodies and femininities in different social groups based on ethnographic research performed in circuits where these interventions occur. We analyze the uses, meanings, and moralities attributed to them, showing how they fabricate conventions simultaneously aesthetic, moral, and bodily of femininity in a process also traversed by distinctions and class belonging.

Actitudes desde la clase social baja hacia la clase social alta: el papel del contacto y la ansiedad intergrupal

Introducción: el contacto intergrupal es un buen predictor de las actitudes positivas hacia otros grupos, relación que podría ser explicada por una menor ansiedad intergrupal. Estas asociaciones han sido analizadas entre distintos grupos, como la nacionalidad o la religión. Sin embargo, el contacto y las actitudes entre clases sociales han sido escasamente explorados. Por este motivo, analizamos el efecto mediador de la ansiedad intergrupal sobre la relación entre el contacto intergrupal y las actitudes positivas desde las personas de la clase social subjetiva baja hacia las de clase social subjetiva alta. Esperamos una relación positiva entre contacto (cantidad y calidad) y actitudes positivas, con la mediación de una menor ansiedad intergrupal. Método: en una muestra chilena no representativa (N = 118), realizamos análisis de regresiones para evaluar nuestra hipótesis. Resultados: los resultados respaldaron nuestra principal hipótesis, la cantidad y calidad del contacto fueron asociados a actitudes más positivas hacia la clase social subjetiva alta, mediada por una menor ansiedad intergrupal. Conclusiones: discutimos las implicancias para las relaciones entre clases sociales y las limitaciones asociadas a la muestra y la evaluación de la clase social.

Introduction: Intergroup contact is a good predictor of positive attitudes towards other groups, relationships that could be mediated by lower intergroup anxiety. These associations have been analyzed among different groups, such as nationality or religion. However, contact and attitudes among social classes have been scarcely explored. For this reason, we analyzed the mediator effect of intergroup anxiety on the relationship between intergroup contact and positive attitudes from people of lower subjective social class to those of higher subjective social class. We expected a positive relationship between contact (quantity and quality) and positive attitudes, with the mediation of lower intergroup anxiety. Method: In a non-representative Chilean sample (N = 118), we conducted regressions analyses to evaluate our hypothesis. Results: the results supported our main hypothesis, contact quantity and quality were associated with more positive attitudes toward individuals of higher subjective social class, mediated by lower intergroup anxiety. Conclusions: we discussed the implications for relationships among social classes and the limitations associated with the sample and assessment of the social class.

Relación del nivel socioeconómico con el rendimiento académico de estudiantes durante la pandemia por COVID-19 / Relationship of socioeconomic level with the academic performance of students during the COVID-19 pandemic

Introducción: el nivel socioeconómico (NSE) de las familias tiene un papel fundamentan en el desempeño académico de los estudiantes. Durante la pandemia, las familias con NSE bajo tuvieron menores oportunidades y se acrecentaron las desigualdades por limitaciones económicas y técnicas, lo cual pudo haber influido en las calificaciones y rendimiento académico de los alumnos. Objetivo: identificar la relación entre el NSE y el rendimiento académico de un grupo de estudiantes de licenciatura en enfermería durante la pandemia COVID-19. Metodología: estudio transversal, cuantitativo, analítico, con alumnos que tuvieron educación a distancia, se utilizó el instrumento denominado Nivel Socioeconómico (NSE) de la Asociación Mexicana de Agencias de Inteligencia de Mercado y Opinión Pública (AMAI), así como los promedios del semestre cursado en línea Resultados: participaron 167 alumnos, entre las variables de rendimiento académico y nivel socioeconómico se obtuvo un valor de p = 0.961, para las variables de sexo y estado civil se encontró asociación con un valor de p < 0.05. Conclusiones: no se identificó ninguna relación entre las variables del rendimiento académico y el nivel socioeconómico; sin embargo, otras variables como estado civil y sexo dieron significancia estadística, por lo que se sugiere ahondar en estas variables, así como su relación con el rendimiento académico.

