Diferencias en la evolución del sobrepeso y la obesidad infantil en España en el periodo 2011-2019 por sexo, edad y nivel socioeconómico: resultados del estudio ALADINO / Differences in the temporal trends of childhood overweight and obesity in Spain in the 2011-2019 period by sex, age and socioeconomic level: Results of the ALADINO study

Introducción: El exceso de peso infantil es un problema de salud pública creciente. El objetivo del trabajo es estudiar la evolución de la prevalencia de sobrepeso, de obesidad y de obesidad central en escolares de 6 a 9años en España entre 2011 y 2019 según características demográficas y socioeconómicas.MetodologíaSe incluyeron las rondas 2011, 2015 y 2019 del estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal ALADINO en escolares de ambos sexos de 6 a 9años. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de la evolución de la prevalencia de sobrepeso y de obesidad según los criterios de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y la International Obesity Task Force (IOTF), así como obesidad central, y las variables demográficas y socioeconómicas asociadas.ResultadosEntre 2011 y 2019 se redujo la prevalencia de sobrepeso (criterios OMS) en niños de 6, 7 y 8años (−5,4, −5,7 y −5,3 puntos porcentuales, respectivamente) y niños cuyos progenitores tenían estudios superiores (−5,3 puntos porcentuales). Por renta, el sobrepeso en niños se redujo en todos los niveles de ingresos. Sin embargo, entre 2011 y 2019 se mantuvieron estables tanto la prevalencia de sobrepeso en niñas como la prevalencia de obesidad según las referencias OMS e IOTF y la de obesidad central en ambos sexos.ConclusionesLas prevalencias de sobrepeso y de obesidad en escolares de 6 a 9años en España siguen siendo altas. Entre 2011 y 2019 disminuyó la prevalencia de sobrepeso en niños de 6 a 8años y aquellos cuyos progenitores tienen estudios universitarios, mientras que la obesidad en niños, el sobrepeso y la obesidad en niñas, y la obesidad central en ambos sexos han permanecido estables.

Introduction: Childhood excess weight is a growing public health problem. The aim of this study was to assess temporal trends in the prevalence of overweight, obesity and central obesity in schoolchildren aged 6 to 9years in Spain between 2011 and 2019 based on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.MethodologyThe analysis included data from the 2011, 2015 and 2019 rounds of the cross-sectional observational and descriptive ALADINO study in schoolchildren of both sexes aged 6 to 9years. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the trends in the prevalence of overweight and obesity (defined according to the criteria of the World Health Organization [WHO] and the International Obesity Task Force [IOTF]) and of central obesity, in addition to associated demographic and socioeconomic variables.ResultsBetween 2011 and 2019, the prevalence of overweight (WHO criteria) decreased in boys aged 6, 7 and 8years (by −5.4%, −5.7% and −5.3%, respectively) and boys whose parents had a higher educational attainment (by −5.3%). In relation to the socioeconomic level, overweight in boys declined at all income levels. However, between 2011 and 2019, both the prevalence of overweight in girls and the prevalence of obesity (applying the WHO and IOTF criteria) and the prevalence of central obesity in both sexes remained stable.ConclusionsThe prevalence of overweight and the prevalence of obesity in schoolchildren aged 6 to 9years in Spain remain high. Between 2011 and 2019, the prevalence of overweight in children aged 6 to 8years and in children whose parents had university degrees decreased, whereas obesity in boys, overweight and obesity in girls and central obesity in both sexes remained stable.

The effect of complex posttraumatic stress and poverty on quality of life among adult survivors of childhood institutional maltreatment: evidence from survivors of the 'Hyeongje Welfare Institution' in South Korea.

Background: Childhood institutional maltreatment (IM) is associated with both complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CTPSD) and poverty in adulthood life, each of which may impact an individual's quality of life (QoL). To find implications for clinical practice and policy making for adult survivors with childhood IM experiences, it is necessary to conduct research examining their current QoL and identifying related factors.Objective: By applying the model of the conservation of resources theory, we focused on how adulthood QoL can be indicated by childhood IM as well as the life outcomes of IM such as additional lifetime trauma, CPTSD, and poverty.Methods: In a cross-sectional study, self-report data were collected from 127 adults who were survivors of the 'Hyeongje' childhood IM in South Korea. We conducted regression analyses of childhood IM experiences, trauma experiences after escape from the institution, current CPTSD symptoms, and current poverty experiences on current QoL.Results: The duration of placement at the 'Hyeongje' (ß = .24, p = .009) was associated with trauma experiences after escape from the institution. Trauma experiences after escape from the institution (ß = .25, p = .007) were associated with CPTSD symptoms. CPTSD symptoms (ß = .26, p = .005) were associated with poverty, and both CPTSD symptoms (ß = -.52, p < .001) and poverty (ß = -.26, p = .003) were negatively associated with current QoL.Conclusions: Prolonged childhood IM brings about loss spirals by increasing an individual's exposure to experiences of further cumulative trauma, CPTSD, and poverty. There is a need for due diligence-based policy making and public support from the government to help create upward spirals for QoL. This may include the imminent detection and rescue of children as well as providing a safe environment, offering multidisciplinary interventions including evidence-based treatment for CPTSD, and considering economic support including collective reparations.

Duration of placement at the 'Hyeongje' institution was associated with additional trauma experience after escaping the institution.Cumulative trauma after escape was associated with CPTSD symptoms; CPTSD symptoms were associated with poverty; and both CPTSD symptoms and poverty were associated with poor current QoL.Multidisciplinary interventions including evidence-based treatment for CPTSD and considering economic resources for childhood IM survivors would be crucial in increasing QoL.

