The purpose was to make a hygienic-sanitary diagnosis and risk factors identification in 81 fixed establishments of food restoration located in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The establishments were grouped according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The sanitary verification act, based on NOM-251-SSA1-2009, was applied. The minimum was 85 % in order to consider the evaluation was approved. 26 places approved the evaluation, the three best qualified, belong to franchises, 55 establishments were failed. Statistically it represents the same as the service corresponds to any of the NAICS categories addressed in the study. The risk factors detected in order of importance are associated with the following programs: quality control in water for general use; staff training; transport; pest control; operations control; maintenance and cleaning; Facilities and areas; quality control of the water in contact with foods. The written and operational absence of prerequisite programs was evidenced, so the conditions and measures applied are not sufficient to ensure the quality and safety of the food, and therefore represent a potential disease risk for diners in local restaurants.

Nationally Representative

Serostudies are needed to answer generalizable questions on disease risk. However, recruitment is usually biased by age or location. We present a nationally-representative study for dengue from 70 communities in Bangladesh. We collected data on risk factors, trapped mosquitoes and tested serum for IgG. Out of 5866 individuals, 24% had evidence of historic infection, ranging from 3% in the north to >80% in Dhaka. Being male (aOR:1.8, [95%CI:1.5–2.0]) and recent travel (aOR:1.3, [1.1–1.8]) were linked to seropositivity. We estimate that 40 million [34.3–47.2] people have been infected nationally, with 2.4 million ([1.3–4.5]) annual infections. Had we visited only 20 communities, seropositivity estimates would have ranged from 13% to 37%, highlighting the lack of representativeness generated by small numbers of communities. Our findings have implications for both the design of serosurveys and tackling dengue in Bangladesh.

The North Karelia Project was started in 1972 as a response to the high cardiovascular mortality among men in North Karelia, Finland’s easternmost province. Prevalent cardiovascular disease risk factors in the province included elevated serum cholesterol, hypertension, and smoking. Through a sociobehavioral framework utilizing community-based interventions and national-level policy changes and legislation, the project targeted lifestyle changes as a means to alleviate cardiovascular disease risk factors. Diet recommendations included minimizing the use of saturated fats and decreasing salt intake. Another target of the project was to reduce the prevalence of smoking. As a result of the lifestyle interventions that continued beyond the initial 5 years of the project and then expanded to all of Finland, there were significant reductions in serum cholesterol levels, hypertension, smoking prevalence, and cardiovascular disease mortality. The North Karelia Project demonstrates that successful population-based lifestyle interventions serve as a sustainable public health solution to the growing chronic disease burden.

The North Karelia Worksite Intervention Study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of worksite-based innovative intervention on chronic disease risk factors. The one-year intervention combined use of mass media, worksite opinion leaders, risk assessment and counselling and other health education measures. The study used eight medium sized intervention worksites (IW) and eight matched reference worksites (RW). Of the 715 workers 91% participated in the initial survey, and out of these 89% in the one-year follow-up survey. The proportion of current smokers changed from 39% to 30% ( p<0.05) at the IWs while no change took place at the RWs (33%). The effect on smoking was confirmed by serum thiocyanate analyses. An additive score of the three main CHD risk factors changed from 3.1 to 2.7 at the IWs and from 3.2 to 3.0 at the RWs ( p<0.05 for the net change). The results and experiences showed the feasibility of the intervention and significant, although modest, effects on risk factors and health behaviour, notably smoking.

Perception Of Health

El estilo de vida de la sociedad actual ha ocasionado un aumento en el riesgo de contraer enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles (ECNT) a mediano plazo. En México, las enfermedades cardiovasculares se consideran un problema de salud pública y han llegado a constituirse como la primera causa de muerte en la población adulta. La combinación de una dieta poco saludable, inactividad física y factores como el consumo de tabaco y la ingestión excesiva de alcohol, tiene un efecto acumulativo o incluso sinérgico que propicia una mayor incidencia de ECNT. Por otra parte, el término auto-percepción del estado de salud se refiere a la información suministrada por el individuo acerca de su estado de salud. El objetivo es determinar la relación que existe entre los factores de riesgo cardiovascular y la percepción del estado de salud en profesores de tiempo completo de la UABC, campus Mexicali. Para ello se hizo un estudio cuantitativo, transversal y de correlación en 225 profesores de tiempo completo, seleccionados aleatoriamente, a quienes se les aplicó cuestionario validado, pruebas bioquímicas y antropométricas. Entre los resultados están la prevalencia de sobrepeso más obesidad en 81.3 %, hipertensión en 28 %, glucosa elevada en 26.6 %, colesterol elevado en 37.3 %, LDL elevado en 53.3 %, triglicéridos elevados en 33.3 %, HDL bajo en 76.9 %, consumo de alcohol en 14.2 %, consumo de tabaco en 60 %, actividad física vigorosa solo en 3.9 %. Por otro lado, 68.9 % se percibe físicamente sano. La mayoría de la población estudiada presentó riesgos cardiovasculares y tuvo una percepción errónea de su salud.