Introduction: The socioeconomic level (SES) of families has a fundamental role in the academic performance of students, during the pandemic families with a low SES had fewer opportunities and increased inequalities due to economic and technical limitations, which could influence grades and academic performance. of the students Objective: To identify th e relationship between the SES and aca demic performance of nursing undergraduate students during COVID-19. Methodology: Cross-sectional, quantitative, analytical study with students who had distance education, the instrument called Socioeconomic Level (NSE) of the Mexican Association of Market Intelligence Agencies and Public Opinion (AMAI) was used. and the averages of the semester completed online. Results: 167 students participated, between the variables of academic performance and socioeconomic level a value of p = 0.961 was obtained, for the variables of sex, marital status an association was found with a p value less than 0.05. Conclusions: No relationship was identified between the variables of academic performance and socioeconomic level, however, other variables such as marital status and sex gave statistical significance, so it is suggested to delve into these variables as well as their relationship with academic performance.

The impact of child poverty on brain development: does money matter? / O impacto da pobreza infantil no desenvolvimento do cérebro: o dinheiro importa?

ABSTRACT The development of the human nervous system makes up a series of fundamental and interdependent events involving birth, growth, and neuronal maturation, in addition to the positive or negative selection of synapses of these neurons that will participate in the composition of neural circuits essential to the activity of the nervous system. In this context, where environment and social relationships seem to be relevant markers for neurodevelopment, advanced neuroimaging techniques and behavioral assessment tools have demonstrated alterations in brain regions and cognitive functions among children developing in low or high socioeconomic status environments. Considering the aspects mentioned, this review aimed to identify the importance of socioeconomic status in children's brain development, seeking to identify what are the impacts of these factors on the morphological and physiological formation of the nervous system, allowing a greater understanding of the importance of environmental factors in neurodevelopmental processes.

RESUMO O desenvolvimento do sistema nervoso humano compõe uma série de eventos fundamentais e interdependentes envolvendo o nascimento, crescimento e maturação neuronal, além da seleção positiva ou negativa de sinapses desses neurônios que participarão da composição de circuitos neurais essenciais à atividade do sistema nervoso. Nesse contexto, em que o ambiente e as relações sociais parecem ser marcadores relevantes para o neurodesenvolvimento, técnicas avançadas de neuroimagem e ferramentas de avaliação comportamental têm demonstrado alterações em regiões cerebrais e funções cognitivas em crianças que se desenvolvem em ambientes de baixo ou alto nível socioeconômico. Considerando os aspectos mencionados, esta revisão teve como objetivo identificar a importância do status socioeconômico no desenvolvimento cerebral infantil, buscando identificar quais são os impactos desses fatores na formação morfológica e fisiológica do sistema nervoso, permitindo maior compreensão da importância dos fatores ambientais nos processos de neurodesenvolvimento.

Caries Dental y Estado Nutricional en Chilenos con Dentición Mixta de entre 5 a 12 Años. Estudio Observacional

La caries dental es una de las enfermedades más prevalentes en la odontología pediátrica. Determinar la prevalencia de caries dental según estado nutricional, estrato social y sexo de niños de entre 5 a 12 años con dentición mixta. Se realizo un estudio descriptivo de cohorte retrospectivo, cuya muestra considero 161 niños atendidos durante el año 2021 en la Clínica Odontológica de la Universidad Andrés Bello. La clasificación del estado nutricional se realizó a través del Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) y su score Z (IMCz-score), mientras que el estrato social se determinó por el método de estratificación social Graffar-Méndez Castellano, siendo estas variables relacionadas con la prevalencia de caries dental obtenida a partir de examen radiográfico. No existen diferencias significativas entre grupos para la prevalencia de caries según estado nutricional, (p = 0,143), estrato social (p = 0,344) y sexo (p =0,360). Se requieren de futuras investigaciones que consideren un mejor estudio de las causas detonadoras de caries dentales, puesto que estas son factores difícilmente modificables.

Dental caries is one of the most prevalent diseases in pediatric dentistry. determine the prevalence of dental caries according to nutritional status, social stratum and sex of children between 5 and 12 years of age with mixed dentition. A descriptive retrospective cohort study was carried out, whose sample considered 161 children treated during the year 2021 at the Dental Clinic of the Andrés Bello University. The classification of nutritional status was carried out through the Body Mass Index (BMI) and its Z score (BMIz-score), while the social stratum was extended by the Graffar-Méndez Castellano social stratification method, these variables being related to the prevalence of dental caries obtained from radiographic examination. There are no significant differences between groups for the prevalence of caries according to nutritional status (p = 0.143), social class (p = 0.344) and sex (p = 0.360). Future research is required to consider a better study of the triggering causes of dental caries, since these are factors that are difficult to modify.