Distribuição de óbitos devido ao câncer do colo do útero nos municípios de extrema pobreza, Brasil, 2000 a 2018 / Distribution of deaths due to cervical cancer in extreme poverty municipalities, Brazil, from 2000 to 2018

Resumo Introdução: O câncer do colo uterino (CCU) permanece uma importante causa de morte nas regiões mais pobres do mundo. Objetivo: Analisar tendências da distribuição relativa de óbitos por CCU ocorridos nos municípios de extrema pobreza (EP) do Brasil, de 2000 a 2018. Método: A distribuição relativa de óbitos por CCU nos municípios de EP foi avaliada em relação ao total de óbitos observados em cada Unidade Federativa (UF). Uma modelagem autorregressiva foi usada para avaliar as tendências temporais da distribuição relativa de óbitos de 2000 a 2018. Resultados: De 2000 a 2018, houve 94.065 óbitos por CCU no Brasil, e 10,7% deles ocorreram nos municípios de EP. Seis estados (Amazonas, Roraima, Pará, Amapá, Tocantins e Mato Grosso do Sul) tiveram 100% dos seus municípios de EP reportando a ocorrência desses óbitos. As tendências na distribuição de óbitos nos municípios de EP em relação ao total de óbitos de cada UF seguiram em elevação em onze estados brasileiros. Conclusões: O CCU é doença prioritária das políticas públicas do Brasil, e as tendências desses óbitos observadas nos municípios mais pobres apontam que mais atenção deve ser dada a estas unidades de análise, a fim de melhorar a saúde das pessoas mais pobres.

Abstract Background: Cervical cancer (CC) remains a major cause of death in the poorest regions of the world. Objective: To analyze trends in relative distribution of CC deaths occurred in extreme poverty municipalities, Brazil, from 2000 to 2018. Method: The relative distribution of CC deaths occurred in extreme poverty municipalities was evaluated in relation to total number of CC deaths observed in each Federative Unit (FU). An autoregressive modeling was used to assess the temporal trends in the death distribution, 2000-2018. Results: From 2000 to 2018, there were 94,065 CC deaths, and 10.7% of them were recorded in extreme poverty municipalities. There were six states (Amazonas, Roraima, Pará, Amapá, Tocantins, and Mato Grosso do Sul) with 100.0% of extreme poverty municipalities reporting the occurrence of these deaths. The trends of death distribution in extreme poverty municipalities in relation to the total of deaths in each FU followed in increasing trends in eleven Brazilian FU. Conclusions: CC is a disease prioritized by public policies in Brazil, and the trends of these deaths observed in the poorest municipalities point out that more attention should be given to these units of analysis, in order to improve the health of the poorest people.

Pobreza energética y salud en población gitana y en población general de España / Energy poverty and self-rated health among Roma population and general population in Spain

Objetivo: Cuantificar la pobreza energética en población gitana y población general de España, en 2016, y observar la asociación de este fenómeno con la salud autopercibida, ajustando por los principales determinantes socioeconómicos. Método: La pobreza energética fue definida como la incapacidad económica para mantener el calor dentro del hogar, la presencia de humedad en la vivienda y tener retrasos en el pago de facturas de suministros, con datos de dos encuestas europeas para España en 2016: la Encuesta sobre Ingresos y Condiciones de Vida (EU-SILC) y la Segunda Encuesta sobre Minorías y Discriminación (EU-MIDIS II). Se calcularon modelos de regresión logística jerárquica con la salud autopercibida como variable resultado, ajustando progresivamente por variables demográficas (género y edad), ambientales (temperatura del hogar, humedad y retrasos en las facturas) y socioeconómicas (nivel educativo, estado civil y situación ocupacional). Resultados: El 45% de la población gitana mostró niveles moderados o altos de pobreza energética. La odds ratio (OR) de mala salud autopercibida era mayor en la población gitana (OR: 3,11; intervalo de confianza del 95% [IC95%]: 2,59-3,74). No poder mantener una temperatura adecuada en el interior del hogar incrementó considerablemente el riesgo de mala salud (OR: 2,10; IC95%: 1,90-2,32). Tras ajustar por variables demográficas, ambientales y socioeconómicas, no observamos asociación entre población de adscripción y salud autopercibida. Conclusiones: Considerando los principales determinantes sociales, indicadores de pobreza energética incluidos, ser una persona gitana no se asocia con declarar mala salud. Este resultado señala la relevancia de abordar los factores socioeconómicos, la pobreza energética entre ellos, para reducir las desigualdades en salud.(AU)

Objective: To quantify energy poverty in Roma population and in general population in Spain, in 2016, as well as to observe the association of this phenomenon with self-rated health, adjusted according to the main socio-economic determinants. Method: Energy poverty has been defined as the financial inability to keep a home warm, the presence of dampness in the dwelling and falling into arrears in utility bills, using data from two European surveys from Spain in 2016: the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and the Second Survey on Minorities and Discrimination (EU-MIDIS II). Hierarchical logistic regression models were estimated with self-rated health as the outcome variable, progressively adjusted according to demographic (gender and age), environmental (household temperature, humidity and arrears in utility bills) and socio-economic (level of education, marital status and employment status) variables. Results: Our results show that 45% of the Roma population had moderate or high levels of energy poverty. The odds ratio (OR) of poor self-rated health was higher in the Roma population (OR: 3.11; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 2.59–3.74). The inability to maintain an adequate indoor temperature significantly increased the risk of poor health (OR: 2.10; 95% CI: 1.90–2.32). After adjusting according to demographic, environmental and socio-economic variables, no association was observed between the population of ascription and self-rated health. Conclusions: Taking into account the main social determinants, including energy poverty indicators, being Roma is not associated with reporting poor health. This result points to the importance of tackling socio-economic factors, including energy poverty, to reduce health inequalities.(AU)

Redes sociales de apoyo formales e informales para la reducción de pobreza del adulto mayor y su familia

Introducción: El aumento en la esperanza de vida se ha convertido en una realidad, en una problemática y en un reto para los países en desarrollo como Colombia, marcado por determinantes sociales dentro de los cuales la población adulta mayor se ve ampliamente afectada. Objetivo: Describir la percepción del adulto mayor y su familia acerca de las redes sociales de apoyo formales e informales, que contribuyen en la reducción de la pobreza. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio cualitativo con enfoque fenomenológico. Participaron 22 adultos mayores, 3 hombres y 19 mujeres entre los 60 y 89 años, dos cuidadores y un empleado administrativo de la institución en Neiva (Huila). Resultados: Los hallazgos se enmarcaron bajo tres cuatro categorías instauradas previa revisión teórica: precepción de envejecimiento, estructura de las redes sociales de apoyo, dinámica familiar y percepción de redes sociales de apoyo; además, se obtuvieron durante el estudio emergieron tres categorías emergentes: la pobreza más allá del concepto económico, entre lo espiritual y emocional como red de apoyo y la resignificación del trabajo en el adulto mayor como una opción. Conclusiones: Los adultos mayores perciben las redes sociales de apoyo formales e informales como necesarias para su bienestar físico, espiritual y emocional, además, identifican la resignificación del trabajo como una opción de vida desde sus capacidades instrumentales, junto con la espiritualidad, la cual se fortalece a lo largo de sus vidas y al interior de sus familias.

