PP192-MON THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH OF THE CHILD-ADOLESCENT IMMIGRATION AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE NUTRITIONAL STATUS

ABSTRACT Objective To review the influence of social determinants of health in the nutritional status of the elderly assisted in a primary care Unit in a Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, community. Methods This was a cross-sectional study with an analytical approach. The universe was composed of 129 elderly attending a family health unit in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. The data were collected according to a protocol. The effect of the association of independent variables with the body mass index was estimated using hierarchical logistic regression models, simple and multiple multinomial. The significance level was set at 5%. Results There was a higher percentage of elderly people with excess weight (52.34%) in the assessment of body mass index. On analysis of the Mini nutritional assessment, the risk of malnutrition was 38.76%. On analysis of the calf circumference 13.39% of the elderly were malnourished. In the final model, the criteria for maintaining the elderly patients were the following: excess weight, marital status, hypertension, osteoarthritis and sewer destination. Elderly widowers had a higher chance (OR=5.17) of having excess weight and not to have sewage network serving their home and be hypertense (OR=2.71 e 2.83). The fact that the elderly have osteoarthritis also indicated a greater chance (OR=3.76) that they present excess weight. Conclusion Among the social determinants of health, the nutritional status of the elderly was associated with marital status, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis and basic sanitation. The social setting of the elderly is associated with their nutritional status.

<span>La condición nutricional de un individuo influye en su desarrollo, pero la prevalencia de hábitos alimenticios poco saludables altera el equilibrio nutricional y desencadena varias complicaciones de salud y que también están influenciadas por los determinantes sociales de la salud. Por esta razón, este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar los </span>determinantes sociales de la salud y el estado nutricional de los estudiantes de una escuela primaria y secundaria pública en un barrio en las afueras de Belém, Estado de Pará, Brasil. Junto con la recopilación de medidas antropométricas, se utilizó un censo epidemiológico y alimentario, siguiendo protocolos ampliamente aceptados probados en la región amazónica, así como una evaluación clínica individual. Se realizó puntuación Z score y estadística descriptiva. Se midieron 55 estudiantes, 30 mujeres y 25 hombres, con una edad promedio de 13 años, un IMC promedio de 19.66 para el grupo femenino y 19.38 para el hombre, con un 4% de los niños con retraso severo, mientras que el 3.7% de Las niñas informaron un "retraso" en su crecimiento. El 13,3% de las niñas y el 25% de los niños beben alcohol. Los estudiantes mostraron un estado físico general sin complicaciones mayores, no hubo individuos obesos, pero existe un riesgo potencial para la afección. Sin embargo, debido a que es un área periférica, los determinantes sociales de la salud pueden fuertemente permitir el procesamiento de otras enfermedades nutricionales, como desnutrición y especialmente estrés, desde que identificamos un estudiante que se auto mutilan, y muchos otros que experimentan violencia diaria y baja esperanza de vida.

The Los Angeles Plaza Community Center (PCC), an early twentieth-century Los Angeles community center and clinic, published El Mexicano, a quarterly newsletter, from 1913 to 1925. The newsletter’s reports reveal how the PCC combined walk-in medical visits with broader efforts to address the overall wellness of its attendees. Available records, some with occasional clinical details, reveal the general spectrum of illnesses treated over a twelve-year span. Placed in today’s context, the medical care given at this center was simple and minimal. The social support it provided, however, was multifaceted. The center’s caring extended beyond providing medical attention to helping with education, nutrition, employment, transportation, and moral support. Thus, the social determinants of health (SDH), a prominent concern of present-day public health, was a concept already realized and practiced by these early twentieth-century Los Angeles Plaza community leaders. Such practices, although not yet nominally identified as SDH, had their beginnings in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century social activism movement aiming to mitigate the social ills and inequities of emerging industrial nations. The PCC was one of the pioneers in this effort. Its concerns and successes in this area were sophisticated enough to be comparable to our current intentions and aspirations.

The Social

The term health disparities (also called health inequalities) refers to the differences in health outcomes and related events across individuals and social groups. Social determinants of health, meanwhile, refers to certain types of causes of ill health in individuals, including lack of early infant care and stimulation, lack of safe and secure employment, poor housing conditions, discrimination, lack of self-respect, poor personal relationships, low community cohesion, and income inequality. These social determinants stand in contrast to others, such as individual biology, behaviors, and proximate exposures to harmful agents. This chapter presents some of the revolutionary findings of social epidemiology and the science of social determinants of health, and shows how health disparities and social determinants raise profound questions in public health ethics and social/global justice philosophy.
