RESUMEN
The agri-food system needs to transition into a more balanced system that takes into account economic, social, and environmental factors. Young people are a key demographic group to consider as they are open to new trends of consumption, including sustainable buying practices. Public universities can play a significant role in promoting sustainable and healthy eating habits among students. In this paper, we focus on the perceptions of young people regarding sustainable food in the Madrid Region. We conducted a survey using a questionnaire-based approach among 1940 students in 2022. The results highlight that young consumers are highly concerned about food sustainability. They perceive sustainability as local and non-processed foods. However, this perception varies among young consumers, and we identified five different consumer profiles. Principal component analysis and cluster analysis provide insights into potential actions that universities can take to promote sustainable and healthy eating habits among students.
RESUMEN
ObjetivosDescribir el estado de salud y sus determinantes en los inmigrantes residentes en la Comunidad de Madrid y compararlos con los de la población autóctona.Material y métodosEstudio descriptivo transversal a partir de los datos de la Encuesta Regional de Salud de Madrid 2007 (n = 12.190). Se clasifica a los individuos en autóctonos o nacidos en países de renta media-baja con menos o más de 5 años de residencia en España. Los resultados se ajustan por edad. Las proporciones y las medias de las variables se comparan con el test de ji al cuadrado y regresión lineal.ResultadosComparados con los autóctonos, los inmigrantes son más jóvenes, desarrollan preferentemente trabajos manuales precarios que no se corresponden con su nivel educativo, y disponen de menos ingresos y menos espacio en sus viviendas. Tanto hombres como mujeres fuman y beben menos, pero las mujeres presentan mayores prevalencias de sobrepeso (un 10% más) y sedentarismo. La adherencia al cribado citológico y de la tensión arterial es hasta un 16% menor. Los hombres y las mujeres con menor tiempo de residencia acuden menos a las consultas de atención primaria y a urgencias, al contrario que los que llevan más tiempo en España. Las mujeres con 5 o más años de estancia tienen una salud autopercibida y salud mental algo peores. Los inmigrantes presentan enfermedades crónicas similares a las de la población autóctona, pero con menores prevalencias.ConclusionesEl estado de salud de la población inmigrante no es tan desfavorable como cabría esperar en función de la mayor prevalencia de determinantes de salud perjudiciales(AU)
ObjectivesTo describe health status and its determinants in immigrants living in the region of Madrid and to compare these factors with those in the native-born population.Material and methodsWe performed a descriptive, cross-sectional study based on data from the Madrid Regional Health Survey 2007 (n=12,190). Subjects were classified as native-born or immigrants born in medium-to-low-income countries and with less or more than 5 years of residence in Spain. The results were adjusted for age. Proportions and means were compared through the ji square test and linear regression.ResultsCompared with native-born residents, immigrants were younger, carried out mainly precarious manual jobs that did not match their educational level and had a lower income and less space in their dwellings. Both immigrant men and women smoked and drank less, but women showed a higher prevalence of overweight (10% more) and physical inactivity. Adherence to smear test and blood pressure screening was up to a 16% lower. Attendance at primary care and emergency facilities was less frequent in men and women with less residence time than in those with longer residence in Spain. Self-perceived health and mental health were worse in women with 5 or more years of residence. Chronic diseases were similar in both populations but were less prevalent in immigrants.ConclusionsImmigrants health status is not as unfavorable as could be expected from the higher prevalence of harmful determinants of health(AU)

OBJECTIVES: To describe health status and its determinants in immigrants living in the region of Madrid and to compare these factors with those in the native-born population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We performed a descriptive, cross-sectional study based on data from the Madrid Regional Health Survey 2007 (n=12,190). Subjects were classified as native-born or immigrants born in medium-to-low-income countries and with less or more than 5 years of residence in Spain. The results were adjusted for age. Proportions and means were compared through the ji square test and linear regression. RESULTS: Compared with native-born residents, immigrants were younger, carried out mainly precarious manual jobs that did not match their educational level and had a lower income and less space in their dwellings. Both immigrant men and women smoked and drank less, but women showed a higher prevalence of overweight (10% more) and physical inactivity. Adherence to smear test and blood pressure screening was up to a 16% lower. Attendance at primary care and emergency facilities was less frequent in men and women with less residence time than in those with longer residence in Spain. Self-perceived health and mental health were worse in women with 5 or more years of residence. Chronic diseases were similar in both populations but were less prevalent in immigrants. CONCLUSIONS: Immigrants' health status is not as unfavorable as could be expected from the higher prevalence of harmful determinants of health.