Introduction: The increase in life expectancy has become a reality, a problem, and a challenge for developing countries such as Colombia, marked by social determinants in which the elderly population is largely affected. Objective: Describe the perception of older adults and their families regarding formal and informal social support networks that contribute to poverty reduction. Materials and methods: A qualitative study using a phenomenological approach was conducted. Twenty-two older adults, three men and 19 women, between 60 and 89 years old; two caregivers, and an administrative employee at the institution in Neiva (Huila) participated. Results: The findings were framed under four categories established after a theoretical review: perception of aging, structure of social support networks, family dynamics, and perception of social support networks. Three categories emerged during the study: Poverty beyond the economic concept, between the spiritual and emotional as a support network, and the resignification of work in the elderly as an option. Conclusions: Older adults perceive formal and informal social support networks as something necessary for their physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being. In addition, they identify the resignification of work as a life option based on their instrumental capabilities, along with spirituality, which is strengthened throughout their lives and within their families.

Attitudes towards childcare practices in rural and urban caregivers with high rates of multidimensional poverty

Objective: To analyse the relationship between poverty and attitudes towards childcare practices in rural and urban areas of Colombia. Method: This article presents a cross-sectional correlational study conducted in the department of Atlántico, northern Colombia. Attitudes towards childcare and living conditions were assessed among 1189 caregivers of preschool children. The multidimensional poverty index and the participants' area of origin (urban or rural) were considered. Results: No direct relationship was found between attitudes towards childcare and the multidimensional poverty index. However, it was observed that urban participants from deprived areas had a higher poverty index and less positive attitudes towards childcare, especially regarding cognitive, sleep and health care. There was a moderating effect of area on attitudes towards childcare. Conclusions: The study highlights the influence of poverty and social vulnerability on attitudes towards childcare, particularly in urban areas. These findings underline the importance of considering socio-economic and geographical conditions when addressing childcare practices. It also highlights the need to implement specific strategies to promote positive childcare practices in more vulnerable contexts to improve early childhood development in Colombia.

Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre la pobreza y las actitudes hacia las prácticas de cuidado infantil en áreas rurales y urbanas de Colombia. Método: El presente artículo es un estudio transversal correlacional en el departamento del Atlántico, al norte de Colombia. Se indagó sobre las actitudes hacia el cuidado infantil y las condiciones de vida en 1189 cuidadores de niños en edad preescolar. Se tuvo en cuenta el índice de pobreza multidimensional y el área de procedencia de los participantes (urbana o rural). Resultados: No se encontró una relación directa entre las actitudes hacia el cuidado infantil y el índice de pobreza multidimensional. Sin embargo, se observó que los participantes de áreas urbanas provenientes de zonas vulnerables presentaron un mayor índice de pobreza y mostraron actitudes menos positivas hacia el cuidado infantil, especialmente en el cuidado cognitivo, del sueño y de la salud. Se evidenció un efecto moderador del área sobre las actitudes de cuidado. Conclusiones: El estudio destaca la influencia de la pobreza y la vulnerabilidad social en las actitudes de cuidado infantil, especialmente en áreas urbanas. Estos hallazgos subrayan la importancia de considerar las condiciones socioeconómicas y geográficas al abordar el cuidado infantil. Además, se resalta la necesidad de implementar estrategias específicas para promover prácticas de cuidado positivas en contextos más vulnerables, con el fin de mejorar el desarrollo de la primera infancia en Colombia.

COONCLUSION: From the perspective of the compassionate community project, the palliative care approach has shown a strong practice of nurse autonomy, provided visibility for social vulnerability, and strengthened the advanced practice of nurses in Brazil.

Problemas sociales: mucha frecuencia, poca formación / Social problems: high frequency, low training

Introducción: la patología social pediátrica en relación con inequidades socioeconómicas, relaciones disfuncionales familiares, inmigración, adicciones, violencia hacia la infancia, etc. va en aumento. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar su peso en la labor asistencial del pediatra, la descripción de la formación y los conocimientos en ese ámbito, y las razones que dificultan su implicación en estos temas. Metodología: estudio multicéntrico a través de encuesta online cumplimentada por 407 profesionales médicos. Se analizaron 11 problemas en relación con el entorno familiar, escolar, pobreza, inmigración, adicciones y violencia. Resultados: los problemas del entorno familiar o escolar fueron señalados como frecuentes o muy frecuentes por alrededor del 50% de los profesionales; los relacionados con inmigración, acoso y pobreza, por el 20-30%; y los referidos a violencia o adicciones, por menos del 10%. Sin embargo, los porcentajes de formación recibida (y de conocimientos) fueron muy bajos en todos los temas (la mayor formación se aprecia en violencia de género y abuso). Se desglosan los resultados según el ámbito profesional de trabajo (hospitalario o Atención Primaria), el entorno (urbano o rural) y la edad. La mayor dificultad que alegan los profesionales para el abordaje de estos problemas es precisamente la falta de formación. Conclusiones: la patología social infantil está muy presente en la labor diaria del pediatra. Por ello, se precisa una adecuada formación y actualización en esta materia que permita detectar y atender esta patología como el resto de los problemas de la infancia. Se proponen acciones de mejora. (AU)

Introduction: paediatric social disease in relation to socioeconomic inequities, dysfunctional family relationships, immigration, addiction, violence towards children, etc has been increasing. The aim of this paper is to analyse the importance of social disease in paediatric practice and describe the training and knowledge of providers on this subject and the perceived barriers to their involvement in these issues. Methodology: multicentre study by means of an online survey with participation by 407 medical professionals. We analysed 11 social problems related to the family and school environment, poverty, immigration, substance use and violence. Results: problems in the family or school environment were reported as frequent or highly frequent by approximately 50% of the respondents; problems related to immigration, bullying and poverty, by 20-30%; and problems related to violence or addiction by less than 10%. However, the percentage of respondents that reported receiving training (and having knowledge) were very low for all topics (the frequency of training was highest for gender violence and abuse). We analysed the results based on the care setting (hospital or primary care), geographical setting (urban or rural) and age of the provider. The greatest barrier reported by professionals in tackling these problems was precisely the lack of training. Conclusions: paediatricians encounter social disease frequently in their everyday practice. For this reason, adequate and up-to-date training on the subject is required to detect and treat social disease like any other childhood problems. Some improvement strategies are proposed. (AU)

