ABSTRACT
El informe del Bellagio sobre Agricultura Saludable, Nutrición Saludable, Población Saludable es el resultado de la reunión mantenida en el Centro Bellagio de la Fundación Rockefeller en el Lago de Como en Italia, entre el 29 de Octubre y el 2 de Noviembre de 2012. La reunión basada en la ciencia, fue orientada hacia la política. Se discutió extensamente el papel y la cantidad de grasas saludables y perjudiciales, con atención al contenido relativo de los ácidos grasos omega-3 y omega-6, el azúcar, y particularmente la fructosa en los alimentos que pueden conllevar la epidemia de enfermedades no transmisibles (EnT) a través del mundo. El informe concluye que el consumo del azúcar, especialmente en forma de fructosa de alta energía utiizada en bebidas refrescantes, posee una amenaza muy importante de la salud, especialmente en niños, y la mayoría de las dietas, aunque con diferencias regionales, son deficientes en ácidos grasos omega-3 y demasiado altas en ácidos grasos omega-6. Las interacciones gen-nutriente en el crecimiento y desarrollo y en la prevención de la enfermedad son fundamentales para la salud, por lo que deberían establecerse a través de todo el mundo Centros regionales de Genética, Nutrición y Condición Física para la Salud. Los jefes de estado y gobierno deben priorizar dentro de sus nacionales de forma urgente la Nutrición, cuyo acceso a una dieta saludable debería considerarse un derecho humano y dirigir la responsabilidad para que la Nutrición tenga un lugar en los Ministerios de Salud, más que la agricultura de modo que los requerimientos de salud conduzcan a prioridades agrícolas, y no viceversa. La seguridad nutricional debería ser considerada como prioridad como lo es la seguridad alimentaria (AU)
The Bellagio Report on Healthy Agriculture, Healthy Nutrition, Healthy People is the result of the meeting held at the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center in Lake Como, Italy, 29 October-2 November 2012. The meeting was science-based but policy-oriented. The role and amount of healthy and unhealthy fats, with attention to the relative content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, sugar, and particularly fructose in foods that may underlie the epidemics of non-communicable diseases (NCD's) worldwide were extensively discussed. The report concludes that sugar consumption, especially in the form of high energy fructose in soft drinks, poses a major and insidious health threat, especially in children, and most diets, although with regional differences, are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids and too high in omega-6 fatty acids. Gene-nutrient interactions in growth and development and in disease prevention are fundamental to health, therefore regional Centers on Genetics, Nutrition and Fitness for Health should be established worldwide. Heads of state and government must elevate, as a matter of urgency, Nutrition as a national priority, that access to a healthy diet should be considered a human right and that the lead responsibility for Nutrition should be placed in Ministries of Health rather than agriculture so that the health requirements drive agricultural priorities, not vice versa. Nutritional security should be given the same priority as food security (AU)

El Informe Bellagio sobre la actividad agropecuaria y la nutrición para la salud de las personas es el resultado de la reunión celebrada del 30 de octubre al 1 de noviembre del 2012 en el Centro Bellagio de la Fundación Rockefeller, ubicado a orillas del lago de Como (Italia). La reunión se basó en datos científicos, pero estuvo orientada a cuestiones de política. Se trataron ampliamente los temas de la función y la cantidad de las grasas saludables y las grasas poco saludables en los alimentos, con atención especial a su contenido relativo de ácidos grasos omega-3 y omega-6, y de azúcar, en particular fructosa, que pueden ser la causa de la epidemia de enfermedades no transmisibles en el mundo. El informe concluye que el consumo de azúcares, sobre todo en la forma de fructosa de alto contenido energético contenida en las bebidas gaseosas, supone una amenaza grave e insidiosa para la salud, especialmente en la niñez, y que la mayoría de los regímenes alimentarios, aunque con diferencias regionales, contienen cantidades insuficientes de ácidos grasos omega-3 y cantidades demasiado elevadas de ácidos grasos omega-6. Dado que las interacciones entre los genes y los nutrientes durante el crecimiento y el desarrollo, así como en la prevención de las enfermedades, son fundamentales para la salud, deben establecerse en todo el mundo centros regionales de genética, nutrición y buena condición física para promover la salud. Los jefes de Estado y de gobierno deben elevar la nutrición, con carácter de urgencia, al nivel de prioridad nacional, lograr que el acceso a un régimen alimentario saludable se considere un derecho humano, y hacer que la responsabilidad principal en materia de nutrición recaiga en los ministerios de salud, en lugar de en los ministerios de agricultura y ganadería, a fin de que las necesidades de salud orienten las prioridades agropecuarias, y no a la inversa. Debe asignarse a la seguridad nutricional la misma prioridad que a la seguridad alimentaria.

Recent technological advances in resuscitation equipment and procedures have opened the door for some developing countries to consider implementing early defibrillation programmes. This is particularly true in the Caribbean, where urbanisation is rapidly altering the nature of health problems, and public expectations of healthcare delivery is rapidly rising. However before an SCD victim in the Caribbean can expect to be rescued from a cardiac arrest there is much work to be done. 'Core ACLS' courses that emphasise the critical aspects of ACLS, coupled with widespread teaching programmes aimed at educating the general public about cardiovascular resuscitation, should be initiated. Before full advantage can be taken of recent technological advances, and emergency medical systems can become a reality in the Caribbean, a comprehensive approach to the introduction of resuscitative practices should be considered (AU)

This paper describes a unique programme, recently developed in Grenada, where no cardiological services have previously existed. In addition to becoming clinically important, the visiting cardiology programme has evolved into what has proven to be a conceptually interesting model for soliciting donations and attracting medical expertise to the Caribbean region. The programme was conceived and is directed by the University Vice Chancellor. A cardiovascular nurse coordinates and manages the programme with the aid and support of Mr. Alexander P Ross, Dean of the Caribbean Clinical Programmes at St. George's University, in collaboration with Dr. Phillip Finlay, Director of Medical Education and Dr. Garth George, Medical Director, Grenada General Hospital. The programme is fully linked to the Barbados Cardiology Programme, where services not included in our programme are available to our patients at a fraction of the cost charged in the United States (AU)