Se detectaron 62 niños con sobrepeso u obesidad. Resultados. En cuanto al diagnóstico nutricional, 42 (28 %) niños tenían sobrepeso y 20 (13 %), obesidad. El 78 % pertenecía a los estratos socioeconómicos 4 y 5. En cuanto a las características familiares, el 47 % tenía un solo hermano y el 25 % correspondía a hijos únicos; el 76 % de las madres y el 70 % de los padres eran profesionales; el 95 % de los niños no hacía actividad física importante. Conclusiones. En el análisis de la asociación entre algunas variables, se evidenció la relación entre el estado nutricional y el número de hermanos; los escolares con mayor prevalencia de sobrepeso u obesidad, con mayor frecuencia eran hijos únicos o tenían solo un hermano. Se estableció asociación con la edad de las madres, especialmente entre los 41 y los 50 años, la escolaridad de los padres, el hecho de tener una ocupación o trabajo fuera del hogar, y la pertenencia a los estratos socioeconómicos 4 y 5.

Introduction: Colombia is a country with overweight and obesity problems, which, in many cases, are due to bad eating habits. Objective: To describe the prevalence of overweight and obesity, as well as family, dietary, and physical activity factors in a group of schoolchildren between 6 and 9 years old from socioeconomic level 4 in Cali, Colombia. Materials and methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of 150 children from an educational institution in Cali. To collect the sociodemographic data we used a previously validated instrument; the anthropometric measurements were analyzed to diagnose the nutritional status in the World Health Organization (WHO) Anthro Plus program program. A total of 62 children were identified as overweight and obese. Results: Regarding the nutritional diagnosis, 42 (28%) children were overweight and 20 (13%) were obese; 78% belonged to socioeconomic levels 4 and 5. As for the family characteristics, 47% had only one sibling and 25% were only children; 76% of the mothers and 70% of the fathers were professionals; 95% of the children did not do significant physical activity. Conclusions: Our analysis showed an association between the nutritional status and the number of siblings; schoolchildren with a higher prevalence of overweight or obesity tended to be only children or have just one sibling. We also found associations between mothers' age, especially at ages 41-50 years, parents' schooling and whether they had an occupation or job outside the home, as well as belonging to socioeconomic levels 4 and 5.

Método Estudo observacional analítico transversal, com amostra probabilística estratificada por sexo, idade e ano escolar. Participaram 124 adolescentes, de ambos os sexos, entre 11 e 14 anos, matriculados no Ensino Fundamental II de uma instituição particular. Os responsáveis receberam um formulário online contendo: Inventário dos Recursos do Ambiente Familiar (RAF), Critério de Classificação Econômica Brasil (CCEB) e questões sociodemográficas. O desempenho escolar foi fornecido pela instituição. Realizou-se distribuição de frequência das variáveis categóricas e medidas de tendência central e de dispersão para as contínuas. Utilizou-se os testes Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis e coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, sendo considerados significantes os que apresentaram valor de p≤0,05. Resultados A maioria da amostra possuía 11 anos, do sexo feminino, cursava o 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental, obteve desempenho escolar muito bom, apresentava classificação A e declarou que a/o chefe de família possuía Ensino Superior completo. Houve associação entre idade e ano escolar com a interação com os pais, ligação família-escola e RAF total. Os processos proximais demonstraram correlação positiva de magnitude moderada com passeios e brinquedos. Houve correlação positiva moderada entre total do RAF e atividades previsíveis que sinalizam estabilidade. Os processos proximais se correlacionaram de maneira positiva forte com a ligação família-escola. Ter livros em casa revelou correlação positiva fraca com o desempenho escolar. Conclusão Os recursos do ambiente familiar apresentaram relação com o desempenho escolar dos adolescentes.

ABSTRACT Purpose To verify the association between family resources, sociodemographic aspects, and school performance in middle school students. Methods Observational, analytical, cross-sectional study with a probabilistic sample stratified by sex, age, and grade in school. A total of 124 adolescents of both sexes, aged 11 to 14 years, enrolled in a private middle school participated in the study. We sent to their parents/guardians an online form with the Home Environment Resources Scale (HER), Brazilian Economic Classification Criteria (CCEB), and sociodemographic questions. The school performance was furnished by the institution. We used frequency distribution analysis of categorical variables and measures of central tendency and dispersion of the continuous ones. We used the Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation coefficient tests and set the significance level at p ≤ 0.05. Results Most of the sample was 11 years old, females, sixth graders, with very good school performance, belonging to social class A, and whose householder had a bachelor's degree. Age and grade in school were associated with interaction with the parents, "family-school connection", and total HER score. The "proximal processes" had a moderate positive correlation with outings and toys. There was a moderate positive correlation between total HER score and "predictable activities that indicate stability". The "proximal processes" had a strong positive correlation with "family-school connection". There was a weak positive correlation between books available at home and school performance. Conclusion The family resources were related to the adolescents' school performance.

