    Impacto de una intervención en alimentación y actividad física sobre la prevalencia de obesidad en escolares
    (Grupo Arán, 2013) Ratner, Rinat; Duran, Samuel; Garrido, María; Balmaceda, Sebastián; Jadue, Liliana; Atalah, Eduardo
    In Chile childhood obesity is a growing public health problem. Intervention programs within schools have shown variable results, with better impacts when multiple aspects are involved and included the entire educational community. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect on the nutritional status of children in intervention schools within 2 years of duration (Healthy Living Program). The sample included 2,527 students first through fourth grade of 3 counties of Santiago. The students were intervened and followed for a period of two years in their food and nutrition habits, physical activity and self-care practices, by a team of nutritionists and physical education teachers. Weight and height were measured at start of program, end of the first and second years of intervention, under standardized conditions and calculated the Z score of BMI and nutritional status according to the WHO reference 2007. At the end of the second year 1,453 children were reassessed. There was a significant decrease in BMI Z score in obese children (-0.3 SD) and obesity decreased from 21.8% to 18.4% at the end of the intervention. 75% of schoolchildren obese and 60.5% overweight decreased their BMI Z score, reduction that was greater in men and students in the upper grades. 51.9% of normal weight children increased their BMI Z-score age, although most less than 0.5 SD. The intervention in education, nutrition and physical activity among schoolchildren in three communes of Greater Santiago was effective in reducing the prevalence of obesity (-3.4 percentage points). The big challenge is to find mechanisms to give continuity to the program and evaluate long-term effects.

    Socioeconomic and Cardiovascular Variables Explaining Regional Variations in Stroke Mortality in Chile: An Ecological Study
    (2011) Lavados, Pablo; Díaz, Violeta; Jadue, Liliana; Olavarría, Verónica; Delgado, Iris; Cárcamo, Daniel
    Background: Regional differences in stroke mortality rates have been described in Chile. These could be related to the distribution of cardiovascular risk factors, the quality of medical care or socioeconomic status influencing incidence or case fatality rates. Our objective was to investigate variables explaining the variability in stroke mortality rates in the different regions of Chile. Methods: Adjusted stroke mortality rates in different regions were calculated for the year 2003. Variables were added from three sources: the National Death Certificate Database, the National Socioeconomic Characterization Survey and the National Health Survey. A logistic regression model was used to investigate regions, demographic variables and socioeconomic variables associated with the risk of death from stroke. A linear regression model was used to study the association of socioeconomic variables and cardiovascular risk factors with the standardized mortality rate by region and the contribution of these to the variability. Results: A twofold increase was found in adjusted stroke mortality rates among regions. Greater risk was associated with older age, female gender and residence in regions V, VII, VIII and IX. Sixty-two percent of the regional variability rate was explained by the combined prevalence of poverty (34%), diabetes (17%), sedentarism (8%) and overweight (3%). Conclusion: The risk of death from stroke in Chile is associated with age, sex and living in four specific regions of the country. The majority of the increased risk in these regions is explained by the prevalence of poverty, diabetes, a sedentary lifestyle and overweight. Copyright (C) 2011 S. Karger AG, Basel