Análisis espacio-temporal de la tuberculosis pulmonar para el periodo 2016-2020 en la Región Metropolitana, Chile

Introducción: El año 2020, la tuberculosis (TB) fue responsable por 9,9 millones de nuevos casos y 1,5 millones de muertes en el mundo. En Chile, se ha reportado aumento en las tasas de incidencia en los últimos años, con gran concentración de casos en la Región Metropolitana (RM). Objetivo: Evaluar la relación espacio-temporal de la TB pulmonar con variables socioeconómicas en la RM de Chile. Material y Método: Estudio ecológico desarrollado entre los años 2016 y 2020. Los casos se obtuvieron desde el Ministerio de Salud (n = 4.370), describiéndose según: sexo, edad, año de confirmación diagnóstica, servicio de salud y comuna de residencia. Se utilizó análisis de componentes principales para la construcción de factores socioeconómicos comunales. La asociación entre factores y TB pulmonar se evaluó con un modelo binominal negativo multinivel. Resultados: Se observó aumento en la tasa de incidencia (9,97 a 10,74 casos por 100 mil), disminución de la incidencia en personas ≥ 65 años (17,56 a 13,38) y en el promedio de edad (46,03 a 41,77 años). El factor caracterizado por mayor inmigración, hacinamiento y población urbana se asoció con mayores tasas de incidencia (RTI: 1,29; IC95: 1,23-134) y el factor con mayor escolaridad, menor pobreza y menor hacinamiento con menores tasas (RTI: 0,94; IC95: 0,89-0,98) en el periodo. Conclusiones: La disminución en la edad de los casos junto a la concentración de casos en comunas urbanas y céntricas, asociadas con variables socioeconómicas desfavorables, confirman que la TB pulmonar continúa siendo un problema de relevancia a considerar.

Background: In 2020, tuberculosis (TB) was responsible for 9.9 million new cases and 1.5 million deaths worldwide. In Chile, an increase in incidence rates has been reported in recent years, with a concentration of cases in the Metropolitan Region (MR). Aim: To evaluate the spatio-temporal relationship of pulmonary TB with socioeconomic variables in the MR of Chile. Methods: Ecological study developed between 2016 and 2020. Cases were obtained from the Ministry of Health (n = 4,370) and described by: sex, age, year of confirmation, health service, and commune of residence. Principal component analysis was used to construct community socioeconomic factors, and the association between factors and pulmonary TB was evaluated with a multilevel negative binomial model. Results: There was an increase in the incidence rate (9.97 to 10.74 cases per 100,000), a decrease in the incidence in people ≥ 65 years (17.56 to 13.38), and the average age (46.03 to 41.77 years). The factor characterized by greater immigration, overcrowding, and the urban population was associated with more elevated incidence rates (RTI: 1.29; IC95: 1.23-134), and the factor with higher education, less poverty, and less overcrowding with lower rates (RTI: 0.94; CI 95: 0.89-0.98) in the period. Conclusions: The decrease in the age of the cases together and the concentration of cases in urban and central communes, associated with unfavorable socioeconomic variables, confirm that pulmonary TB continues to be a relevant problem to consider.

Does the Brazilian cash transfer program (bolsa familia): Protect nutritional deviations among infants and breastfeeding practices in a capital of the Central Region of Brazil?

Cash transfer programs are strategies used by countries, intended for impoverished families, which play an essential role in promoting access to public services such as health, education, and social protection. Programs may also promote food and nutrition security. The Brazilian Cash Transfer Program ("Bolsa Familia") (BFP) aims to alleviate immediate poverty and combat hunger. The aim of this study is to characterize the nutritional and breastfeeding status of children under two years old among both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of BFP. Data from the Brazilian Food and Nutritional Surveillance System, available in the primary healthcare service system of Goiania, Brazil, in 2013 were collected. The following variables were evaluated: sex, weight, height/length, age, and breastfeeding status. Data from 4,567 children under 24 months old were assessed, of which 2.72% (n= 124) were BFP beneficiaries. Beneficiaries had a lower odd of receiving breast milk compared to non-beneficiaries (OR= 0.46, 95% CI:0.31; 0.66, p= 0.0001). Regarding nutritional status, 18.14% (n= 790) of children were diagnosed with nutritional deviation, and overweight was the most prevalent (n=352, 8.04%). Beneficiaries presented a lower odd of developing stunting when compared to non-beneficiaries of BFP (OR= 0.44, 95% CI:0.25; 0.77, p= 0.006). Being a BFP beneficiary was a protective factor for the stunting in children under 24 months old in Goiania, Brazil. However, measures to promote and support breastfeeding should be intensified in primary healthcare service, aimed primarily at children in social vulnerability.

Los programas de transferencias en efectivo son estrategias utilizadas por los países, destinadas a familias en situación de pobreza y pobreza extrema, que juegan un papel fundamental en la promoción del acceso a los servicios públicos como salud, educación y protección social, además de promover la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional. El Programa Brasileño de Transferencias en Efectivo ("Bolsa Familia") (BFP) tiene como objetivo aliviar la pobreza inmediata y combatir el hambre. El objetivo de este estudio es caracterizar el estado nutricional y de lactancia de los niños menores de dos años, tanto beneficiarios como no beneficiarios del BFP. Se recogieron datos del Sistema de Vigilancia Alimentaria y Nutricional Brasileña, disponibles en el sistema de atención primaria de salud de Goiânia, Brasil, en 2013. Se evaluaron las siguientes variables, sexo, peso, talla, edad y estado de lactancia. Se evaluaron datos de 4.567 menores de 24 meses, de los cuales el 2.72% (n=124) eran beneficiarios del BFP. Las beneficiarias presentaron menos posibilidades de recibir leche materna en comparación con las no beneficiarias (OR= 0.46, IC95%:0,31; 0,66, p= 0,0001). En cuanto al estado nutricional, el 18,14% (n= 790) de los niños fueron diagnosticado con desviación nutricional, siendo el sobrepeso el más prevalente (n= 352, 8, 04%). Los beneficiarios presentaron menos probabilidad de desarrollar talla baja en comparación con los no beneficiarios del BFP (OR= 0.44, IC95%: 0.25; 0.77, p= 0.006). Ser beneficiario del BFP fue un factor de protección para la baja talla en menores de 24 meses en Goiania, Brasil. Sin embargo, se deben intensificar las medidas de promoción y apoyo a la lactancia materna en los servicios de atención primaria de salud, dirigidas principalmente a los niños en situación de vulnerabilidad social.

