Objetivo: Presentar las prevalencias de adultos que acudieron a realizarse pruebas de detección de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles (ECNT) en el año previo, las prevalencias por diagnóstico previo de algunas ECNT, así como la proporción de los que siguen tratamiento farmacológico. Material y métodos. Se analizó la información de los cuestionarios de 11 895 adultos participantes de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición de 2022.

[Basic health indicators in the NutrIMSS program: a retrospective study].

Background: The NutrIMSS program is granted to populations with chronic conditions to improve basic health indicators and its effectiveness in this population is unknown.

Objective: To analyze the change in the basic health indicators of patients who attended the NutrIMSS Program, at the UMF No. 2 of the IMSS in Mexico City, during the period 2018 to 2019.

Exposure to -DDE during early pregnancy, anthropometry, and gestational age at birth, in a flower-growing region of Mexico.

Prenatal exposure to dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (-DDE) may interfere with fetal development; however, studies evaluating anthropometry and gestational age at birth show inconsistent results. Typically, -DDE exposure has been measured during the third trimester and missed the key early pregnancy period. We evaluated the association between -DDE exposure before week 18 of pregnancy and anthropometry at birth, as well as gestational length, in 170 mother-child pairs from a cohort study in a flower-growing mexican region.

Clean Air, Smart Cities, Healthy Hearts: Action on Air Pollution for Cardiovascular Health.

More than twenty percent of all cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths are caused by air pollution - more than three million deaths every year - and these numbers will continue to rise unless the global community takes action. Nine out of ten people worldwide breathe polluted air, which disproportionately affects those living in low-resource settings. The World Heart Federation (WHF) is committed to reducing the impact of air pollution on people's health and has made this a priority area of its global advocacy efforts.

Effect of exposure to p,p´-DDE during the first half of pregnancy in the maternal thyroid profile of female residents in a Mexican floriculture area.

Background: Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene (p,p´-DDE), the main metabolite of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), has been associated with changes in human thyroid hormone levels. Maternal thyroid hormones are essential for adequate fetal neurodevelopment during the first half of pregnancy.

Objective: To evaluate the association between maternal p,p´-DDE concentration and the maternal thyroid profile during the first half of pregnancy.

Indoor determinants of dustborne allergens in Mexican homes.

Exposure to indoor allergens represents a significant risk factor for allergies and asthma in several parts of the world. In Mexico, few studies have evaluated indoor allergens, including cat, dog, and mouse allergens and the factors that predict their presence. This study evaluates the main environmental and household predictors of high prenatal allergen levels and multiple allergen exposures in a birth cohort from Mexico City.

Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation during pregnancy and respiratory symptoms in children.

Background: Prenatal consumption of omega-3 fatty acids can act as an adjuvant in the development of the immune system and affect the inflammatory response of neonates.

Methods: We conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in Cuernavaca, Mexico. We randomly assigned 1,094 pregnant women (18-35 years of age) to receive 400 mg/d of algal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or placebo from 18 to 22 weeks of gestation through delivery.

Lung function, airway inflammation, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exposure in mexican schoolchildren: a pilot study.

Objective: To determine the association of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with lung function and pH of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) in Mexican schoolchildren.

Methods: A pilot study was performed in a subsample of 64 schoolchildren from Mexico City. Lung function and pH of EBC were measured and metabolites of PAHs in urine samples were determined.

Prenatal determinants of cord blood total immunoglobulin E levels in Mexican newborns.

Asthma and allergic diseases have increased worldwide; however, etilogic factors for this increase are still poor. Prenatal consumptions of fatty acids are hypothesized, although few clinical trials in developing countries have been performed. This study was designed to identify predictors of immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in cord blood of Mexican newborns.

[Food consumption and asthma in school children in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico].

Objective: To evaluate the relation between diet and the development of asthma and allergic rhinitis in schoolchildren from Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico.

Material And Methods: We apply the ISAAC's questionnaire in 5460 schoolchildren from 6 to 8 and 11-14-year-old of elementary level selected in random form. Six groups of food were formed using a hierarchic clusters analysis and the association was evaluated using logistic regression models.

Traffic-related air pollution and respiratory symptoms among asthmatic children, resident in Mexico City: the EVA cohort study.

Background: Taffic-related air pollution has been related to adverse respiratory outcomes; however, there is still uncertainty concerning the type of vehicle emission causing most deleterious effects.

Methods: A panel study was conducted among 147 asthmatic and 50 healthy children, who were followed up for an average of 22 weeks. Incidence density of coughing, wheezing and breathing difficulty was assessed by referring to daily records of symptoms and child's medication.

Air pollution, airway inflammation, and lung function in a cohort study of Mexico City schoolchildren.

Background: The biological mechanisms involved in inflammatory response to air pollution are not clearly understood.

Objective: In this study we assessed the association of short-term air pollutant exposure with inflammatory markers and lung function.

Methods: We studied a cohort of 158 asthmatic and 50 nonasthmatic school-age children, followed an average of 22 weeks.
