Background: The implementation of vector control interventions and potential introduction new tools requires baseline data to evaluate their direct and indirect effects. The objective of the study is to present the seroprevalence of dengue infection in a cohort of children 0 to 15 years old followed during 2015 to 2016, the risk factors and the role of enhanced surveillance strategies in three urban sites (Merida, Ticul and Progreso) in Yucatan, Mexico.
Methods: A cohort of school children and their family members was randomly selected in three urban areas with different demographic, social conditions and levels of transmission.
Importance: Understanding global variation in firearm mortality rates could guide prevention policies and interventions.
Objective: To estimate mortality due to firearm injury deaths from 1990 to 2016 in 195 countries and territories.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This study used deidentified aggregated data including 13 812 location-years of vital registration data to generate estimates of levels and rates of death by age-sex-year-location.
Background: Over the past decades, the decline in mortality from stroke has been more pronounced in high-income countries than in low- and middle-income countries. We evaluated changes in temporal stroke mortality trends in Mexico according to sex and type of stroke.
Methods: We assessed stroke mortality from Mexico's National Health Information System for the period from 1980 to 2012.
Objective: To present the results of the burden of disease, injuries and risk factors in Mexico from 1990 to 2010 for the principal illnesses, injuries and risk factors by sex.
Materials And Methods: A secondary analysis of the study results published by the Global Burden of Disease 2010 for Mexico performed by IHME.
Results: In 2010, Mexico lost 26.
Objective: To compare and analyze the main characteristics associated with pedestrian injuries mortality in Mexico City.
Material And Methods: A crossectional design was done using the mortality database related with pedestrian fatality during the periods 1994-1997 and 2004-2007. Variables as sex, age, residence, education and place of evento ccurrence were analyzed.
Background: Tobacco consumption is the principal modifiable risk factor causally associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). AMI has been an increasing and important cause of death in Mexico since 1980.
Methods: To estimate the direct health care costs of AMI, we carried out a cost of illness (COI) analysis, using data derived from an expert panel consensus and from medical chart review.
Objective: This paper aims at describing the behavior of tobacco's demand in Mexico across four one-year periods: 1992, 1994, 1996, and 1998, as well as to estimate a cigarette demand function.
Material And Methods: A cross-sectional study with longitudinal analysis was conducted. Information sources were the Encuesta Nacional de Ingreso y Gasto de los Hogares (ENIGH) (National Survey of Household Income and Spending) (NHSIS) and the tobacco pack prices reported by the Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor (Profeco) (Federal Office of Consumer's Protection) (FOCP).
Objective: To assess the prevalence of tobacco smoking by work type among healthcare workers of Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (Mexican Institute of Social Security, IMSS), in Morelos State, Mexico.
Material And Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted in 3,133 healthcare workers in the 23 medical units of IMSS Morelos District, from October 1998 to March 2000. Data were collected using a self-applied questionnaire on tobacco smoking for different life-stages, some demographic characteristics, and work type.