Desigualdades socioeconómicas y de género en la obesidad infantil en España / Socioeconomic and gender inequalities in childhood obesity in Spain

Introducción: La obesidad infantil se asocia inversamente con el nivel socioeconómico familiar en países desarrollados. El objetivo es evaluar la asociación entre la situación ponderal infantil y el nivel socioeconómico familiar, según características familiares, percepciones, hábitos de vida y entorno escolar. Metodología: Análisis descriptivo de la situación ponderal infantil según factores socioeconómicos familiares y variables mediadoras en el estudio ALADINO 2019, en una muestra de 16.665 escolares representativa de la población escolar de seis a nueve años en España. Resultados: La prevalencia de obesidad infantil en hogares de bajo nivel socioeconómico (26,8% niños; 20,4% niñas) era, en ambos sexos, el doble de la de los de mayor nivel (12,1% niños; 8,7% niñas). En escolares de familias de baja renta eran más frecuentes hábitos alimentarios poco saludables, el sedentarismo (principalmente en niñas) y la presencia de pantallas en la habitación (más en niños). Por el contrario, en hogares más desfavorecidos eran menos frecuentes el antecedente de lactancia materna y la práctica de actividad física (especialmente en niñas). La disponibilidad de cocina propia, actividades deportivas y gimnasio cubierto en los centros era también menos habitual para los escolares de familias de menor renta. Conclusiones: Un menor nivel socioeconómico del hogar se asocia con peores hábitos alimentarios y de actividad física y ciertas características del entorno familiar y el escolar, que a su vez median la asociación inversa que existe entre el nivel socioeconómico y la prevalencia de obesidad infantil. Las niñas realizan menos actividad física y presentan más sedentarismo, mientras que los niños tienen más acceso a pantallas. Las intervenciones para combatir la obesidad infantil deben contemplar las desigualdades identificadas. (AU)

Introduction: Childhood obesity is inversely associated with household socioeconomic status in high-income countries. Our aim was to explore the association between childhood weight status and household socioeconomic status in Spain in relation to family characteristics, perceptions and lifestyle habits and the school environment. Methods: We performed a descriptive analysis of child weight status according to family socioeconomic factors and mediating variables based on data from the ALADINO 2019 study in a sample of 16 665 schoolchildren representative of the population aged 6–9 years in Spain. Results: The prevalence of childhood obesity in households with low socioeconomic status (26.8% boys; 20.4% girls) was, in both sexes, twice as high as in those with higher socioeconomic status (12.1% boys; 8.7% girls). Unhealthy eating habits, sedentary lifestyles (mainly in girls) and the presence of screens in the bedroom (more prevalent in boys) were more frequent in school-aged children from low-income households. On the other hand, in the most disadvantaged households, a history of breastfeeding and physical activity (especially in girls) were less frequent. Similarly, schools attended by children from low-income households were less likely to have their own kitchens and indoor gymnasiums or offer sports activities. Conclusions: A lower household socioeconomic status was associated with poorer dietary and physical activity habits and certain characteristics of the family and school environments that mediate the inverse association between household socioeconomic status and the prevalence of childhood obesity. Girls were less physically active and reported more sedentary lifestyles, while boys had greater access to screens. Interventions to combat childhood obesity should address the identified inequalities. (AU)

Mental health and sleep quality of low-income mothers of one-year-olds during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent social restrictions created an unprecedented context for families raising young children. Although studies have documented detrimental effects of the pandemic on maternal well-being, less is known about how the pandemic specifically impacted low-income mothers. We examined depression, anxiety, and sleep quality among low-income mothers of one-year-olds during the early months of the pandemic using data from the Baby's First Years study. Focusing on the control group (n = 547), we compared mothers interviewed before March 14th, 2020 (n = 342) to mothers interviewed between March 14th and June 30th, 2020 (n = 205) to determine whether the pandemic was associated with differences in mental health and sleep quality. Mothers were recruited from four cities in the United States, and most of the sample identified as Hispanic (42.2%) or Black, non-Hispanic (38.6%). We found that mothers interviewed during the pandemic reported better mental health and sleep quality. While we cannot speak to longer-term impacts of the pandemic, it is possible low-income mothers experienced relief from daily stressors during the initial shelter-in-place orders, which may have led to improvements in well-being. These results have implications for understanding how complex life stressors influence mental health and sleep quality among low-income mothers raising young children.

La pandemia del COVID-19 y las subsecuentes restricciones sociales crearon un contexto sin precedentes para las familias que estaban criando niños pequeños. Aunque los estudios han documentado los efectos perjudiciales de la pandemia sobre el bienestar materno, menos se conoce acerca de cómo la pandemia específicamente tuvo un impacto sobre madres de bajos recursos económicos. Examinamos la depresión, ansiedad y calidad del sueño entre madres de bajos recursos económicos de niños de un año de edad durante los primeros meses de la pandemia usando datos del estudio Primeros Años del Bebé. Enfocándonos en el grupo de control (n = 547), comparamos las madres entrevistadas antes del 14 de marzo de 2020 (n = 342) con madres entrevistadas entre el 14 de marzo y el 30 de junio de 2020 (n = 205) para determinar si la pandemia se asociaba con diferencias en salud mental y calidad del sueño. A las madres se les reclutó en cuatro ciudades de Estados Unidos y la mayor parte del grupo muestra se identificaron como Hispanas (42.2%) o Negras no Hispanas (38.6%). Encontramos que las madres entrevistadas durante la pandemia reportaron mejor salud mental y calidad del sueño. A pesar de que no podemos hablar sobre el impacto a largo plazo de la pandemia, es posible que las madres de bajos recursos económicos experimentaran alivio en los factores diarios de estrés durante el inicial mandato de quedarse en su casa, lo cual pudiera haber llevado a mejoras en el bienestar. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones para comprender cómo los complejos factores de estrés influyen en la salud mental y la calidad del sueño entre madres de bajos recursos económicos que crían a niños pequeños.

