Unlabelled: Social support networks are crucial for the health of older adults; however, personal characteristics and time of life may diminish the protective effect of social support.

Objective: to determine if the presence of social support networks were associated with cognitive impairment among Mexican adults aged 50 or older and if this relationship was different based on age.

Method: This study analyzed data from the National Representation Survey performed in Mexico, Study on Global Ageing (SAGE) wave 1.

Dissonant health transition in the states of Mexico, 1990-2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013.

Background: Child and maternal health outcomes have notably improved in Mexico since 1990, whereas rising adult mortality rates defy traditional epidemiological transition models in which decreased death rates occur across all ages. These trends suggest Mexico is experiencing a more complex, dissonant health transition than historically observed. Enduring inequalities between states further emphasise the need for more detailed health assessments over time.