Assessment of the contextual effects on the prevalence of periodontitis: a systematic review

Abstract This study reviews the influence of contextual factors on periodontitis based on a systematic search of studies recorded in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases. Periodontitis was assessed by clinical attachment loss and probing depth for studies with data on the socioeconomic status (SES) of a specific area (area-level SES) or dental care service (service-level) in a catchment area among individuals aged 18 and over. Two independent reviewers performed study selection, data extraction, and assessment of methodological quality. Of the 646 articles identified, 13 were included in the systematic review, representing 101,362 individuals from five countries (USA, UK, Brazil, China, and Uruguay). A higher prevalence of periodontitis was described in lower SES neighborhoods, more deprived postcodes, and poorer provinces. Gini Index results were mixed and inconclusive. Three studies showed that higher coverage of primary dental care at the municipal level was associated with a lower prevalence of periodontitis. Contextual factors at the area-level SES and dental care service might influence periodontitis, but the existing evidence is unclear. The contextual effect is important for periodontal health and may contribute to the prevalence of periodontitis, independent of well-known risk factors and individual levels.

Relação do senso de coerência materno com a condição socioeconômica e a cárie dentária em crianças pré-escolares no município de Manaus, Amazonas / Relationship between the maternal sense of coherence with socioeconomic status and dental caries in preschool children in the city of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil

Objetivo:Avaliar a relação do SOC com índice Ceo-d e o SOC com as condições socioeconômicas familiares com a cárie dentária em pré-escolares (3-5 anos) do município de Manaus, capital do Estado do Amazonas. Métodos: O estudo contou com uma amostra de 89 pais e 89 crianças. Para avaliação da cárie dentária foi utilizado o índice ceo-d; o índice significativo de cárie (SiC Index) foi utilizado para avaliar a desigualdade de cárie na amostra do estudo; para avaliar o SOC materno foi utilizado o questionário (versão curta); e para avaliar as condições socioeconômicas foram utilizadas as questões do Levantamento Nacional SB Brasil 2010. Resultados: Houve uma média do ceo-d de 1,50 com maior ocorrência de cárie dentária nos participantes do gênero masculino, assim como índice SiC que se apresentou maior no gênero masculino em média 4,38. A média do senso de coerência materno foi maior entre as crianças de 5 anos de idade com um valor de 39,33 em média e no que tange às condições socioeconômicas, observaram-se que a maior parte dos participantes, 42,33 em média vive com uma renda familiar de R$1.501 a R$2.500 reais, e uma amostra considerável de 35,40 em média sobrevive com uma renda familiar de R$ 250 reais. Conclusão: Não houve uma correlação significativa entre as condições socioeconômicas e o SOC materno com o índice ceo-d.

Aim: To evaluate the relationship between SOC with the Ceo-d index and SOC with family socioeconomic conditions with dental caries in preschoolers (3-5 years) in the municipality of Manaus, capital of the State of Amazonas, Brazil. Methods: This study included a sample of 89 parents and 89 children. To evaluate dental caries, the ceo-d index was used; the significant caries index (SiC Index) was used to evaluate the inequality of caries in the study sample; to evaluate the maternal SOC, the questionnaire (short version) was applied; and to evaluate the socioeconomic conditions, the SB Brazil 2010: National Research on Oral Health was used. Results: An average ceo-d of 1.50 was found, with a higher occurrence of dental caries in male participants, as well as an SiC index that proved to be higher in males, on average by 4.38 fold. The average sense of maternal coherence was higher among 5-year-old children, with a value of 39.33 on average. As regards socioeconomic conditions, it was observed that most participants, 42.33 on average, live with a monthly family income of R$1,501 to R$2,500 reais, and a considerable sample of 35.40 on average survives on a monthly family income of R$250 reais. Conclusion: No significant correlation was found between socioeconomic conditions and maternal SOC with the ceo-d index.