La pandémie du COVID-19 et les restrictions sociales qui en ont découlé ont créé un contexte sans précédent pour les familles élevant de jeunes enfants. Bien que des études aient documenté des effets préjudiciables de la pandémie sur le bien-être maternel, on en sait moins sur la manière dont la pandémie a spécifiquement impacté les mères de milieux défavorisés. Nous avons examiné la dépression, l'anxiété, et la qualité du sommeil chez des mères de milieux défavorisés avec un enfant d'un an durant les premiers mois de la pandémie, en utilisant des données de l'étude Baby's First Years. Nous concentrant sur le groupe de contrôle (n = 547), nous avons comparé des mères interviewées avant le 14 mars 2020 (n = 342) à des mères interviewées entre le 14 mars et le 30 juin 2020 (n = 205) afin de déterminer si la pandémie était liée à des différences en santé mentale et en qualité de sommeil. Les mères ont été recrutées dans quatre villes des Etats-Unis et la plupart de l'échantillon s'identifiait comme Hispanique (42,2%) ou Noires, non hispaniques (38,6%). Nous avons trouvé que les mères interviewées Durant la pandémie faisaient état d'une meilleure santé mentale et d'une meilleure qualité de sommeil. Bien que nous ne puissions pas parler des impacts de la pandémie à long terme, il est possible que les mères de milieux défavorisés aient fait l'expérience d'un soulagement des facteurs de stress quotidiens durant la période initiale de confinement, ce qui pourrait avoir mené à des améliorations dans le bien-être. Ces résultats ont des implications pour la compréhension de la manière dont des facteurs de stress complexes influencent la santé mentale et la qualité du sommeil chez les mères de milieux défavorisés élevant de jeunes enfants.

Inteligencia artificial y administración de justicia: desafíos derivados del contexto latinoamericano / ntel·ligència artificial i administració de justícia: desafiaments derivats del context llatinoamericà / Artificial Intelligence and Justice Administration: Challenges derived from the Latin American context

El surgimiento de la Inteligencia Artificial(IA), en el marco de la Cuarta Revolución Industrial, obliga a reflexionar acerca de su impacto en la administración de justicia desde la óptica plural, interdisciplinaria y social que caracteriza a la bioética. Esto se torna imprescindible no sólo para garantizar una aplicación ética de la IA en la administración de justicia; sino, además, para asegurar el respeto de la persona humana y sus manifestaciones culturales -como el derecho-frente a las innovaciones tecnológicas. Por consiguiente, para lograr ese objetivo resulta clave, por un lado, entender cómo funcionan los sistemas de IA en el campo del derecho, y cuáles son las dificultades que se plantean desde las diversas aristas (ética, de razonamiento y jurídica). Y, por otro lado, mirar con atención las particularidades presenta el contexto latinoamericano signado por la desigualdad; la volatilidad social, política e institucional; y una atávica caracterización de la justicia. La justicia impartida con IA tiene la potencialidad de hacer realidad valores tan preciados como la celeridad y la seguridad jurídica. Y, al mismo tiempo, de amenazar la libertad, la privacidad y la igualdad de los individuos, sobre todo en sociedades atravesadas por diferencias estructurales como la latinoamericana.(AU)

El sorgiment de la Intel·ligència Artificial (IA), en el marc de la Quarta Revolució Industrial, obliga a reflexionar sobre el seu impacte a l'administració de justícia des de l'òptica plural, interdisciplinària i social que caracteritza la bioètica. Això esdevé imprescindible no només per garantir una aplicació ètica de la IA a l'administració de justícia; sinó, a més, per assegurar el respecte de la persona humana i les seves manifestacions culturals –com el dret–davant les innovacions tecnològiques. Per tant, per assolir aquest objectiu resulta clau, per una banda, entendre com funcionen els sistemes d'IA en el camp del dret, i quines són les dificultats que es plantegen des de les diverses arestes (ètica, de raonament i jurídica). I, per altra banda, mirar amb atenció lesparticularitats presenta el context llatinoamericà signat per la desigualtat; la volatilitat social, política i institucional; i una atàvica caracterització de la justícia. La justícia impartida amb IA té la potencialitat de fer realitat valors tan preatscom la celeritat i la seguretat jurídica. I, alhora, d'amenaçar la llibertat, la privadesa i la igualtat dels individus, sobretot en societats travessades per diferències estructurals com la llatinoamericana.(AU)

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), in the framework of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, forces us to reflect on its impact on the administration of justice from the plural, interdisciplinary and social perspective that characterizes bioethics.This becomes essential not only to guarantee an ethical application of AI in the administration of justice; but also, to ensure respect for the human person and its cultural manifestations -such as law-in the face of technological innovations. Therefore,to achieve this objective, it is key, on the one hand, to understand how AI systems work in the field of law, and what are the difficulties that arise from various angles (ethical, legal and reasoning).And, on the other hand, looking carefully at the particularities presents the Latin American context marked by inequality; social, political and institutional volatility; and an atavistic characterization of justice.The justice imparted with AI has the potential to make values as precious as speed and legalcertainty a reality. And, at the same time, to threaten the freedom, privacy and equality of individuals, especially in societies crossed by structural differences such as Latin America.(AU)

Comparação dos casos de beribéri entre indígenas e não indígenas, Brasil, 2013 a 2018 / Comparison of beriberi cases in indigenous and non-indigenous people, Brazil, 2013 to 2018

Resumo O beribéri é a manifestação clínica da deficiência grave e prolongada de tiamina (vitamina B1). Doença negligenciada que acomete a população de baixa renda, em situação de insegurança alimentar e nutricional. O objetivo do estudo foi comparar casos de beribéri em indígenas com casos em não indígenas no Brasil. Trata-se de estudo transversal de casos notificados de beribéri no período de 2013 a 2018, no formulário do SUS (FormSUS) do Ministério da Saúde. Foram comparados os casos em indígenas e em não indígenas pelo teste qui-quadrado ou teste exato de Fisher com nível de significância de p < 0,05. No período estudado foram notificados no país 414 casos de beribéri, sendo 210 (50,7%) indígenas. Referiram consumo de bebidas alcoólicas 58,1% dos indígenas e 71,6% dos não-indígenas (p = 0,004); adicionalmente, 71,0% dos indígenas consumiam caxiri (bebida alcoólica tradicional fermentada). Relataram fazer esforço físico diário 76,1% dos indígenas e 40,2% dos não-indígenas (p <0 ,001). Conclui-se que o beribéri no país acomete mais indígenas e está relacionado ao consumo de álcool e ao esforço físico.

Abstract Beriberi is the clinical manifestation of severe and prolonged thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency. It is a neglected disease that affects low-income populations facing food and nutrition insecurity. The aim of this study was to compare cases of beriberi among indigenous and non-indigenous people in Brazil. We conducted a cross-sectional study using data on cases of beriberi during the period July 2013-September 2018 derived from beriberi notification forms available on the FormSUS platform. Cases in indigenous and non-indigenous patients were compared using the chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test, adopting a significance level of 0.05. A total of 414 cases of beriberi were reported in the country during the study period, 210 of which (50.7%) were among indigenous people. Alcohol consumption was reported by 58.1% of the indigenous patients and 71.6% of the non-indigenous patients (p = 0.004); 71.0% of the indigenous patients reported that they consumed caxiri, a traditional alcoholic drink. Daily physical exertion was reported by 76.1% of the indigenous patients and 40.2% of the non-indigenous patients (p < 0.001). It is concluded that beriberi disproportionately affects indigenous people and is associated with alcohol consumption and physical exertion.

Psicología del desarrollo en Colombia: pasado reciente y situación actual / Developmental Psychology in Colombia: Recent Past and Present Situation

Resumen El presente artículo analiza el estado actual de la psicología del desarrollo en Colombia. El punto de partida es la producción académica más significativa de los grupos de investigación, registrada en el Sistema Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología de Colombia (ScienTI) en las últimas tres décadas. La revisión documental se organizó a partir de las principales áreas de trabajo identificadas: desarrollo en contextos de pobreza, desarrollo cognitivo, relaciones vinculares, desarrollo afectivo y emocional, desarrollo moral, psicología cultural del desarrollo y desarrollos atípicos. Se identificaron 44 grupos de investigación que aportan al campo de la psicología del desarrollo desde diferentes ámbitos teóricos, conceptuales y metodológicos. Cada uno de estos grupos brinda sus aportes desde diferentes regiones del país y en distintos segmentos de la población, en los que se destaca una preocupación por poblaciones en contextos de pobreza y violencia, respondiendo así a la situación del país. Algunos de esos estudios han contribuido a la identificación de factores protectores en poblaciones vulnerables y al fortalecimiento de bases seguras en familias, así como en la formulación de políticas públicas a favor de la niñez colombiana.

Abstract This paper analyzes the current state of developmental psychology in Colombia. The starting point is the most significant academic production of research groups, registered in the National System of Science and Technology of Colombia in the last three decades. The documentary review was organized according to the main areas of work identified: development in contexts of poverty, cognitive development, bonding relationships, affective and emotional development, moral development, cultural psychology of development and atypical developments. Forty-four research groups have been identified that contribute to the field of developmental psychology from different theoretical, conceptual, and methodological fields. Each of these groups provides their contributions from different regions of the country and in different segments of the population, in which a concern for populations in contexts of poverty and violence stands out, thus responding to the situation of the country. Some of these studies have contributed to the identification of protective factors in vulnerable populations and to the strengthening of safe bases in families, as well as to the formulation of public policies in favor of Colombian children.

Padrões espaciais da mortalidade fetal e carência social no estado de Pernambuco, Brasil / Spatial patterns of fetal mortality and social deprivation in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil / Estándares espaciales de mortalidad fetal y privación social en el estado de Pernambuco, Brasil

A mortalidade fetal é um indicador da assistência obstétrica e de condições de vida capaz de refletir o estado de saúde da mulher e a qualidade e a acessibilidade dos cuidados no pré-natal e na assistência intraparto. Com o objetivo de analisar os padrões espaciais da mortalidade fetal, a evitabilidade dos óbitos e a carência social no estado de Pernambuco, foi realizado um estudo ecológico considerando municípios, regiões de saúde e mesorregiões como unidades de análise. Incluíram-se os óbitos fetais registrados no Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade no período de 2010 a 2017. Classificou-se a evitabilidade dos óbitos pela Lista Brasileira de Causas de Mortes Evitáveis por Intervenções do Sistema Único de Saúde. Aplicou-se a estatística descritiva e o teste qui-quadrado para comparação de proporções das causas de morte. Na elaboração do índice de carência social, utilizou-se a técnica de análise fatorial por componentes principais com o teste de esfericidade de Bartlett para identificar a matriz de correlação. Com o índice calculado, os municípios foram agrupados em estratos de carência social pela técnica de k-means. Foram aplicadas a análise bayesiana e a estatística espacial de Moran para identificação de áreas prioritárias de mortalidade fetal e do índice de carência social. Registraram-se 12.337 óbitos fetais, sendo 8.927 (72,3%) por causas evitáveis. As variáveis idade da mãe, número de filhos mortos, tipo de gravidez, tipo de parto e peso ao nascer estiveram relacionadas à evitabilidade do óbito. Na construção do índice de carência social, o teste de esfericidade de Bartlett (χ² de 144,463; p < 0,01) e o coeficiente KMO (0,8) mostraram que as correlações entre os itens eram adequadas para a análise fatorial, assim como as correlações entre os indicadores. O índice de carência social indicou dois fatores que, juntos, explicaram 77,63% da variância total. A taxa de mortalidade fetal evitável apresentou aumento entre estratos de carência social, com taxas de 7,99 por mil nascimentos (baixa carência), 8,06 por mil (média carência), 8,83 por mil (alta carência) e 10,7 por mil (muito alta carência). O índice global de Moran verificou autocorrelação espacial significativa para a taxa de mortalidade fetal bayesiana (I = 0,10; p = 0,05), para a taxa de mortalidade fetal evitável bayesiana (I = 0,13; p = 0,03) e para o índice de carência social (I = 0,53; p = 0,01). Alguns municípios das mesorregiões do São Francisco e do Sertão Pernambucano tiveram simultaneamente elevada mortalidade fetal e mortalidade fetal evitável, além de índice de carência social muito alto. A análise espacial identificou áreas com maior risco para a mortalidade fetal. O índice de carência social relacionou alguns determinantes das mortes fetais em áreas com piores condições de vida. Detectaram-se áreas prioritárias para a intervenção de políticas públicas de redução da mortalidade fetal e seus determinantes.