Percepciones de los factores de riesgo asociados al contagio del coronavirus en adultos mayores / Perceptions of the risk factors associated with the contagión of coronavirus in elders

RESUMEN Objetivo Analizar las percepciones de los factores de riesgo asociados al contagio del coronavirus en adultos mayores pertenecientes a distritos con ingresos bajos de Lima Metropolitana (Perú). Materiales y Métodos Estudio de tipo cualitativo, con un diseño fenomenológico hermenéutico y con muestreo teórico. Para el análisis de datos se empleó el software ATLAS.ti 7.5. Participaron diez mujeres y seis varones, incluyendo contagiados y no contagiados. Se realizaron 16 entrevistas semiestructuradas durante los meses de agosto y setiembre del 2020. Resultados Se identificaron percepciones en el componente cognitivo, experiencial, sociocultural, confianza y eficacia. Además, no se encontraron diferencias significativas en cuanto a las percepciones de riesgo entre las personas contagiadas y no contagiadas. Sin embargo, en cuanto a la subcategoría de confianza hacia la ciencia, las personas que han contraído el virus tienen mayores percepciones negativas, a diferencia de los que no han sido contagiados, quienes, a su vez, muestran más percepciones positivas sobre los avances científicos. Conclusiones Los factores de riesgo identificados por los adultos mayores fueron: no respetar el distanciamiento social, el uso inadecuado de mascarillas y la falta de higiene personal. Asimismo, las percepciones negativas hacia estos factores de riesgo fueron de miedo al contagio de uno mismo y de los demás, la intranquilidad, la preocupación, la inseguridad o desconfianza, la desprotección y la incapacidad para enfrentar el virus; y en cuanto a las percepciones positivas, estas fueron: tranquilidad, seguridad, apoyo social, protección a la familia, esperanza y satisfacción.

ABSTRACT Objective Analyze the perception of the risk factors associated with the contagion of coronavirus in elders belonging to low-income districts in Lima Metropolitana (Perú). Materials and Method Qualitative study, with a phenomenological hermeneutical design. A total of 16 semi-structured interviews were conducted with elders aged 61 to 80, men and women, including infected and non-infected, between the months of August and September 2020. Likewise, the ATLAS.ti 7.5 software was used for data analysis. Results Perceptions were identified in the cognitive, experiential, sociocultural, trust and efficacy components. Furthermore, no differences were found in terms of risk perception between infected and non-infected people, however, regarding the subcategory of trust towards science, people who have contracted the virus presented higher negative perceptions, than those who have not been infected, who in turn, showed more positive perceptions of scientific advances. Conclusions The risk factors identified by elders were; not respecting social distancing, inappropriate use of masks and lack of personal hygiene. Likewise, the negative perceptions presented towards these risk factors were fear of contagion from oneself and from others, intranquility, worry, insecurity, distrust, lack of protection and the inability to face the virus, and in terms of positive perceptions, these were: tranquility, security, social support, family protection, hope and satisfaction.

Indicadores sociodemográficos e de saneamento e moradia na qualidade de vida de pessoas com estomia / Sociodemographic and sanitation and housing indicators on the quality of life of people with stoma / Indicadores sociodemográficos y sanitarios y habitacionales sobre la calidad de vida de las personas ostomizadas

Objetivo:Analisar as relações entre a qualidade de vida (QV) de pessoas com estomia com indicadores sociodemográficos, clínicos, de estilo de vida, de saneamento e moradia. Métodos: Estudo transversal com amostra de 106 indivíduos com estomia entrevistados de maio a dezembro de 2019. Utilizou-se um questionário sociodemográfico e clínico e o City of Hope - Quality of Life - Ostomy Questionnary. Resultados: O bem-estar espiritual (7,71±1,09) foi o domínio com melhor performance. A QV não diferiu entre homens e mulheres (p = 0,372), porém esteve associada à escolaridade (< 0,001) e renda familiar (p = 0,025), ao diabetes (p = 0,008) e etilismo (p = 0,044), às condições da água para consumo (p < 0,001), ao destino do lixo (p = 0,021), em ter energia elétrica (p = 0,034), ao tipo de moradia (p = 0,026) e ao número de cômodos (p = 0,023) e tipo de cobertura da habitação (p = 0,021). Conclusão: Piores indicadores socioeconômicos, de saneamento básico e moradia, parecem impactar negativamente a QV de pessoas com estomias.