Fetal mortality is an indicator of obstetric care and living conditions, capable of reflecting the state of women's health and the quality and accessibility of prenatal care and intrapartum care. To analyze the spatial patterns of fetal mortality, preventability of deaths, and social deprivation in the state of Pernambuco, an ecological study was carried out considering municipalities, health regions, and mesoregions as units of analysis. Fetal deaths registered in the Mortality Information System in the period from 2010 to 2017 were included. The deaths are classified as preventable by the Brazilian List of Causes of Preventable Deaths by Interventions of the Unified Health System. Descriptive statistics and the Qui-square test were applied for comparisons of proportions of causes of death. In the elaboration of the social deprivation index, the factorial analysis technique by principal components with the Bartlett's sphericity test was used to identify the correlation matrix. With the calculated index, the municipalities were grouped in social deprivation strata by the k-means technique. Bayesian analysis and Moran's spatial statistics were applied to identify priority areas of fetal mortality and the index of social deprivation. There were 12,337 fetal deaths registered, of which 8,927 (72.3%) were due to preventable causes. The variables of mother's age, number of dead children, type of pregnancy, type of birth, and weight at birth were related to preventability of death. In the construction of the social deprivation index, Bartlett's sphericity test (χ² of 144.463; p < 0.01) and the KMO coefficient (0.8) showed that the correlations between the items were adequate for factor analysis, as well as the correlations between the indicators. The social deprivation index pointed to two factors that, together, explained 77.63% of the total variance. The rate of preventable fetal mortality showed an increase among social deprivation strata, with rates of 7.99 per thousand births (low deprivation), 8.06 per thousand (medium deprivation), 8.83 per thousand (high deprivation), and 10.7 per thousand (very high social deprivation). The global Moran index verified significant spatial autocorrelation for the Bayesian fetal mortality rate (I = 0.10; p = 0.05), for the Bayesian preventable fetal mortality rate (I = 0.13; p = 0.03) e for the o social deprivation index (I = 0.53; p = 0.01). Some municipalities of the mesoregions of São Francisco and of Sertão of Pernambuco have simultaneously high fetal mortality and preventable fetal mortality, in addition to a very high rate of social deprivation. The spatial analysis identified areas with the highest risk for fetal mortality. The index of social deprivation relates to some determinants of fetal deaths in areas with the worst living conditions. We detected priority areas for the intervention of public policies to reduce fetal mortality and its determinants.

La mortalidad fetal es un indicador de la asistencia obstétrica y de las condiciones de vida capaz de reflejar el estado de salud de la mujer y la cualidad y accesibilidad de los cuidados en el prenatal y la asistencia intraparto. Con el objetivo de analizar los estándares espaciales de la mortalidad fetal, la evitabilidad de los fallecimientos y la privación social del estado de Pernambuco (Brasil), se realizó un estudio ecológico con los municipios, las regiones de salud y las mesorregiones como unidades de análisis. Se incluyeron los fallecimientos fetales registrados en el Sistema de Información sobre Mortalidad en el período de 2010 a 2017. Se clasificó la evitabilidad de los fallecimientos desde la Lista Brasileña de Causas de Muertes Evitables por Intervenciones en el Sistema Único de Salud. Se aplicaron la estadística descriptiva y la prueba de chi-cuadrado para comparar las proporciones de las causas de muerte. En la elaboración del índice de privación social, se utilizó la técnica de análisis factorial por componentes principales con la prueba de esfericidad de Bartlett para identificar la matriz de correlación. Con el índice calculado, los municipios se agruparon en estados de privación desde la herramienta de k-means. Se aplicaron el análisis bayesiano y la estadística espacial de Moran para identificar las áreas prioritarias de la mortalidad fetal y el índice de privación social. Se registraron 12.337 fallecimientos fetales, de los cuales 8.927 (72,3%) fueron por causas evitables. Las variables edad de la madre, número de hijos muertos, tipo de embarazo, tipo de parto y peso al nacer estuvieron relacionadas con la evitabilidad del fallecimiento. En la construcción del índice de privación social, la prueba de esfericidad de Bartlett (χ² de 144,463; p < 0,01) y el coeficiente de KMO (0,8) mostraron que las correlaciones entre los ítems estaban adecuadas para el análisis factorial, así como las correlaciones entre los indicadores. El índice de privación social señaló a dos factores que juntos explican el 77,63% de la variancia total. La tasa de mortalidad fetal evitable tuvo un aumento entre los estados de privación social, con tasas de 7,99 por mil nacimientos (baja privación), 8,06 por mil (mediana privación), 8,83 por mil (alta privación) y 10,7 por mil (muy alta privación). El índice global de Moran evaluó la autocorrelación espacial significativa para la tasa de mortalidad fetal bayesiana (I = 0,10; p = 0,05), para la tasa de mortalidad fetal evitable bayesiana (I = 0,13; p = 0,03) y para el índice de privación social (I = 0,53; p = 0,01). Algunos municipios de las mesorregiones de São Francisco y de Sertão Pernambucano tuvieron alta mortalidad fetal, además del índice de privación social muy alto. Un análisis espacial identificó áreas con mayor riesgo de mortalidad fetal. El índice de privación social relacionó algunas de las causas de las muertes fetales en áreas con peores condiciones de vida. Se detectaron las áreas prioritarias a la intervención de las políticas públicas para reducir la mortalidad fetal y sus determinantes.

Gini index decomposition by deprivation in multidimensional poverty: evidence from Chad.

OBJECTIVE: This paper aims the decomposition of the multidimensional Gini coefficient by deprivation to investigate how aggregate multidimensional poverty inequality translates into inequality within each of its components. This approach provides a better understanding of the distribution of deprivations held, the standard of living of the population and makes recommendations on government policies. METHOD: We use the method of Lerman and Yitzhaki (1985), which allows us to identify the impact of marginal changes on multidimensional inequality (fuzzy poverty inequality). RESULTS: The data used come from the Household Budget and Consumption Surveys of 2003 of 6695 households, 2011 of 9259 households and 2018 of 7493 households. Empirical findings suggest that the Gini index in 2003 is 0.229, 0.215 in 2011 and 0.180 in 2018. CONCLUSIONS: The different social policies to reduce multi-inequalities must mainly be oriented towards health policies and access to drinking water, which are unequally distributed during the three periods. And social policies to reduce inequality in education, sanitation and housing are also to be taken into account.