Objectives:To analyze the relationships between the quality of life (QOL) of people with stoma with sociodemographic, clinical, lifestyle, sanitation, and housing indicators. Method: Cross-sectional study with a sample of 106 individuals with stoma interviewed from May to December 2019. A sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire and the City of Hope Quality of Life Ostomy Questionnaire were used. Results: Spiritual well-being (7.71 ± 1.09) was the best performing domain. Quality of life did not differ between men and women (p = 0.372), but was associated with education (< 0.001) and family income (p = 0.025), diabetes (p = 0.008) and alcoholism (p = 0.044), drinking water conditions (p < 0.001), garbage disposal (p = 0.021), having electricity (p = 0.034), housing type (p = 0.026), number of rooms (p = 0.023), and housing coverage (p = 0.021). Conclusion: worse socioeconomic, sanitation, and housing indicators appear to negatively impact the QOL of people with stomata

Objetivo:Analizar las relaciones entre la calidad de vida (CV) de las personas con estoma con indicadores sociodemográficos, clínicos, de estilo de vida, saneamiento y vivienda. Métodos: Estudio transversal con una muestra de 106 ostomizados, entrevistados de mayo a noviembre de 2019. Se utilizó un cuestionario sociodemográfico y clínico y el Cuestionario City of Hope - Quality of Life - Ostomy. Resultados: El bienestar espiritual (7,71 ± 1,09) fue el dominio con mejor desempeño. La CV no difirió entre hombres y mujeres (p = 0,372), pero se asoció con la educación (< 0,001) y los ingresos familiares(p = 0,025), la diabetes (p = 0,008) y el alcoholismo (p = 0,044), con las condiciones de agua potable (p <0,001), el destino de la basura (p = 0,021), la disponibilidad de electricidad (p = 0,034), el tipo de vivienda (p = 0,026) y el número de habitaciones (p = 0,023) y tipo de cobertura de vivienda (p = 0,021). Conclusión: Peores indicadores socioeconómicos, saneamiento básico, vivienda, parecen impactar negativamente la calidad de vida de las personas con ostomía.

Determinantes sociales de la salud y prevalencia de sobrepeso-obesidad en mujeres urbanas, según nivel socioeconómico / Social determinants of health and prevalence of overweight-obesity in urban women according to their socioeconomic level / Determinantes sociais da saúde e prevalência de sobrepeso-obesidade em mulheres urbanas, segundo nível socioeconômico

Resumen La obesidad es un factor de riesgo para diferentes enfermedades crónicas y está asociada a factores genéticos, ambientales y sociales. Objetivo: analizar la asociación entre los determinantes sociales de la salud y la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad en mujeres urbanas, según nivel socioeconómico. Métodos: este estudio de corte transversal se realizó un enfoque mixto. Para el componente cuantitativo se realizan entrevistas estructuradas a una muestra de mujeres de 25 a 45 años (n=137), representativa de dos cantones urbanos en Costa Rica. Para el componente cualitativo se realizan entrevistas semiestructuradas a una muestra de 13 actores institucionales de los mismos cantones. Resultados: existen desigualdades en la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad, con una mayor afectación en la población de bajo nivel socioeconómico. La inseguridad ciudadana, el nivel socioeconómico y la sobrepoblación son obstáculos para el desarrollo de prácticas saludables. Existe una asociación significativa inversa entre la actividad física regular y el sobrepeso y obesidad (OR=0,35, p=0,03). Conclusiones: estos resultados son un insumo para realizar acciones que promuevan equidad, especialmente en poblaciones que no cuenten con los recursos para llevar una vida saludable.

Abstract Obesity is a risk factor for different chronic diseases and is associated with genetic, environmental and social factors. Objective: To analyze the association between the social determinants of health and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in urban women, according to their socioeconomic status. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a mixed approach. For the quantitative component, structured interviews were conducted with a sample of women aged 25-45 years (n=137), representative of two urban cantons in Costa Rica. For the qualitative component, semi-structured interviews were conducted with a sample of 13 institutional actors of the same cantons. Results: There are inequalities in the prevalence of overweight and obesity, with a greater impact on the population with a low socioeconomic status. Citizen insecurity, socioeconomic status and overpopulation are obstacles to the development of healthy practices. There is a significant inverse association between regular physical activity and overweight and obesity (OR = 0.35, p = 0.03). Conclusions: These results are an input to carry out actions that promote equity, especially in populations that do not have resources for a healthy lifestyle.
